Doesn’t fit 16inch MacBook

best bag ever

Perfect work/travel tote. Fits my laptop, waterbottle and lunch for work. Love the compartment in the front. I wish there was one more compartment on the inside.

I absolutely love this bag! I was looking for something more casual that didn’t scream ‘camera bag,’ and this fit the bill perfectly. I added an insert, and it’s been working out great. Highly recommend it for anyone has similar ideas and this is stylish yet functional option!

Fair product. I use this for college courses as a music student. I have a 19” MacBook and though it fits it would have been nice to have a slightly larger opening. The bag is cool, there’s storage for my pencils books and a charger. If you are a photographer than this isn’t the bag for you. Maybe a compact point and shoot or something but I am primarily a slr guy and the big lenses just don’t have the same structure as my Lowepro bags. But besides that, it’s a good weekend travel bag or tote bag!

Such a cute bag! Can hold so much, but the fabric does collect a lot of hair and such. But, extremely useful bag!

I wasn’t expecting to like the tote this much, but it’s been great! Its very nice and roomy with thoughtful design quirks on the inside. I paired it with a medium pouch which I clipped on the inside- works great as an additional pocket.
Qualitatively it’s solid and feels well built. I carry heavy loads in it- laptop, books, iPad. A change of clothes, water and it takes it like a champ!
I think a mid size option would be great too if they ever made on.

I love it! I use it daily! Works great with the Macbook Pro 16inch & fits all things you need for a day or two!

I don’t usually use this bag for camera gear, 90% of the time it’s filled with art supplies or whatever I need for my classes. I think it’s less of a camera bag and more of a regular lifestyle bag. The elastic water bottle sleeve is wonderful as it can fit my large 32oz bottle. My only real gripe is the material used on the outside. Yes it feels super durable but it picks up dust, hair, fuzzies, etc. Since I take it to class I typically leave it on the floor, which means it collects all sorts of floor gremlins. The cream color doesn’t help with hiding any of that stuff as well. At least the bottom is a dark color so the dirtiest part does hide some of the grime. This is sort of a non-issue but something to be noted, the dye in the straps has rubbed off onto the top of the bag. It isn’t very noticeable and it doesn’t bother me, but I thought I’d mention it anyways.

This is a great tote bag, however the straps are of a very soft material which frays easily. In fact, a few threads were already frayed when the bag arrived.

The bag is beautiful but it will attract every possible hair and dust particle from everywhere all the time. It will stain easily and it is surface clean only. I had it one day and barely put it down and it was stained. I don't mind a bag with character that gets beat up. This thing got gross. The main outside fabric is the problem. It is porous and rough. The roughness: Every stray human or pet hair will stick to it. Even piece of fuzz that won't stick to a brand new un-washed black t-shirt sticks to this thing. It's like having one of those red fabric lint brushes but no matter which direction you swipe, it gathers everything it touches. It's porousness: stains get inside the fabric and are very hard to get out and it soaks up stains instead of repelling them. I'm sad. I love the look and utility of this thing but I don't use it cause it ends up getting gross immediately. It's easy to write this off because of its style and functionality but you've been warned. Slight complaint: the adjustable straps are great from going from shoulder to hand held but for my height of 6 feet they are a few inches short of where I would want them at their longest. My ideal shoulder length straps on a tote would allow me to rest my arm on it at 90 degrees. Just short enough to not be ideal. It's a shame. I've been looking for a perfect tote for years and this was almost there but the outside fabric choice ruined it. If they changed that and added 2 inches to the strap length adjustment it would be the last bag I ever needed. as is.. I scrubbed and lint brushed until I could get it as close to its original condition but I won't take it out anymore cause it gets gross immediately and I don't want to clean a bag every time I use it.. So it is now just a museum piece. (I used it on a 2 week tour everyday. Tens of miles walking, hundreds of miles in vans, thousands of miles in airplanes. I gave it a chance.)
