I ordered this in a pinch because I needed a case/bag for a 17" laptop asap. I also need to carry notebooks and other stuff so I wanted something a bit roomy.....and I wanted as inexpensive as I could get, but still look good. This bag checked all the boxes and then some!! It is so sturdy and well made!! It looks EXPENSIVE!! I got the bright yellow because....well, I wanted it! No Regrets!!!! I will tell you that this is a BIG bag!! It has some weight to it (I was used to a canvas messenger bag)... and it has a couple of inches on each side of the laptop.... perfect for stuffing in a water bottle and/or power cord. It can easily become heavy.... but how heavy it is is up to you. The other thing I noticed that I LOVE, is that when I use the shoulder strap, It did not cut into my shoulder, nor did it slip off!!! Both the strap and the handles are adjustable!!! For under 50$ you can't beat the quality, the sophisticated look and the size!!

Beautiful bag has room but is sleek and not bulky

UPDATE 3/8/20:
As my original review indicated, I was quite pleased with this bag. It was attractive, pretty color, sturdy, sophisticated, and like a tardis--inside was quite deceptively spacious compared to how it looked on the outside. My one disappointment was the zipper. In response to the 2-star review I left, the seller contacted me in the comments and offered to provide a replacement AND was willing to change the color; however, try as we might, Amazon did NOT make it easy to connect. I was unable to contact her because I was outside of the return period, and she was not able to see my contact info either. When I went to the seller's Amazon page to contact her through there, Amazon x'd out my email address included in the email...so she STILL was not able to connect.

One year later, I received a letter from her. She'd figured out a way to contact me, and reiterated her offer. She sent me a replacement in the new color I'd requested, with an upgraded zipper that supposedly has a minimum 3-yr lifespan and is manually tested. The new bag (which is LOVELY) also came with a long, adorable handwritten letter from the owner explaining everything, plus an additional courtesy gift. She persevered a YEAR later to provide me with my replacement, along with a gift and a lovely personal note. I'm happy to upgrade to five stars...she went above and beyond, and truly, the bag is lovely. If this zipper holds out, I will be VERY VERY pleased with the bag.

Loved this bag when I first received it. I traveled through airports and stuffed an AWFUL lot of stuff into it with ease. Unfortunately, though the bag has the capacity for a large amount of items, the zipper cannot handle having the bag overstuffed. Within a month, the zipper began to separate, and though I'd always fix it, it's to the point now that I pretty much can never zip it. I bit the bullet and bought myself a Coach.

I ordered this bag after doing a lot of research and picking up a lot of bags that were duds.

For context I am a full time grad-student, full time employee, full time wife and mom. My typical contents include: 13" Mac laptop (the heavy one), full size planner, 2-4 smaller books (think non-textbook), and purse contents (wallet, phone, chargers, lipstick, etc.)

PROS:
- Beautiful! The color (mauve) is gorgeous, the bag feels and looks expensive, and I have received so many contents. The bag is practical without sacrificing style.
- Well Made: the bag feels sturdy, holds all of my items, comes with a large variety of compartments, and feels secure whether being carried by the handles or wearing on the shoulder.
- Price: For the quality, look, and size I feel like this bag is worth the money. In the past trying to get away with cheaper bags I have often found I spent way more replacing them more often than investing in a nice bag like this!

CONS:
- Zipper: As others have mentioned the zipper can get stuck. However, I have found that when I do not have it loaded down there is less tension on the closure area and there is no problem. So for me, that's a sacrifice I make when loading it up- the zipper won't be used that day.

Overall, this bag is worth the money, holds up great, and is gorgeous! I would highly recommend!

I am using this as a church bag, and I particularly like being able to keep my Bible separate from the other things I have to carry with me, now that I am no longer keeping it in its own case. The various compartments give me plenty of options, and it's actually roomier than I expected.
