I have gotten to know the brand more than 20 years ago. My last bag of this size (i.e., not the one that I use to carry my laptop and notes, etc.) in a similar color and style that I had been using for a very long time got robbed in early April this year. This one is an improved iteration with all of the functionalities and a subtly fabulous color I want. It suits with my profession very well. But there was something extremely valuable in my previous bag.
I LOVE this bag for traveling! There used to be room for sunglasses, a slim wallet, a coin purse, and two 16.9iz water bottles. The interior pouches were great for my phone, receipts, and other miscellaneous items. The zipper pocket on the front made for easy access of my my passport. I carried this around Europe for three weeks and never wished it was anything else. I was able to wipe spills off it with ease. It’s going on another lengthy trip in a month and I’m so glad I know it will exceed expectations.
