This Bag is visually very appealing. the fact that it is all white attracts a lot of eyes. it looks very stylish. it gives the look of being modern and rustic at the same time and don't be thrown off by the white, It is all white but i have had it for 3 months now it still is all white. no staining or visible marks whatsoever. And YES i do use it EVERYDAY. not exaggerating. I am currently a full time student with a part time job at a hotel. I take this bag to all my classes and all the way to work. I am not a very careful person by all means. I get clumsy and drop things everywhere. I don't treat this bag like its more important than my life. I put it on the floor. walk in the rain( yes its very waterproof) put all my books and notebooks plus my 15"macbookpro in it. The bag hasn't failed me in any means. Looks great. it has one Big main compartment that fits almost anything. it has a small pocket on the front that can hold miscellaneous paper stuff.. i personally put my checkbook and my cellphone in there(its not safe i know.. blahblaha) and it fits perfectly and also i can easily reach for my phone when it goes off rather than having to sift through a blackhole of a purse. The two pockets in on the sides are quite small so i put my thumb drives and erasers in there. and spare coins on the other pocket.

By all means I love this bag. it makes a statement on its own. It looks nice and functions perfectly for me. I have gotten numerous complements with this both in school and at work.

now for CONS: ( it doesnt matter to me. but its worth mentioning for people looking at buying this... its always better to know what to expect rather than expect too much and be disappointed)

-The hardware on this is quite on the cheap side. not that there is a lot, there's only the buckle for the straps and the zippers and magnet clasps. Especially the buckle thingy that holds the straps together... its kinda flimsy feeling and its really thin. it threw me off at first but its been working fine so far so good.

-The entrance to the main compartment is just a scrunch up kinda thing (i don't know the actual term for it.) but that two strap thingie you see hanging in between the buckles thats the only thing closing and opening the bag and there is no extra hardware attached to it so sometimes you have to tie it to actually secure it. ( but i just push it all the way up and secure the two magnet clasps it works for me but it can be a hassle to some people) There is a small compartment within the main compartment and the zipper in there is kinda weak cheap looking but its been holding for me.

-The main compartment is huge. so things can get lost down there... so id suggest refraining from stuffing your little items in the main compartment. IT WILL GET LOST. Also the lining for this is kinda cheap yellow looking material.

*** That being said, Even with all its short comings. I LOVE THIS BAG. Ive tested it and it passed. ^__^ i did get into kinda trouble with the shipping due to the package being supposedly "lost in transit" and it arrived a little late but that was within the hurricane sandy recovering period so i didn't mind.
