I'm a college student and I fell in love with these little animal backpacks the moment I saw them and bought the fox one. It's true that it doesn't fit standard binders, but it fits my papers, ipad, and notebooks just fine. Personally, I love that it's on the small side because I feel that standard backpacks are just too bulky. The quality is far better than I expected it to be for $20. It is made of red canvas, some beige felt material, and beautiful plaid cloth for the ears. I was worried that the little tails on the zippers would fall apart, but they feel quite sturdy. All in all, this was a fantastic purchase, the shipping was extremely fast, and I am very happy with this purchase. I would recommend this to anyone!
