I use it everyday. Love it!

I'm a female who has had a canvas bag that I used as a summer purse and I got complimented on that purse every time I went out of the house. After at least 10 years of summer use,(it is white) and being thrown in the wash about once a week, it was time to find another. I wanted a darker color and found this. I love it and it's even better than my old one! It has very convenient pockets that zip and a few inside that don't. It holds everything I need and it all has a special place. I couldn't be

Pros
  • ‎13.5 x 3.1 x 10.8 inches
Cons
  • May not be breathable

Good bag with attack Velcro

I originally ordered this bag to use as a replacement for my old laptop bag, as I prefer a messenger style. I was quite bummed when I got it that it was way too small for my 15.6 inch laptop. It would be fine for a mini notebook or tablet but doesn’t work as a laptop bag.I now use it as my purse/carry all however. I love all the pockets in it including the outside ones. It easily carries my headphones, cables, inhaler, wallet, and everything I need. The one drawback is the Velcro. It has a hard

Pros
  • I've only used the bag twice so, it's not a full review. Plus, I have not added any real weight to it.
Cons
  • Can quickly lose its shape

Took a long time to find.

I am real particular about my purses. Either too big, not big enough room too much wasted unusable space, or not what they appear or say to be.This bad is GREAT. Lots of zipper compartments that are not in the way and comfortably fit glasses, cell phone, etc. I cart a lot of things back and forth to work, a book, umbrella, etc. and this is great for that. Has the cross body strap which adjusts to any length. I am 5' so most cross straps are down to my knees. It is roomy, easy to find things and

Pros
  • estaba buscando renovar el bolso de mi MacBook Air 13 y el tamaño es exacto al esperado
Cons
  • Not suitable for formal attire

Great for my husband and getting through airport

I bought this unisex messenger bag for my husband who likes to bring a large iPad, magazines and "stuff" when we travel. He has a smaller "murse" -- man-purse -- but it is clumsy and doesn't fit him well. This bag is the perfect size for him and makes it easier for him to get the iPad out to get through TSA. The velcro makes it easier for him to open and close quickly and it is very roomy. I liked it so much when it arrived that I told him on Christmas that, if he didn't want it, I was going to

Pros
  • Nice bag. Is larger than I thought would be. Good for books and a small computer.
Cons
  • Limited storage capacity

Not What I Expected

I returned this item, it wasn’t what I expected.It could have just been a me error, that’s entirely possible, but it wasn’t what I was expecting.Let me set the scene, it’s mid December, and I need to get my dad a gift. I wracked my brain, running out of time, and decided to buy this bag. I thought it would make a good laptop bag.It might, for a young girl. I didn’t realize there was a decal on it that read "Fight for love, fight for life” or something similar on it. Had I known that, I wouldn’t

Pros
  • ‎1.45 pounds
Cons
  • May be easily torn or ripped

Perfect size and durable

I love this bag. It's the perfect size for my small laptop. It's durable and the stitching and zippers are of top quality. It has plenty of roomy pockets to hold my accessories.It would have been five stars if it had 1) a padded pocket inside for a laptop and 2) a handle on top, so I didn't always have to use the shoulder strap to hold it. (I easily remedied the lack of padding with a separate padded sleeve for my laptop, which stays in the bag at all times.)

Pros
  • 🤩
Cons
  • Strap broke like 4 months of use! Not very well made. How do I get a refund??

Great functional purse!

Well made with good craftsmanship. Plenty of room inside for all my stuff. Zipper compartment on one side and on the other a pocket. Exterior zipper compartment on back of purse.store my phone in there. Also one zippered compartment on the front flap of purse. The double pocket on that side could have been spaced out next to each other for cel and other stuff like my other purses,but other than that I was pleasantly surprised as I’d really needed something by 4th of July last month and was a…

Pros
  • Luggage & Travel Gear
Cons
  • May not have a long enough shoulder strap for taller individuals

GREAT CANVAS BAG! good for me

Just got my bag and an already greatly impressed. I bought the dark grey canvas and brown leather model.It is well made with good leather and quality zippers.Big enough for my 13 inch MacBook Pro.There Is not enough room to carry a ringed binder it is long and deep enough, but not high enough to zip the bag closed the binder end will stick out some.So I decided to switch to the Midori system.I've used classic Franklin classic size - monarch size and and am finished with large unwieldy…

Pros
  • Wanted to downsize from the traditional briefcase.This was the ticket.
Cons
  • May not match all outfits

Had it week. Perfect for my use.

