GEARONICMen's Vintage Canvas Satchel College Military Shoulder Messenger Crossbody Bag

I purchased this bag in 2016 -- with a different brand name, but it looks like still the same bag otherwise (still at same amazon product ID), but for the brand patch. (Mine says "Augur").I have been using it since then (7 years!) as basically an everyday as well as travel "purse" (I am a man; I don't think it looks "feminine", but also wouldn't personally be bothered by that if it did; I do like the look it has, sort of a nod to old-style military side bags, to me) -- and I LOVE it.I came here to find the amazon listing again after having a panic attack -- what if I lose this bag, I don't know if I'll be able to find anything else I like as much, I hope it's still for sale, better bookmark it!It is NOT a big bag, but I don't want a big bag it is in fact the perfect size for me. While I _can_ fit my 2021 14" MacBook in the main pocket -- but without being able to zip closed, but I can still close the magnetic strap latch around the 13" MacBook. So it's not really QUITE big enough for that, but you can make do. If I were designing my perfect bag it would be maybe .75" higher to fit that MacBook. You CAN fit a standard US 8.5x11" spiral bound notebook in main compartment -- barely.In general I like the way you can leave unzipped but clasp magnetic closure on top flap to fit in a bit more than you can fit zipped, it feels like an "expansion" feature, although of course its' a bit less secure.But the number of pockets is GREAT. I love those big exterior pouches -- although again if I could change one thing, I would have those (as well as main flap) close with a zipper or even snap instead of the magnetic closures, which just don't feel secure to me -- but ALSO these haven't actually opened and lost anything in all these years of use, so maybe they are fine.The NUMBER of pockets is great for putting different things in different pockets to be able to find them quickly, instead of just a big jumbled bag or purse. i definitely use front and back side zippered pockets, main compartment, and 'pouch' pockets. I do not routinely use the interior extra zippered pocket (but occaisonally use it to put something small and valuable I don't want to lose in). I do not usually use the very very small "edge" pockets that don't have closures; I guess you could put a pen or something in there maybe, I put my pens in one of the "side" zippered pockets.After 7 years of use, it holds up VERY well. The main strap is still very securely attached -- I notice only now for this review a very tiny fray-hole near one side of strap, but it seems in no danger of separating further. No visible fraying anywhere else. I don't really even see any discoloration or wear on the canvas -- although if I did, I think the canvas material would just make it look nicely worn in, but honestly it still looks pretty new.ONE thing has broken -- the zipper handle on the tiny _interior_ pocket-inside-the-main-pocket did break off, making it hard to maneuver. As this pocket isn't very useful to me anyway because of placement, I don't worry about it, but have considered trying to super glue a new pull on. (that pocket goes into the lining in between the main pocket and exterior canvas, in a way that to me makes it not a good place to store anything that isn't very small/thin/light, as it will disrupt main pocket space otherwise.)All other zippers are still functioning properly and smoothly.I use this for "every day carry", not really every day cause I don't roll like that, but whenever I'm going anywhere where I need a 'purse' to carry sundries. I also use it for travel, on an airplane it easily fits under the seat in front (with plenty of room for your feet still) and is sized to fit as a "personal item". For an all-day urban outing in a city where you maybe want to carry a water bottle, a magazine, a notebook or two, some pens, a phone charger (and possibly your phone), etc, with room to put a small purchase or two that you pick up along the way, it's great.If I could change one more thing about it, I might add a d-ring or two inside that you could attach a key ring or random carabiner too. (There ARE a couple heavy canvas loops on one small edge OUTSIDE I have sometimes attached a carabiner to!).So while I can think of fantasy improvements -- in general this bag is just great, and for $25!!! I am considering buying another one right now *just in case* I lose the one I've been using for seven years at a point in the future when this is no longer available!

Perfect for what I need it for :D

Piacevolmente sorpreso! Davvero un buon acquisto. Qualità e materiali davvero buoni, prezzo molto accattivante. Dimensioni perfette (più capiente del classico borsello - più piccola di una borsa classica). Davvero comode le 2 tasche anteriori accessibili senza dover aprire quella centrale. Spedizione come al solito impeccabile. Consiglio vivamente.

This bag is small/medium sized but holds plenty of "stuff" the quality is great as well!

Gr8 little 'take it to work' bag, if it were only 2 inches wider and 2 inches higher, to fit a noraml 14inch laptop, it would be PERFECT . As is it is big enough for my Lenovo Yoga, glasses case, a couple of books, maybe even a bottle of water. Front pockets big enough for power supply & cord on one side, odds & ends on the other. Smart looking bag, The color is just right for a man. It's not a large bag but it is what was advertised size wise. Good solid canvas feel to it. No top handle, but you can carry it EZ by holding it on it's side and holding one strap. One small issue, my LGG5 smart phone didn't fit in the front pocket, upright... but does fit on it's side. The color laptop green is a real dark, mossy green, very masculine.Two days walking around with this tote bag and I love it.
