Good so Far
Bought this in Japan as an extra hand carry. I filled the bag to its full potential and zippers didn't break. Plan to use this for work commute back home.

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.

Good but could be improved.
I got this bag instead of getting a backpack to use for going to work, running errands, and just general city living stuff. I liked the ability to wear it as a backpack for when you need full use of both hands, and I definitely have found that feature useful. It's a very spacious bag and can hold a lot, but I don't understand why they didn't add any internal pockets for small items? It just seems like a huge miss. There is a laptop sleeve, the large main compartment, and a big zipper pocket that spans the full size of the bag - but no smaller internal zipper pockets for a phone, wallet, change, or just any small item that you might want to keep inside the bag? There is a very small zipper pocket on the outside that could hold a small wallet but nothing on the inside. The other thing is that because the strap that converts to the backpack is untethered, if you happen to grab only that strap, or if you have the back on your shoulder and are trying to go through it, the entire bag will sink down and depending on what you have in there some of the contents could fall out. I think the backpack convertible is a great feature so maybe if there was some way to lock the buckle so that the bag doesn't collapse? Overall it's well made there's just a couple things that are kind of annoying, and don't seem well thought out.

Great tote. You can also use it as a backpack.
Nothing negative about this tote. You can bring everything but the kitchen sink.

Love it so much I got a second one!
Love this bag so much, I bought it in another color. I also have it in green. It's big enough to carry my laptop for work or to use as a gym tote. And I love that it can easily switch to a backpack.