I traveled for two years in Central America for two year and am a bag carrier. This bag replaces a small canvass messenger bag that I received from the Sierra Club for becoming a member. This one is a tad longer and deeper. It is handsome and perfect for use as satchel. I like the flap and ability to zip everything in, but I use use this function yet. I carry a wallet, sunglasses, mp3 player, phone, hand sanitizer, lip protecting, a pen, a small notepad, a rolled-up reusable nylon shopping bag,

Pros
  • The bag can be worn crossbody or over the shoulder for added versatility
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those with mobility limitations

Great quality for the price!

I was looking for a bag to travel with that had large capacity, water resistance and an adjustable strap to carry cross body. This bag did the trick! It was perfect for our trip overseas. Has multiple interior pockets and zippered areas to secure coins and cash etc. I like the exterior pockets for quick access to my phone which I use as a camera. The only thing I didn't care for was the Velcro used to secure the flap. It seems to be placed in such a way that it does not always find its way to…

Pros
  • The bag is spacious enough to hold a tablet or small laptop
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those who need to carry a lot of weight on a daily basis

I just recieved this, so, this is a .

I just recieved this, so, this is a mostly preliminary review.The material appears to be a fairly durable canvas material. The bag has a pleasurable density to it. The design is simple, and not overwhelming with pockets or buckles. I currently have about 350 pages and a notebook in it. I cannot imagine fitting a laptop larger than 13 inches into it. The measured 13.5" seems to be strictly of the bag itself, and not its capacity. The pictures imply that there is some sort of stability to the

Pros
  • The multiple pockets and compartments make it easy to organize your belongings
Cons
  • May not be suitable for heavy-duty work or frequent use

Replaced three other cases I have.

I use small cases to transport my IPad and phone and keys to and from work. Any messenger bag would do. I finally bought this one because all my other cases have metal buckles on the outside for looks. They have magnetic locks which at first are nice, but then because a hassle. I hated driving to work and hearing all the buckles clank and vibrate. This bag uses Velcro and makes no noise as I walk or open it. The spac

Pros
  • 1 YEAR QUALITY GUARANTEE
Cons
  • Can attract bugs or pests if left unattended

Pros
  • The bag is great for students who need to carry around books and supplies
Cons
  • May not have enough padding to protect electronics

Great bag for the money

Got this bag to replace my backpack since a backpack was too much to carry day to day. It feels really solid and it's on the smaller side which is nice, since it's still really spacious. Currently in it I have a 10,000mAh power bank, several cables, my laptop and charger, a magazine, a 20oz water bottle, a small first aid kit, and small bottles of headache medicine and antacids. And I'm still sure that I could fit even more if I wanted toOn to the complaints (and why I knocked a star off)…

Pros
  • The bag is perfect for those who prefer a more casual style
Cons
  • May not have enough strength to hold heavy textbooks or materials

Some design flaws but overall a good product

Two major flaws with this design: the lack of handle to carry this bag and it’s zipper which is oddly arranged in such way that it takes an extra effort to put and take out Mac Air out of the bag. Otherwise, it’s solidly made and has already survived one rain with no damage to the stuff which was inside.

Pros
  • The bag has a timeless design that won't go out of style
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those with back or shoulder pain

My go-to bag - my new review

I've had this bag for a long while now and its my everyday bag that I use whenever I leave the house. I'm able to have room to carry what I need and I like how simple the design is; which means I can wear it with any outfit.So its all good! Very good purchase!

Pros
  • SUPERB QUALITY
Cons
  • Can be bulky to store when not in use

This really impressed me

After I needed to start using a cane, I, in essence, also lost the carrying capacity of one of my hands. I saw the guys on Big Bang Theory using bags like this, so I got one too. It works great and allows me to carry even more than before when I wasn't using a cane. It really is great and for me, seems to be pretty durable.

Pros
  • Holds my work stuff.
Cons
  • May not fit larger laptops

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Lots of space for lots of stuff

I got This because I wanted something light weight however it ends up having a bit of a sloppy look which as a college professor I’m not too keen.

Pros
  • ‎unisex-adult (luggage only)
Cons
  • May not be suitable for long distance travel

Handy Work Bag: my feedback

This bag is very comfortable in terms of carrying and is easily manipulated around the body for better positioning or to allow other bags to be added or removed without an entanglement to occur. The bag comfortably seats all laptop components with ease and has room for organizers and enough pockets to keep well stocked and organized.

Pros
  • I was hoping this was bigger. I love the bag, but it's just too small.
Cons
  • Can easily get dirty
