I received the bag within 2 days after ordering it, which was much quicker than I anticipated and also a pleasant surprise. Upon inspecting the bag right out of the packaging which was quite dinged up, I noticed a slight tear in the leather right underneath the buckle, but nothing noticeable (my guess was it occurred during the delivery process).There were also a couple of pull strings in the stitching that I knotted and clipped off---also nothing that couldn't be fixed quickly. I'm quite pleased with the amount of pockets that this bag has -- two on the sides, two on the front, one main pocket, one inside the main pocket, and one on the back. The straps are great as well, especially when you want to switch between using it like a backpack or just slung over one shoulder kind of like a purse. My only concern is the interior material -- it's very cheap-feeling and almost papery to the touch, but shouldn't be much of an issue if you don't stuff this bag to the brim with items. Over all, I love this bag, but I wouldn't recommend it to somebody who is a "heavy bag packer" (i.e. the person who enjoys having a bottomless pit of items in their bags/purses). I'm a light bag carrier and it fits my wallet, keys, hand sanitizer, and a small book or two.
