This bag is different from what I'm  used to.  I really like the pockets and even the fabric (will make it very easy to stuff in my checked bag when I fly and just have a backpack to carry on...with my toddler).  I got this in "mushroom" and the picture doesn't show the color very well.  Its a nice color with a slight sheen depending how the light hits it. The picture makes it look flat and ruddy which it is not. It would be nice if the strap were narrower at the shoulder as this would prevent slippage I think-which is does do (and that disappoints me because I was fed up with my dual strap bag for this very reason!  One strap always fell off) and it would be nice if there was a way to sort of "lock" the two "layers" of strap together (since it can be made into a cross-body style-which I absolutely abhore-its sort of doubled over while in the shoulder length).  Since I'm unlikely to ever use it as a cross-body style, I'm thinking of sewing them together.  Overall, its a nice bag.  I do think its overpriced for what it is...but I'll stick with it until something else is found.
