I purchased the black bag as an alternative for carrying my regular messenger bag. Basically I needed a smaller bag for when my back bothers me. I also love using it on the weekends when I don't need to carry work stuff.

With it I can carry a collapsable cane, light weight sweater, Kindle, and drink. I just throw in an extra canvas Trader Joe's bag if I think I will shop.

Love it. The bag is lightweight but sturdy. The adjustable strap allows me easier access for quick opening and closing. Plus I appreciate the metal clasps.

Finally you cannot beat the price.
