I've had this bag for almost 5 years and take it to work with me every day, and it is still in perfect condition. No wear and tear whatsoever. I came back to it on here to see if it was machine washable, but it unfortunately isn't. But still, it's the longest lasting bag I've ever had, especially for every day use.

I bought the medium size and it is perfect to use as a personal item carry on. I was able to pack a smaller purse to use later in my trip in my carry bag n luggage and this bag served as the perfect bag for under the seat in front of me. All the pockets made it easy to find all my smaller items like my AirPods and chargers, chap stick, mints, etc"¦ The outside pockets were great for things like hand sanitizer, travel tissues and the like and because there are so many I was able to place my phone and empty my pockets into them making the TSA check point that much easier to grab my bag and shoes in one shot making it easier to grab my stuff and keep moving. The mesh pocket on the end made it convenient to carry the water I purchased after going through security and made it easy to get to during my flight. It's large enough to pack a change of clothes or a sweatshirt (maybe two if they aren't super oversized or puffy and can even be turned sideways so you can still stretch out your legs in front of you if you like. It is absolutely my go to travel purse/bag.

Purchased this bag to replace my 31 bag. I'm a teacher and carry A LOT of stuff. Just got the bag and it seems to be well constructed. I like the solid color liner inside but wish it was a lighter color, maybe charcoal instead of black to make it easier to find things. Same with the outside color, wish for a less distracting, more subtle patterns...I got the large so not many options...would like some solids.

The outside pockets are nice, taller than 31 pockets but not as roomy. I finally figured out why the 31 bags only have 2 pockets on one side -- so the bulge doesn't get in the way when you carry it. The inside pockets are nice to have but they are mesh which I think will get caught and snagged over time when putting things in or taking them out quickly....would have preferred pockets of the same material as the liner.

This bag is taller than it's 31 counterpart, which is nice so you can zip your stuff inside. For the most part the zipper is long enough so the top flaps mostly lay down flat inside the sides but....an inch longer zipper or a 2 part zipper would make it perfect. This bag is an inch wider than the 31 bag but you can't take full advantage of the extra width because of the zipper/flap situation.

The straps are about the same drop as the 31 bag which are not as long as i'd like but not impossible. As with all straps, they do tend to cut into your shoulders, especially with heavy loads, so I got the TriWonder 1.5 inch strap pads that fit wonderfully.

I like the thick, lined insert that fits in the bottom to help hold it's shape. There is a metal Pursetti tag on the outside that might get loose or caught on clothes??

I spent HOURS researching products, reading reviews, asking questions, and measuring....so far, it seems this bag is nearly perfect. BUT, it's July and school doesn't start for another month. I will also use this bag as my travel carry-on for my vacation in a few weeks.

So, right out the box I have no complaints (only minor suggestions for future improvements) but ask me again in a few months for my take on it's road worthiness.

I like having a larger purse so I can carry everything I might need with me. This purse has plenty of room for my phone, wallet, small emergency kit, water bottle, and more. The best thing about it is all the pockets! Plenty on the outside as well as pockets inside. I always used to have to hunt for my phone in my purse but not anymore. My dad teased me about getting such a big purse until we went shopping at the farmer's market. I was able to tuck our purchases in the pockets so nothing got damaged before we got home. This purse is terrific!

I bought this to store my diamond painting supplies. Works great! Everything fits wonderfully!
