Well...I was so excited about this backpack. My favorite thing about it was the gold zippers, but when I received it, the zippers were silver. Not a terrible thing, but not what I wanted or what was pictured. I will more than likely keep it anyway. The bag does seem durable. It's a little stiff, but I'm hoping it will soften up with use.I totally love this backpack. It's a very good quality leather and it looks amazing. The size it's perfect for me too, as I like to have space for many small items....however it's not too big either. I've used it every day for the past 3 months and it looks like in the beginning. The delivery time was fast also, so I really recommend this product, it's totally worth the money.I love it! Perfect size for everyday errands, fits my wallet, checkbook, phone, makeup and notepad easily and without bulk. The color is true to the example, heavy-duty zipper, lots of space to adjust. These days it's hard to tell if something is leather or "faux leather," PVC, vinyl or ... -- but this has a wonderful leather smell and a pebbled effect that's very appealing. One secure inside zipped pocket, four slots for pens, business cards, etc.., and a separate front pocket make it easy to organize. I might even buy it in black.The bag is comfortable to carry around. The only drawback is the metal zippers. If the zipper is made of better brand like ykk. I think it will be perfect. Im afraid the zipper will rust and not easy unzip.After few weeks, there is white dots in front of my bag. I wiped it with wet cloth but apparently it's not dirt but color came off the bag. Now it looks quite horrible. See photo attached.I really like this bag. I needed a laptop bag for work and I travel alot. It fits my laptop, a couple notebooks and also my phones, and phone cords. It looked small, when I got it so I was worried but it is actually perfect size for me. I wanted something that looked nice and wasn't bulky. Leather is of good quality, color is as shown in the picture.I Love this bag so much!! Its perfect, in my best opinion, its more of a purse than a book bag...its 2021, and I still love this purse. They don't make them like this no more and I'm very picky.Pros:--Very good looking--Seems to be a very robust build/genuine leather/strong zippersCons:--Exterior side pocket too small for cell phone--Should straps limited adjustment (shortest setting, bag still hangs down pretty far)--Zippers a bit tough to operatebought this for my daughter to use as her pocket book. she loves it and carries it evert day. the quality is exceptional, especially for the price.
