Julian Nylon Backpack

I was in Italy for a week and this backpack was a perfect day-trip travel companion! It was light even when packed and easy to use while looking chic and dressy. I was able to fit a couple guide books, maps, a scarf, camera and small cosmetic bag in the main compartment with room to spare. I kept tissue, lip balm, socks and pens in the side zip compartments. It was comfortable to wear on my back and the straps were easy to adjust if I needed to. For security, I used a safety pin to attach the zipper pull to the top ring of the backpack-a good tip if you choose to keep more valuable items in your backpack (I wore a slim RFID blocking cross-body wallet under my coat) or you could use the back zip pocket for ID, passport, money, etc...The only thing I did not like about this backpack were the decorative leather string pulls so I cut them off! If they had not been stitched on, I would have untied them and kept them in case I wanted to tie them back on. When I got home I washed this in my front load washer in cold water and hung it to dry. It looks perfect! I purchased this in black nylon and would buy it other colors too. I highly recommend this backpack!
