Classic Vintage Messenger Bag - Original Heavyweight Cotton Canvas Shoulder Bag with Upgraded Features

Well made. Sturdy, meaning it stays upright, when on the coutertop to be loaded up. Wide enough for me at the bottom for slightly wider items. Side pocket are big enough, front pockets are perfect. Strap and attachment to bag is strong. Overall, wellmade and user friendly.

Excellent quality, durable, and more than functional. Plenty of space to hold everything you need Plenty of pockets.

Out the box; it’s a good bag for the price! I only give it 4 stars because I was expecting it to be more rigid or thicker canvas like a Carhartt coat, but that is not anyones fault but my own. The canvas is of a medium level durability. Lightweight. It will hold up to city/commuter use, but I wouldn’t necessarily trust it for heavy adventuring/laboring. You might look into another brand or something made of leather if that’s what you’re after. Good bag for casual use at a fair price!

I LOVE this bag. I was surprised at how sturdy it is. I put three full binders, two water bottles, a graphing calculator, a kindle, a bunch of pens, some Tupperware full of almonds, an academic planner, and a small makeup case in it and it handled it like a champ (my back didn't like the load but that's neither here nor there). I have to say that I'm super grateful for the shoulder pad which I didn't think I'd be using. I know a lot of people didn't like the Velcro or the placement of the short handle in the back but both work fine for me. When you have this style of bag you're pretty much going to have the weight distribution problem and just have to compensate for it is all. Maybe I'm just used to that. The Velcro does stick to your clothes if you're not careful sometimes which is usually why I try not to buy bags with it. The shorter handle has been incredibly helpful when getting in and out of my car so I'm happy it's there. And like everyone has said the pockets are perfect and the front pockets fit my old kindle nicely. I don't particularly care for the fabric feel and style but it is sooooo sturdy! Color is as advertised and it is nice and big (obviously considering the load I packed in it) The company sent a few emails as well asking if there was anything they could do for me which was nice, however the wording on the last one kind of felt like badgering me to write a review so just a word of note fellas. At first I didn't want to spend 20$ on a CANVAS bag but I'm not disappointed with this at all and I'm glad i bought it.

Came in a clear bag plastic bag. Bag seems well constructed, canvas is a good weight. Outer side pockets are small, would not contain a water bottle, at best may hold a slender can beverage. Inside of the main area has a small sipper pouch - maybe 5x7. The two outer pockets on the front are of the same canvas as the bag. Despite that, the bag is pretty light and rolls up to a fairly small amount of space. This will store pretty compactly into another bag to carry an even smaller version of your stuff. Only quibble I have is about the velcro strip designed to hold the bag flap down. Its a bit odd, the hook side going across the whole bag flap, but the loop side is sewn perpendicular to the hooks so then only connect at a 1" square space, and isn't the most secure connection. Fine for me as I don't intend to use it for more than carrying around while walking, nothing too vigorous. Will suit my needs very well.

I really like the material of this bag. The canvas feels sturdy and doesn’t look cheap at all. The size is also great—not too big, but still very practical. It easily fits my 13” iPad, my journal, and even a water bottle. Overall, it looks good and works well for everyday use.

Love it

The bag is quite flimsy, so if you are looking for a solid bag that will stand up when empty, this is not the bag for you. When you put stuff in it it is all right. I do give it 3 stars leaning toward 4 stars because it is very roomy and will hold a computer with ease along with the charger. Throw in your phone charger too, and some notebooks as well. Lunch might fit in there too, but that's iffy. I wouldn't buy it again, but my husband would buy it for it's size alone. If you want a roomy, light bag with a hand and shoulder strap (a plus for me), you might want it. There you have it.
