Messenger Bag Outdoor Cross Body Bag Sling Bag Shoulder Bag

NOTE: This bag ships from China and takes up to 6 weeks to arrive. Mine took 20 days. Aside from that, I'm very impressed with this bag for the money. I needed something minimalist and better than the shopping bag that I have been using for months. I really wanted a rickshaw bag, but couldn't justify the price. It is not too big or small, but definitely not a weekend bag. It's more of a commuter + size. I chose the black one, which shows much darker than the photo. This bag is perfect to carry a meal, coffee, macbook pro 13, files/folders, pens, mobile, and tablet. The water bottle pocket is nice. It fits a slim starbucks thermos. The buckle pocket is multi compartmentalized, but I choose not to use it because buckles are way too fiddly. I guess it's for style points. The bag stays put either over one shoulder or cross body. The strap is comfortable and easily adjustable. The laptop pocket is padded, but I can't say if it will protect a computer from a drop. It does fit with my Cote&Ciet sleeve, but that's a step I'm trying to avoid. It doesn't have any harsh chemical odor. I really hope it's durable and last for the long term.

I like this bag a lot. I got it for taking back and forth from work while riding my vespa. It holds a lot for a sling bag. I mainly got it to hold my Nintendo switch, water bottle, snacks and to use when I go to Disneyland and other travels. Surprisingly it holds way more than I need it too but I did notice that the heavier the bag is the less comfortable it is. I didn't get it to hold a lot of things, so for the few things I got it for, it is great.PROS:-Great build quality-very spacious with room for about 2" of additional space in the main compartment-Holds my 13.3" MacBook Air-Comfortable under a certain amount of weight-Good aestheticsCONS:-Uncomfortable when filled with "too much" weight-Mesh on the strap is super smooth so it always slips lower on your back-Strap is a little too long(I'm 6' 1" and I wear an XL shirt, so I'm not a little guy) with the strap adjusted to the shortest setting it rests at the lower of my back near my waist)Overall I really like the bag but I had to make 2 adjustments to optimize the bag to my liking.1. I got a thin foam pad from the craft store for $1.19, that I cut and sewed over the mesh on the strap so it wouldn't slip on my shoulder.2. I folded the back of the strap and sewed it so that it would be shorter and sit higher up on my back. I'm still giving it 5 stars because the bag itself is terrific at the price point and I knew off of other reviews on these bags, by this seller, that I'd have to do some customization to the strap. I recommend this to anyone who needs a small carry-all and that either, doesn't mind it sitting low on their back or doesn't mind spending $5 extra on personal modifications.

I purchased this bag over the weekend and it’s was delivered in just two days via Amazon Prime. I’m an artist and illustrator who works in both digital and traditional media. I needed a bag that would allow me to bring both my 2nd gen iPad Pro 12.9” tablet and traditional art supplies with me on location. I didn’t want anything overly large or cumbersome. I also wanted a bag that was free of animal byproducts and this one has no leather/PU leather accents. It’s entirely canvas. So, I went for it.First, the quality of this sling bag is quite impressive. The canvas is quite sturdy and stitching looks good. Additionally, there are numerous metal loops that allow you to attach accessories or change the positioning of the sling strap to change how the bag is worn. This is great, since I’m on the smaller side (5’5” and 115 lbs) so the bag sits lower on my back than it would on someone bigger than me. I can slide bag to the side and have it a but more under my arm, which I generally prefer anyway. And, I can attach a small travel chair to the front so that I have a place to sit when I’m working on location. I love that!Second, the main compartment of this bag has a padded interior sleeve that fits my iPad with attached Apple Smart Keyboard perfectly, and still leaves plenty of room for a few sketchbooks. I would expect it could hold a 13” laptop as long as it’s thin, but anything bigger might prove problematic. There’s also a small interior pocket in the main compartment where I can store my Apple Pencil. The larger exterior pocket could easily hold a smaller tablet, a drawing tablet or other art supplies. And, the smaller exterior pockets provide plenty of room for charging cables and other accessories, additional art supplies, a few snacks and my smart phone. This is exactly what I wanted!I am really impressed with this bag and think it will meet my needs perfectly. We may need to pick up a second one for my husband. He hasn’t seen this one yet, but I think he’s going to love it as much as I do.

Over all I do like this carry bag/small backpack. Lots of places to put different things, it is sturdy and well made, I have been using mine for about a month to carry my stuff to go back and forth to work. The only thing that I don't like, is the lower rear outer pocket's strap closer, the one with the company label on it, is difficult to work quickly. I am guessing they did this to deter thieves, but I think that they could have made it differently and still be user friendly and thief deterrent. My suggestion would be that they make this cover go down further and then use the same type of connection that they use for the bottom end of the shoulder strap. Under a longer pocket cover and having to push the connector to open would be a thief deterrent, while still quick enough to be able to get in to for the user. I would also suggest that they make the bag a little taller so that there can be an outer pocket on the side where a small compact umbrella could fit into it, I have rigged mine up to work, but if the bag was a little taller and the pocket a little bit taller, it would be much better. Would I buy it again, yes. It is a great value, very good construction and a very good price. Some small changes in the design and layout and it would be perfect. That is why I gave it four stars.

It works

Perfect bag if ur going to get it do it

This bag is great. Its nice and big, very roomy There is a nice spot inside to put my tablet. I bought it to use as an art bag to Carry my small painting Easel and watercolours, but I liked it so much that right now I'm using it for my purse. I find its very well constructed and there are lots of compartments in it which is important to me because I like to keep my stuff separate in my bag and this is perfect. The colour is a very nice eggplant colour. Its very comfortable to wear on my back, I'm not a shoulder purse wearer at all I like my hands free so I can do other things. I would not hesitate to buy one from this company again and now probably will get one for my art supplies. I am very happy with my purchase.

Gotta love Covid for taking a perfectly normal thing like getting a package and send it through the roof with time spent waiting.Product itself is great... it's what I ordered and it works just like I want a backpack to work. Snaps snap and zippers zip... there are a number of hangers that I can leave some of my gear on to hang. It's very stiff right now... I'm working on getting it worn in a bit but I like the product... there is no doubt that it was worth the wait.The Wait: not the distributors fault... Covid and Canada Post conspired to keep my package in a truck for the better part of a month driving around my home town and never getting to me. Still if I was going to beef about anything... well it'd be that perhaps the distributor needs to practice a bit more due diligence when a query over the disposition of a package comes in. If they'd maybe asked Canada Post what they knew about the parcel... maybe it'd have come a bit faster. But Canada Post was getting snowballed by parcels and I can't complain overly.I'd buy from them again... just not during a Pandemic. Buy with confidence.

Pretty dope
