I ordered this bag in both the grey and the pink, and I'm returning the grey. The shade of grey is a bit too dull and even dirty-looking. Maybe it's the lighting in my house!

What I love about the bag:
- Spacious & compact at the same time: This is a huge improvement from my messenger bag, as the weight is distributed on both shoulders. The size is perfect for a day trip, tourism, or a walk around town. It holds my 22-oz water bottle, wallet, iPad, Kindle, notebook, and a small umbrella.
- Comfy: The straps are wide and soft, giving great support for day-long use.
- The buckle closure! This sealed the deal for me. I've been looking for a cute drawstring backpack for day trips, and this buckle closure provides the greatest security. This ensures the bag stays closed when you want it to, rather than having the flap flying open like bags with magnetic closures do.
