My high schooler got this for school this year. While it's only a few weeks into the year, it seems to be a sturdy enough bag. It's not huge, but it will hold her folders and a couple of books and other things. She refuses a wheeled bag (simply not cool enough)so I prefer a slightly smaller bag so everything isn't packed onto her back. So far, it works just great, and she really loves the look. And she says it's comfortable. So there you go.

Saw lots of complaints it looks cheap. I disagree (and I'm a pretty high end shopper when it comes to clothing). No, not real leather, but who cares. It looks nice. Looks just like the photos. If ya like the photo, you'll like the bag.
