Review on πŸŽ’ CoolBELL Convertible Messenger Briefcase - Versatile Multi-Functional Backpacks and Laptop Backpacks by Christine Fugleberg

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Different colors - different fabrics

I like this bag but I ordered it in two colors and I'm glad I did because they are very different fabrics. The canvas one reminds me of my dad's bag from 1985, so it's not cool - especially for a woman. It looked like the light gray was a different fabric but it was hard to tell online so I ordered it and was glad it was a lighter smooth linen weave. The zippers are big and shiny and a bit noisy so I replaced them with silicone colored ones and they look way cooler (and not that cheap). Also, I replaced the shoulder strap with a patterned one so it doesn't look so boring. With these tweaks, I am happier with the look and can enjoy the amazing functionality of this bag without feeling inferior. I had several other laptop bags and needed lots of compartments to keep things separate and organized so I didn't have to rummage through everything. I also need a trolley bag pad on my back for travel. I love the fact that I can also convert this bag into many different carrying options. I don't carry backpacks, but I like having the option with this bag so I don't hit people with my messenger bag getting on and off the plane. I've been looking everywhere for a new bag after a recent long trip and this was the best I've found - at any price. But it would be nice if it had a water bottle holder. By the way, I was also looking for a vegan bag, which limited my options as leather is hard to avoid.
