Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Okay, so here it is I purchased this backpack summer of 2017 (2 years ago now) and through out 2 years of DAILY use this bag is still absolutely killing it. I bought it when I got one of my first ever paychecks as a teen, because I needed something to carry around my stuff but was never a purse kind of girl. I have taken this backpack to Maine, New York City, Florida, and everywhere else I have ever gone every day for two years. In fact, i like it so much last year i bought a second one to use for school. So here is my breakdown; Size: cute and functional. Small enough that it doesn’t feel like you’re dragging around a chunky backpack, but big enough that you can fit every thing you would need in a day to day bag. Things I have fit in this backpack: 2 entire full sized Pringle’s cans, and an entire box of individually packaged ramen, on separate occasions, also 2 20 oz bottles in the main pouch. The side pockets that i assume are for bottles (or miscellaneous) fit a regular water bottle or soda bottle snuggly I have been able to use my school one (of the same size) for small notebooks and entire textbooks without fail Washability: I throw this bag directly in the wash by itself, just like anything else. It cleans nicely and dries on its own within a few hours. Sure, after a few years it’s less than pristine but I am an art major and the color I chose is bright yellow so there is BOUND to be some stainage. I’m sure any other color that’s a bit darker would show absolutely 0 sign of stainage. Organization: the inside of the bag has a computer like pouch, as well as 4 smaller pockets agains the front and back. That’s where i slip thins like my wallet or pads for easy organization. Then, it also has to two side pockets and a front pocket. A HUGE plus is there is a secret zip pocket that sits against your back as you wear it. This is where I keep my wallet while traveling through NYC or somewhere where I am worried of being pick-pocketed. Durability: in two years not so much as a seem on this bag has ripped. The adjustable straps have held up perfectly (also huge points for them being adjustable) and everything has stayed intact. As stated before, i take this bag EVERYWHERE. There is rarely a picture of me without it, and I have tried other bags but none quite serve me as well as this one, so this bag has DEFINITELY taken a beating. I have stuffed it full of things and tossed it around and spilled things all over it and it still stands. Also, it’s waterproof, so even as i have walked home in the rain all of my stuff inside of it is safe and dry. You can feel some slight dampness on the liner inside if you really soak the bag, but for every day wetness this bag holds up. Cuteness: this bag is adorable obviously; exactly like the picture, and i am constantly getting complimented on it. Around 6 months ago i decided to remove the patch on the front of it in a spur of the moment decision and you can see the holes where that was (probably because i just kinda yanked it out with scissors), but i don’t mind that at all. I think the style and variety of colors is so so cute and at some point when i decide to retire this one will definitely buy another one. This post isn’t biased, or sponsored or anything, I was really just staring at this bag a week or so ago and realized I had never reviewed this, as I had originally planned on doing a few weeks into using it. But now I am two years in and if there is any review you should trust it is this one; as I am submitting this super long down the line of owning it, and know from experience. In my opinion, with this bag you get way way more than you pay for, and I can’t ever imagine spending hundreds of dollars on one of those kankens that are trending nowadays when instead i could get multiples of this one for the same price. I hope this seller continues making these backpacks and in more fun color options. Hopefully I’ll figure out how to upload pictures of my bag so you can see in detail
