I absolutely love this bag, it's perfect for what I use it for as a purse just about everything. Originally bought about 8 months ago for a 2 week trip to London. It's not too big but it's perfect to carry everything i would need for a all day out including my travel journal, water bottle, portable charger for my phone and such. I still use it nearly everyday and it's wearing well, I did notice the seam under the top flap on the very top of the backpack is starting to open slightly but it's nothing a heavy duty needle and some thick thread can't fix.
