I was skeptical about this bag, but it was a good price and a pretty pattern. Since I really like damask prints and needed a new bag for school/luggage purposes I felt this fit the bill as I often have too much junk I need to take to class.

I assumed that the width was a bit less than advertised, but it's dead on. This bag is VERY roomy on the inside. Also, I'm happy to note that the connectors for the shoulder strap are all metal pieces, no plastic to break with a heavy load. The stitching seems fine, and I carried my heavy books in it yesterday with no problems. My only complaint is that the little flap you can button to keep your handles together is sewn to the handles and cannot be moved. It is right in the middle where you hold on. I feel this might get a tad annoying when using them to carry it and it's heavy.

I'm pleasantly surprised by this purchase, it was just what I needed and if you are looking for a larger bag this will probably do great for an overnight bag or a carry-on.
