Met my expectations! I purchased for my daughter. I wanted her to have a durable backpack that does not to be replace every year. The backpack is perfect!
Backpack seems well made, but has no interior pockets whatsoever. I've never had a backpack without interior pockets to help organize the small stuff. It would also ben nice if the exterior water bottle pocket could be wider to fit larger bottles. I purchased the pink color, and liked how it wasn't super "pink" in the photo. However, I was not expecting how bland the color is in person. It is more of a taupe with a very slight pink tinge to it. Definitely more of a neutral tone, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but just wasn't what I was expecting.
I have had this bag for just about one year and the fabric near the bottom of one of the straps has developed a hole by rubbing against my back. I have never experienced this with any other bag in the past. Also, in case any one is wondering, this bag was only carried to and from my car when I drove to work so it’s not as if I was wearing it for a long time every day.
I FINALLY found a cute high quality laptop bag. The straps fit comfortably and I have enough space to separate various items that help me stay organized for meetings. Thank you Herschel!
