The top zip entry made it super easy and convenient for travel. Side packets convenient for sunglasses, water bottle and frequently accessed items. My only complaint about the bag is that the zip pocket on front of bag only open 1 way, so when it's full and you unzip things tend to want to fall out.This backpack is great! I mostly use it for work. It is so light, huge pockets, even a sneak away pocket on the side of the back. This backpack is worth the deal. I thought it was going to look and feel cheap, but the fabric is durable and the look is simplistic and stylish.Perfect for travel. I loaded this backpack to them brim and no issues during our travels through Italy. It's adorable, just as pictured as well as functional just as the video showed. It was also convenient to strap to my suitcase while waiting. Highly recommend.I was concerned it would be too small but my almost 16 year old daughter says it is bigger than her previous Vera Bradley backpack. I will update later regarding durability.I like this bag because it's beautiful, very durable especially for a college student like me with lots of files, books and laptop to carry to school daily, it fits everything without looking heavy.I wanted a bigger bag than my sling for my day trips and keeping my tablet, notebook, ect. on hand. This morning than fits the bill and would be an excellent carry-on for the savvy economic packer.Use it wvery day and it not only looks nice but is durable and easy to cleanI love this backpack, it is great for traveling, daily work in the office or coffee shop. I love the compartments in the bag that keeps my computer and notepads in place. The way the top unzips and stays open makes it easier to pull things in or out without having to dump the whole bag. Has a strap that holds it to my suit case too! Perfect for someone who is having to take their computer places with them.Love it!! Highly recommend fits everything I need for a full day of school or even a trip it has lots of space and compartments for all my supplies and necessitiesI am so happy with this purchase. I did a lot of Amazon research before picking this bad and it’s perfect. My sister has one like it that she spent way more money on.This bag does not look cheap and has many pockets. You will not be disappointed with this purchase.Great bag. Nice and wide and fits so much! Looks great too!Very practical like the way how it opens up, I haven't used it yet, love the style of it.
