I purchased this bag as a replacement for my purse and as a way to carry my notebook, planner and some reading materials. I like the fact that it doesn't look too huge to carry around and yet it has tons of room! I can't imagine ever filling it up all the way, but I'm sure it is possible. I have been very impressed with this bag so far. It is made of very sturdy materials and feels like it should last for years. The view of the inside in the photos looks kind of rough, but the actual product is very nicely finished inside and the whole thing looks well-made. I did notice the occasional stray fiber woven into the fabric that looks like burlap? They aren't very noticeable and I think they add to the rugged charm of the bag. I like the fact that there isn't a zipper to the main compartment which makes it easy and quick to access my stuff. The front pockets are really roomy and hold all the stuff I used to keep in my pocket book plus a few extras. The side compartments are nice and have snaps at the tops to keep things more secure. I do wish it had a few more inside compartments for cell phone, wallet, etc. but it works fine as it is. It might loose some of its charm if it were more complicated.
The actual color is nothing like the photo, which in my opinion is ugly. I was looking for a servicable bag, and wasn't overly concerned with its appearence so I ordered it anyway. I was very pleased to see that it wasn't drab brown. It is actually a very classy gray-green color, leaning on the side of a stormy sea-green in my opinion. Its quite pretty, a much prettier color than Army green and more unique. The strap is wide and comfortable, and has a wide adjustment range. I have problems with my back so I prefer bags with long straps so I can carry them with the strap across my torso, and this bag is very comfortable to carry that way.
If you are like me and have the need to carry a notebook and/or school books along with your wallet and cell phone, this would be a good choice. It can be filled as little or as much as you need and looks great doing it to boot. I love it! I usually buy used gear, but I couldn't find a used bag that had what I needed. This one has lots of charm and the potential for customization. This was definitely a good investment.
