i had a medium size version of this bag for years and years, carried it every day. still looks as good as the day I got it but I needed a slightly larger bag for my laptop these days. I got this one and they've made several improvements, like they fixed everything that bugged me about the old bag. The straps were adjustable on the old bag, so they hung down and flapped around and it drove me up a wall! current version has eliminated that problem and it looks incredible :) can't go wrong with this one
