I ordered this bag in the blue and plaid design and it is alot brighter and colourful in person. At first sight I thought the bag was small.....but boy was I WRONG! I am a graduate student and I purchased this bag for school and was surprised to see that the bag fit a small cardigan, a large binder, a notebook and my pencil case, with pockets inside for a water bottle, and other small items. The front also has a large pocket. Despite it's small appearance, the bag held everything effortlessly without looking bulky and the quality is great since the material is very thick and has padding at the bottom. The straps are also very thick and strong. I expect this bag to last me a very long time and I am pleased with this purchase. Do not hesitate to buy this.
