Finally found the perfect size canvas bag for my everyday carry, including my iPad 10th gen!
Looks well made and durable, I would say nicely done.
I seldom write a review, but this one deserved a big shout out!🥳
Kudos gootium, well done!

I love this bag it's perfect for holding a book and my note pad! I love rhw color, and cannot wait to stick some pins on it! My only complaint is that the front of rhe bag holder straps are not my favorite and might wear fast. Other than that, I love it!!

This is a very nice bag. Only complaint I would say in regards to durability are the straps in front. I believe they would wear out quickly. While I loved this bag a lot, unfortunately I had to return due to the size. Being a petite female it was a lot larger on me than I thought it would look. Otherwise, I would highly recommend.

Love the look and feel of this bag. It has that vintage feel and color. I'd buy another one again!

First off, I'm a guy, so while this is a 'satchel/messenger bag', a lot of people (including my wife and kids) refer to it as a 'man purse' or a 'murse'.....whatever.....it works. Here in America, men's messenger bags are not hugely popular yet, but in England and Europe, they are as common as wearing shoes. I carried a full size messenger bag around Asia and while it worked well, it was just too big and bulky, and if you travel in the summer, there is no need to carry an umbrella, gloves, and the various stuff that you need in cold weather. Enter this bag. It is small enough to be quite handy yet able to carry a surprising amount of essentials. The zippered main compartment has two open pockets inside. One that fits a cell phone and a larger one that nicely fits a 12oz water bottle like my insulated Klean Kanteen, and one zippered pocket for your passport, wallet or other small items that you want to keep extra secure. There is a larger zippered pocket in the back that can fit some flat items (like my Pad mini) but is too small for a magazine. A small outside zippered pocket could possibly fit a Tap/Oyster card but I probably won't use it. The two pouches under the flap can be used for an eyeglass case but be aware that they have no zippers or snaps so things can fall out, but putting some type of snap on them would be, well, a snap...(sorry, I couldn't help myself). Also, those pouches fit my trusty 12oz stainless steel water bottle nice and snug, so that is where it will probably reside. And about that large flap and strap closures. I've read here where some people feel it's very awkward and inconvenient and if your using this bag as a purse where you get into it 100 times a day, then you'd be right. But if you plan to travel abroad, you really need to understand that there are some very sneaky hands out there that easily find their way into open bags. Sometimes awkward and inconvenient can be a very good thing. When I see kids with backpacks and their water bottles and cell phones are sitting in the water bottle pockets, I cringe. Also, be aware that this bags material is pretty soft (but tough and seems quite durable) so there is no structure which I like. The color isn't really 'army green', but more of a brown. If your fashion conscious, then it might matter, but for me, it's just fine. Overall, when I travel I much prefer things that work rather than things that were designed to look good but really don't work very well. I have a feeling that me and my 'murse' are going to become close friends. Oh, and one more thing: Just remember that in most parts of the world, especially The UK and Europe, backpacks"¦.even small ones"¦. are not allowed in museums, galleries, or in most cathedrals. Shoulder bags, sling bags, and messenger bags are OK.
