The perfect work bag

Love how versatile this bag is! This is such an awesome bag! I love that I can wear it as a tote over my shoulder, but when my hands are full, I can easily convert it into a backpack. It holds my work laptop, cords, and everything else I need for work without feeling too cramped. My Hydro Flask also fits perfectly in the side pocket. I love having a bag that gives me the flexibility to carry it different ways depending on what I’m doing. Definitely a great work bag!

Awful

Bag was badly made. Runs, snags, uneven lumpy stitching.As other users have mentioned, does not double as a backpack. One strap was twisted. Sent back. What others say about quality decline seems very true. It looked VERY CHEAP.

straps too short

Liked everything about this bag except the straps when converted to a backpack. They were too short with just a shirt on let alone with a sweater or coat. So disappointed. Im 5'8" / size 14 top, so this may work for a thinner or petite person.

One of the best bags I have owned

LOVE this bag! Nice color. I have one in a gray/white that I use for everything, but it's getting dirty and worn out. I was happy to see that there are more color options. My next buy will be the all black one.
