I'm an elementary school librarian and I love this bag. It holds all of my daily essentials and my computer. The side pocket is just the right size to hold a water bottle. The best part of the bag, in my opinion, is the zipper. The zipper is thick and it does not stick when opening and closing.
When I saw the opportunity to get a bag at half off I took it. I did end up getting the only color I didn't want. The solid green one. I dressed it with pens and camera stickers. The pens stand out against the neutral background. The yellow daisy pattern I will have to buy next. I am a photographer and know all the flower fields in the area. After I got past not getting the pattern I wanted and was able to make use to the cute pins I got from the PPA conference, I realized it was so much lighter and easy to carry than my bag before. The brown leather straps are really nice! The zippers are also very good quality. The material is soft yet fills very wipeable to clean. Id' say it worth the money, even if you don't catch a big sale to order the exact one you want. I use it for paperwork and my 15in MacBook. I even put my Mac in an additional sleeve sometimes.
I love my backpack. I havent used it yet. I purchased using the bag for a trip i am taking. I would have like the strap to have a little more padding, but otherwise i love it. My next purchase will be a craft bag for knitting.
I love my bags! I have several, but my absolute favorite is the essential tote. I have taken it on many trips and it is still beautiful and functional. Worth every penny.
Love the mini totes! The new style with an insert zipper instead of a snap makes them even nicer. Great quality and love the muted colors. Get compliments on every one of them.
I received the mystery creator bag. I fits my huge computer but it is still compact and plenty of room for other things. Fits perfectly on my carryon luggage. Perfect for work trips.
It is absolutely beautiful!! I love that I can put everything I need in it to go back and forth to the office. It does become quite heavy - which I didn't expect. None the less I still love it.
