ALTOSY Fashion Genuine Leather Backpack Purse for Women Shoulder Bag Casual Daypack Medium

Finally! I have purchased any number of backpack purses (after my daughter informed me that "no one uses a purse anymore") and have never found one that worked well for me. But I digress.I have found other leather backpack purses: (1) to be too heavy, (2) to have too few outside pockets and (3) to have outside pockets that are hard to get into even when they are present. I have also purchased any number of nylon backpack purses and found them, in general, to be too small or to look too casual for my intended use.Therefore, I am quite happy (almost delirious) to report that this black leather version (for me) seems to be the ideal solution. The leather is soft and medium weight--which gives it a professional look (vs. nylon for example). There are 3 large external pockets which meet my needs for quick access to: (1) a phone, (2) some cash (yes, I am that old fashioned) and (3) other fast-access essentials (Purell, for example). There are 2 side pockets (the kind you would think of to use for a water bottle. That said, the ones on this bag are pretty small and I don't think ANY water bottle or umbrella would fit. Now that I think of it, I will use one of them for a small bottle of Purell.The interior is roomy and has several internal pockets including one with a zipper. The lining is black fabric (in this case) which looks nice but makes things a little harder to find inside.While the bag is not highly structured, I found it to keep its' shape reasonably well when filled up. I know some have said it is too slouchy--that is probably a matter of taste. This has more structure than almost any nylon bag, for example.The shoulder straps are a combo of leather at the top and soft nylon strap. Very adjustable--work well for me. There is also a strap to turn it into a shoulder bag---it looks good but I do not intend to use that.The only addition I would make is a tether for keys and/or wallet. In this case, I solved for this by sewing a standard keychain "ring" onto the inside. I just clip my carabiner key ring onto the ring and also put a tether or two (I have leftover tethers from other bags).Anyway, this bag seems to offer a professional look (in the black leather) as well as good utility as a true backpack purse. The size is optimal for me--not too large and not too small (and sturdy without being heavy).

Exactly what I've been looking for! Soft, well made, perfect size!Well worth the money! I can't say enough good things about it. Zippers seem great quality, and not too heavy. Amazing everyday bag! I didn't notice any smell.

I really love this bag because it's roomy with plenty of pockets with and without zippers. I get a lot of compliments on this bag. It's a very good price.

I love everything about this purse! I have tried quite a few other brands but finally ordered this one again in a different color than my first one. The first one is still looking good despite being used every single day for the past 2 years.It's roomy enough to fit a 14-inch laptop plus wallet, make up pouch, cell phone, etc. I have no complaints about the zipper quality. Overall I am very happy with this bag 😊

I have only had my purse less than two months and the zipper is broken! For the price I expected lasting quality. The purse is cute and comfortable otherwise

I do like this purse. The color is really nice, the straps are wide, do not cut in, stay put and are easily changed for length. My only hesitation is that the zippers are quite dominant and is the only thing I would change.Because of this the style feels more tough than I would prefer but the reviews of all purses in my price range and overall style preference caused me to buy this one. Let's put it this way; the zippers are a huge feature and very much "in your face." I'm happy I bought it but the zipper aspect will not have me buying this one again when I need another one. If you love blatant zippers, by all means, this is well made and standing up well over time so have at it.

I have had several backpack purses over the last four or five years. I just like them because when you travel it’s convenient to be able to throw it on your back and go through the airport. Doesn’t weigh on your shoulder.This is my favorite backpack purse I’ve ever had. The pockets are great to throw your phone and keys in. I’ve left the main zipper undone on occasion and my purse has fallen onto the floor and nothing falls out because of the way it’s made.The feel of the purse is great. I love that the straps are nylon so that they don’t stretch and tear and the stitching won’t come out. It’s not something I would use to go out, but it’s a great daily purse. It has lots of pockets and they’re all deep and hold everything in really well.I would definitely recommend this purse!

This soft leather bag is very good quality. It’s nice. It did come with a little bit of a smell, but I’m had to air out from the leather, but other than that it’s nice quality and I’m happy with it.
