Not worth it's cost

I have been using the bag for a little over a month (I work a desk job) and one of the front pocket buttons fell off!!
I can't believe the poor quality I got for the price I paid. I invested in a premium bag to look professional, now I just look sad.

I am sorry I had to write a bad review but It had to be said.
Pros: looks good
Cons: poor quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Overall not a bad backpack

I've had this backpack for over 5 years (I have the polka dot lining for reference) and it's stuck with me the whole time. I tend to switch out of backpacks and trade them around when they don't work for my needs so I can't say that this was used the entire time, but I constantly would go back to this back.
If you utilize the front pockets and sections this bag can hold a lot. If all you plan to do is use the laptop compartment and middle section it's going to feel a bit small (for college needs). Sometimes I would have to switch this bag out for a bigger one for the semesters that required a lot of materials. I've noticed now that students are going digital (no textbooks, less paper) this size of backpack is becoming more popular.
I have my bag stuffed. I've got my laptop, iPad, planner, reading book, water bottle, and tons of other small things. The front compartment holds my pens, pencils, makeup, emergency kit, and more really nicely. The side pockets are way too short to hold any decent water bottle though, but I can fit mine inside the bag easily.
The straps are starting to rip off on the inside portion of the bag, but for that to just NOW be happening after 5 years of use says something about the quality of this bag.
My favorite thing that the images don't show, is in the laptop compartment section there's a mesh pocket at the top that you can house your chargers, wireless mouse, or other stuff. I LOVE it for putting my wallet and headphones in!
Overall, it's reasonably priced, professional looking, and I love it.
Pros: stylish, lots of compartments, thoughtful design
Cons: could be bigger, poor water bottle area
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice backpack but flawed

This backpack has plenty of pockets and storage for a variety of items. Zippers move with such ease. The front area with buttons is actually a large pocket, which I use for my hat and gloves. It’s super cute as well. I use it for work / transporting laptop/work materials
Only big negative for me is that its not freestanding (even with my laptop in it). Always have to lean it against a wall or chair, which I find very frustrating. Often times I set it on the floor and it always falls face toward. Same when I place it on my car seat. Always have to lean it. If it wasn’t for this flaw, it be the prefect backpack.
Pros: lots of pockets / storage space
Cons: unable to stand upright on its own

Love the Ogio. Good quality and the size a little more fit for feminine use. Would prefer another small compartment up front that zips closed for stuff. Works great for my 14” laptop with room to spare. I love the other deep pocket for a full-size notebook. And file folders from work.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Some good and some not so good

The buttons on the front came off relatively quickly and one missing feature is definitely a strap to attach to a carry-on bag for travel. Otherwise the material is nice and style super cute. Also not a ton of capacity but got lots of compliments before the buttons came off.

I needed a backpack to carry my new MacBook 16 inch. It is huge and heavy. This backpack carries the weight close to my back so that I can barely feel it. I’m actually able to carry my new laptop and my old laptop in the same backpack with ease. I love the buttons that make it feminine.

I bought this backpack for my wife a couple of weeks ago. She receives complements on how it looks almost daily. It stores all of her supplies and computer easily and is light weight. My wife is small in size and the backpack doesn’t look huge on her, which makes it comfortable to wear.

Love this backpack but not as much as the original

My husband bought me this backpack years ago - red with polka dot lining. Used it every day, got many compliments on it! It still looks in almost as good of shape as the day I got it. Recently, I bought another one in black - same fun style and just as roomy. My only disappointment is that the lining is more like a plastic cloth vs a silky material. I still love the backpack and the price was very affordable but miss the original lining material.
I would recommend this to a friend!
