I bought this backpack for a Europe trip, and it’s the perfect day bag. It’s not too big, it’s comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and it has plenty of pockets to help organize.I was in the market for a black mini-backpack and came across this one after looking at about 20 other options on amazon and other sites. The multitude of internal and external compartments keep my things organized, the zippers don't jam, the size is just right and holds quite a few mid-sized items, and most of all, it's sturdy and easy to clean. Also, the price is right! I have used it daily and only have resorted to changing to another purse for a night out. I even take it to the gym on occasion. Despite this all, it is in excellent shape.The only slight drawback is that the straps are not padded. I would say that unless you are carrying rocks or have sensitive shoulders, padded straps are not required, because chances are the clothes you are wearing will provide decent cushion and you won't be lugging heavy weight around on a regular basis (but to each their own).I love this little pack! It’s the perfect size, and the back pocket keeps my wallet safe. I have something similar but slightly more refined looking for everyday use. I use this one mainly for short day hikes and traveling, or if I ever need more room than what’s available in my other one. I carry a 1L platypus soft water bottle, small first aid kit, collapsible dog water bowl, sunglasses, a mini folding sitting mat, an extra layer, and various odds and ends inside of this bag. It can get a little heavy, but is surely still within the weight capacity. My only complaint, hence 4 stars instead of 5, is that I wish the straps were very lightly padded. Not enough to be bulky... but just enough to provide a bit more comfort when the pack has some weight in it, because the raw nylon strapping can chafe after awhile. Maybe just the top 12-15” or so (whatever portion of the strap that goes over the average woman’s shoulders), I’m kinda brainstorming a way to do this myself... I’d love that!!Absolutely love this backpack! It's small but holds what I need it to. I have only had it get a little wet in a light rain but I can tell the fabric would be water proof in a heavier rain. The pockets on the side aren't too big but can hold smaller things you would mind losing, I got a caribbeaner to keep my waterbottle from falling out. I got the darker purple backpack since other people were saying the lighter one looked more gray. I'm very happy with the color, not too bright.Loved the color, didn't like the design. The straps at the front caused the bag to compress and didn't look good.It came very quickly, and is such an adorable bag. If you’re looking for a small bag that can carry a lot, this is for you. I go out a lot and the zippers are easy and it’s an over all comfortable bag<3I very rarely write reviews but I really like this backpack so much that I had to. I use mine as a small diaper bag for my son who is 10 months, this thing fits so much stuff inside. I like that it has do many little pockets.Perfect! I had/ have the small jansport one, I've been having that for 2 yrs but it was a little too small. I've been looking for one but didn't want to pay a high price. I'm very picky when it comes to buying things, I HAVE to read the reviews (any item or places I go) & this one was perfect. It has such great quality as well. I love the many storage spaces too
