Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I LOVE THIS BAG SO MUCH. I tend to be a bag snob. I really hate having to switch bags all the time, and I also have a really hard time finding one that can do what I want it to do: Look nice, not be too bulky, have room for everything I need. If it’s big enough to fit my laptop, then either it’s a messenger bag that kills my neck and back, or it’s a big ugly backpack that I couldn’t take to professional meetings. Then trying to put the random stuff I need throughout the day – lunch, change of shoes, my kids toys – just becomes a hassle. Heaven forbid I try to find one that will also work as a personal item on a flight. This bag, though - this bag does it all. I first ordered the smaller bag, hoping that my laptop and leather folder (both were small enough to fit, according to the website description). Unfortunately, my laptop just barely fit, and I couldn't fit the leather folder in. But everything else fit, and fit really well. I love how the bag opens up on top and you can see everything, straight from the beginning. No digging, no shuffling, no unzipping multiple pockets looking for what you need, no flaps hanging over and getting in your way. Beautiful. But the smaller bag was just too small to be comfortable, and I was concerned that the larger bag would be too big and bulky. That’s usually the problem. But I took a risk and ordered it. When it arrived, I hadn’t mailed the smaller one yet, and I compared the two directly. Visually, you can’t easily tell one is larger than the other: you have to really look. I decided to take pictures of the two bags, side by side. In all of the pictures, the smaller one is on the left, the larger one on the right. I also took pictures comparing how my stuff looks in both bags. You can tell that, even though the bag doesn’t look any bigger on the outside, it feels a lot bigger on the inside. It’s the friggin Tardis of bags! I love everything about this bag. I ordered an after-market chest strap to go with it (as I do a lot of biking and wanted extra support), and I probably won’t use the special charging cable (I just keep my phone inside my bag if I'm charging it), but literally everything else is gold. I sincerely hope they never stop making it so that I can keep buying it year after year. #PleaseDontStop #ILoveThisBag #DontMakeThingsHarderForUs
