"When it comes to messagner bags, this one is about as pretty as they get. The fabric is lovely and it's even washable. The depth of the bag is great and somewhat unusual - you can get a lot in the bag. It does have drawbacks, though. The flap is a little short. It really could have used a couple of extra inches to ensure that it covers whatever you've stuffed in the bag. The interior organization is nothing to write home about. And the clasp is a little cheesy (not to mention inconvenient), a real back-pack touch on a bag that costs way more than your average back-pack. Finally, it would have been nice to have an optional handle on the bag. When hauling it out of the car or off a seat, it would be nice to be able to grab it by something other than the shoulder strap. This bag looks very nice and avoids the boring profile of most messanger bags, but it is very pricey for what it is. If I hadnt taken advantage of a sale, I would never have bought it - and even then, I really debated whether or not to keep it. Ultimately, the unusual fabric and bag-depth kept it on the retain list - which wouuld not have been the case if Id paid the regular price. Still, I havent found anything I like better that isn't either too heavy (e.g., leather) or too much like a student bag or laptop bag. Kind of surprising how few professional messanger bags there are available that aren't leather."
