The bag is as pictured and arrived with no defects.

The front buckle is a fake decoration hiding a magnetic clasp for easier access. The two side pockets are great for water bottles, but also have clasps to secure smaller items. There is a zipper pouch on the front, inside, and on the back. There are two small open pockets on the inside (great for old-school flip phones, chapstick, or hand sanitizer).

I think the size of this is perfect for a travel bag. Hiking backpacks can look silly and huge on me since I'm somewhat petite, or the small girly ones seem out of place in certain situations, I've never been a fan of oversized purses, and it's not so small it looks silly or childish either. Someone could easily have two large textbooks OR two medium binders, and folders, a makeup bag, lunch or snacks, and a phone... so on... I purchased this to use in an airport and non-summer months in nice areas while vacationing. I can fit my HP Spectre laptop in it, two water bottles, a change of clothes (slinky dress or slinky pants tho), makeup, phone, and wallet.

I hope over time it doesn't scuff or have a magnetic snap clasp tear off too soon. But, I really am happy with the quality for the $24 dollar price. For, now, I would recommend it.
