Goodhan Women Canvas Backpack Daypack Casual Shoulder Bag, Vintage Heavy-duty Anti-theft Travel Backpack

I ordered this bag on a Sunday and received it less than 24 hours later in great packaging that didn't waste a lot of plastic or paper.The canvas is thick, sturdy, and high quality with a nice rich colour, and the lining is surprisingly heavy too, and feels pretty nice, not thin and flimsy and cheap. The metal rings are sturdy and heavy. The straps are also high quality and good thick fabric.Even though all the cloth materials are thick and durable, they're also very soft and pliable without being mushy. Nothing about this bag is cheap.The inside has two open pockets on the front (behind the design), a zippered pocket on the back, then a standalone zippered pocket in front of that attached to the bottom of the bag which makes a separate sort of pouch between the back of the bag and the second zippered pocket. This helps to keep much better organization in what is essentially a canvas pouch. It's a really good design.The bag also has another zippered pocket in back on the outside, which will rest against your body when you wear the bag so it's very secure. It's not a bad size, either, though I'm not sure it'll fit the larger mobile phablets.The closure of this bag is very clever and for a bag that remains open on top, it's very secure. There are two heavy-duty snaps on either side. You tuck in the edges of the bag and snap them tight, then you tug up the straps, which will tighten across the top and back through the metal rings, cinching the bag closed very securely. For someone to be able to get a hand in and out at all would be extremely difficult; for someone to do it without your noticing is something I don't believe the even the finest Oliver Twists of Paris or Rome could achieve. I will have no fear at all wearing this bag all over my hometown of NYC.The one thing I wish is that the straps were colour-coordinated to the bag itself instead of being exactly the same on every bag. The weird grey-brown colour doesn't match at all, and what's worse, brown is one of my least favourite colours. The inner lining is a rich brown, but that's inside and I don't really have to look at it. But the terrible strap brown colour clashes with most of the colours this bag comes in and it's unflattering, though very soft and of high-quality material. It's like they got a deal on a huge quantity of the strapping and just put it on every bag the company makes. It's a shame. If this bag had a strap that matched it would be pretty much a perfect bag. And since it's purely cosmetic, that's a great flaw to have if that's the only one I can name! Maybe I'll be able to replace or dye or paint the strap.In the meantime, even that ugly brown won't stop me from wearing this bag. I love it and I am thinking of buying another one in purple or blue - I can't decide.Totally worth the money. I'm dealing with a chronic condition that causes me a lot of body pain and fatigue, often without warning. I need a good bag, roomy but not huge, that I can sling over my back so I have my hands free, but which wouldn't be bulky or uncomfortable to carry. This fits everything on my list. And it's a beautiful bag!If you saw this bag and went, like I did, "Oh, that's a GREAT bag!" then you won't be sorry. Buy it.

I used this bag last year on my trip to Cleveland to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and it was PERFECT!! I ordered the grey/black color & it’s a very dark charcoal grey so it’s a good neutral color. I wanted something small but large enough to carry my essentials, since I didn’t get back to the hotel until early evening. I was even able to store it under the seat in front of me on the flight for easy access & you didn’t even realize it was there. I was able to carry my cellphone, a battery pack, a light sweater and my medicine in small bottles & I didn’t feel weighed down at all. The multiple pockets are great to keep you organized but the pocket that’s against your back is VERY TINY- so I used it for things that I wouldn’t need very often (such as some personal products). I kept my wallet on the INSIDE so I knew that it was safe and not have a risk of being stolen. The bag is very secure and I felt very comfortable using it. I may possibly order another color in the future.

This is awesome. I’m always leery of ordering handbag items online but this was a big win. I love the material, I love the design, the pockets. You won’t be disappointed with this one.

This backpack was exactly the size I wanted and is super durable and cute; however, I do not like the anti-theft right that holds the two straps together on top. Yes, it keeps people from being able to sneak into your bag while you’re wearing it, but it also keeps me from being able to get into it quickly. It also keeps the straps forward, so when you go to grab a strap and sling it over your shoulder, you first have to move it back toward the back. It doesn’t help the the bottom of the straps are connected to the sides of the bag on similar rings that cause the straps to stay forward. I do love all the colors and the value is great for this well made bag. I just wish the design were a little more functional.
