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

Very nice messenger bag!Well made and good value! Roomy with plenty of pockets!Thanks JJ

It looks exactly as it does in pictures, is exactly the right build and size for my needs (books, laptop, heavy water bottle, lol). And it's sturdy. The padded shoulder strap makes carrying it even loaded up much easier than with other bags I've had. And I LOVE the camo patterning and the deepness of the colors. And the velcro holds together nicely--I totaled my car a couple days ago and I had my bag hanging from the passenger side head rest. The only things that came out of the bag, which had been thrown to the passenger side floor, was the water bottle I had in one side pocket and the cough drops I had in the other. The flap of the main bag was still shut and the stuff inside was jostled but fine. (As am I.)An excellent product and one of the best recent buys I've had :-)

A good bag to use when journaling is one that has space to carry important stuff. This bag has two end holding pouches for holding a water bottle or other quick access items. It has a flap front folder cover that is easy to flip over to the back exposing the two lower front holding pouches for quick access to drawing and painting items. The main top pouch is wide and deep to give me access to my 14x10 journal book and other objects like extra separate item pouches of my own materials. The shoulder strap is adjustable to hang the bag near my hip. It isn't waterproof which would have been a plus, but not critical. It has only one small internal zippered pouch for holding important items like keys, phone wallet etc if desired. But otherwise everything is open for quick access. Heavy duty cotton duck material is excellent. All in all a good value.

So far I’ve had this bag for about 6 months and it’s held up nicely. The bag can fit a laptop and 2-4 sketchbooks as well as a couple pencil bags in the main pocket . The two side pockets are good to hold either a water bottle or a small umbrella. The two pockets attached to the main pocket can hold a variety of smaller items like pens or a portable charger. The small inside pocket can also hold various smaller items that might get lost in the bag. Tone of the problems I have with this is the shoulder strap squeaks when I walk and slips down, but it’s not too bad. And the other problem is that the inside of the main pocket and a side pocket, the bottom of the pocket is ripped so smaller items can easily fall into the main pocket. But overall it is a good bag and there aren’t many complaints about it, there’s a pretty decent amount of space and one of the problems i have is probably due to usage.

Came quickly. Is the exact color shown, durable material and plenty of room/pockets. Carries well, comfortable.

I saw this bag in late 2023. I didn't need it but I looked at it several times a week. Finally I ordered this bag in 2024 and it has been one of the handiest bags I have ever owned. If you had a padded sleeve for a laptop it would make a decent computer bag. If this bag speaks to you, even if you don't think you need it, order it and you will be glad you did.

Been using this for a few weeks now and I bought it to use as a portable at studio. I'm gonna keep looking, but this serves the purpose in the meantime.The material is sturdy, the bag is built pretty well, but it's very bare. It has no closures on the pockets, so if the bag tips, expect to be picking up all of its contents from the floor. The velcro closure on the main flap is nice for quick access but does very little to keep the contents secure our to protect against weather.It's very roomy. It can easily fit a couple sketch pads and some art supplies, but it's completely formless. Expect whatever you put in here to bend and expect it to collapse completely if there's nothing inside to give it structure.The padding on the strap is actually very nice, but the strap itself has no swivels not does it have any ability to correct it's direction. Expect to untwist it every time you put it on.Overall, it's just meh. Could be much better, could be worse, too. Good value, good execution. Not the most thoughtful or robust design.

Durable and plenty of room for a Chromebook, text books and note books. Pockets large enough for a 32oz sports bottle. Velcro on the front holds the bag closed well. Happy with my purchase.
