This bag has quickly become my favorite, replacing my purse for day-to-day use.  I plan on ordering the charcoal while the price is still low.  I purchased the khaki color, which seems to be a little paler or lighter in person than the picture on this website.  I actually like it better than the picture!  This is not the bag to get if you want a huge book bag for a lot of notebooks or textbooks, but you can fit a few spirals or small/thin texts just fine.  Be aware of the bag's dimensions before ordering.

The construction is sound; I have seen no loose or missing stitches in the body of the bag, the pockets, the straps or the velcro.
The strap is long enough for me to wear below my hips/top of my thigh, and I am 5'6" tall.
There are 2 pockets under the flap that are small and velcro closed (one on top of the other) and an open pocket beside them that holds my small day planner (4x6). I fit my Android into one of the front pockets that velcros closed, and mints and gum into the other. I don't use the ID window that is sewn onto the open pocket. I really, really like the assortment of pockets -- they definitely set this bag above most other inexpensive "big open hole" canvas bags.  There is an open area behind the pockets that is the depth and length of the bag, and this is where my receipts and loose paper bits usually end up.  There is also a zippered pocket inside the main compartment.  I haven't found a use for that...yet!

I highly recommend this bag!  It's casual, functional, and economical. :)
