Isabella Water Repellent Sling Bag

I bought this backpack in black a couple of years ago. It's fairly small as backpacks go, but holds enough personal belongings for my needs, such as a wallet, phone, sunglasses, keys, lipstick, etc. There's even a large thin pocket on the backside that I have used for documents. It doesn't quite fit my iPad, which I do carry with me often when I travel, but I have learned to adapt. My intention in purchasing this backpack was to pack it in my suitcase since it's lightweight and thin, and then when I arrived at my destination, to use it as a purse. It is so lightweight and comfortable that I now use it when I'm not traveling. I use it everyday and even when I go on long walks for a couple of hours or more I take it with me. It's great to have somewhere to put extra things like gloves in cold weather or a very thin jacket. It has a cross strap for carrying, which I find puts much less pressure on my shoulders when walking for a long time, and the strap to snug-up the fit is easy to adjust. The black color goes with everything but I wanted the cream color for variety. I highly recommend this backpack because it is so highly functional. In addition to that I get a lot of compliments on it.
