Ok Ladies love love this backpack, very high quality for the money, the odd smell of the pebbled leather bag that most are complaining about is from their dying & sealing process of the pebbled leather but if you hav a good sniffer you can still smell the actual leather. I worked with leather for many years and these bags are definitely pebble leather.. The light blue color is such a cute summer color I love it. Interior is perfect two slide pockets, one side zipper and a center divider zipper. Best part is I love the outside zipper pocket for my cell phone.. The only thing I would say is when you use it as as a shoulder bag the 1/2 satin 1/2 leather strap stands out which kinda makes it look a little cheap.. So for me “I would pay a little extra to have the leather on both sides of the straps.” Other than that love the bag, won’t be using this with the should strap so this works for me. As for the backpack being to tight at the top to get anything in it, just un-snap the snaps simple as that once you close the zipper all is good.. Great backpack absolutely love it.. Super cute!!!Well made. Nice visually.Bought this almost two years ago and have been using it daily ever since. The convertible straps are very convenient - no need to unclip anything. The straps slide effortlessly from purse to backpack in seconds. The leather shows no sign of wear even after all this time. It’s the perfect size for daily use. I also love to travel with this. Although I do wish they had a version that was a touch bigger for travelling. This bag is a great value and I highly recommend it!This bag is just awesome! Costs less than a designer bag yet the leather is real and the bag is sturdy. Perfect for shopping hands free! Worth every penny! I plan to also purchase it in black.--If this review helped you, please click "helpful"--UPDATED REVIEW after 3 months of use and a trip: (FYI - It lost a star)I want to love this bag so much more than I do. It's perfect except for a few things. The hidden pocket that rests against your back (to put your cell phone in for easy access) is up way too high to reach in constantly. I usually prefer when it's on the side of my backpacks or at the bottom so I can easily access it. It's literally like reaching around to scratch when your bra strap goes across...every.single.time.you.need.your.phone. Which obviously gets annoying so I just end up holding my phone. Also, the strap is one continuous strap, which seems convenient, right? Well...yes and no. There is not a thicker handle for the middle to keep the middle in place. That means that the "middle" will be on one side or the other causing the straps to be super uneven. Sounds like a simple fix, right? That's what I thought too, but NOPE! It's harder than it looks to even out the straps and I'm walking around constantly messing with it between my phone and the straps. I've even thought about taking it to a leather worker to have it fixed.Original Review:I received this product and was SO HAPPY!I was looking for a leather convertible backspace and ordered this with the intent that I was probably going to return it but heck NO I am keeping this! We travel semi-frequently and I was looking for something big enough to use in the airport as a purse and backpack depending on the carry on I chose to bring on the trip. I am 5’5” with a 32DDD chest and was skeptical about being able to use it as a cross body but I can and it looks cute!I will be purchasing this in other colors!I just received this bag, and really like it so far. It fits my 13" Macbook Air and a legal pad with enough room for a phone and wallet, too. I didn't try, but there seemed to be enough room for my charger as well. If you want a bag that carries everything, this is not the bag for you! But, I wanted something that was smaller and that could just carry the essentials. I rarely need anything besides my laptop and a pad of paper, so having so much extra space in my bag seems kind of pointless. I had bought a larger backpack, only to decide that it was much too large for my frame once it arrived.The leather is thick and the bag seems to be well-made. To be honest, for the price, I'm surprised at the quality. It seems nice. I haven't had a chance to use the bag yet, though, so I haven't seen how it holds up.That being said, the leather is a little stiff. It's not a big deal, though. I'm sure it will become softer, and I'm thinking of buying some leather conditioner to keep it nice.One thing I love about this bag is that it can turn into a shoulder bag or cross body bag. It's actually super easy to switch, you just pull the straps up or down to make it into a backpack or shoulder purse.I'm planning on using this on two upcoming professional trips (one overseas) and then on vacation (three cities), so I'll try to update once I've seen how the bag stands up to the travel. I am looking forward to using it as a backpack on my trip. It has a zipper under the flap, an inside zipper, and a hidden zipper on the part that goes on your back, so I feel that it is very secure to carry around even in areas with pick pockets.UPDATE: I added a fifth star. It' snow been about 4 months that I've used this bag, including on several trips. It works well. It's not huge, so I can't fit much more besides my laptop, charger, and essentials, but it really pulls it's weight. It looks fantastic and it has held up really well. No damage or visible wear and tear yet. The leather still looks great. I highly recommend tis bag.This is made with extremely high quality, the stitching is perfect and sturdy. The interior is roomy enough to fit my big wallet, sunglasses case, phone, and additional items with ease. The backpack straps pull up to make it a shoulder strap so you have the option of wearing it as either a backpack or a shoulder bag, I've used it both ways and it is extremely convenient and quite comfortable. I get a lot of compliments on it and am so happy to have found my perfect fall/winter purse to keep me hands free when I need it. The backpack is also nice to distribute the weight evenly as opposed to carrying a shoulder bag which was causing shoulder and back pain.This was my favourite Amazon purchase EVER immediately out of the box. I didn't expect the level of quality for something on Amazon. It is also the exact convertible purse/backpack design I had been looking for everywhere. I bought this as a professional backpack for work and for travel and after a couple weeks and a trip it was amazing.Magnifique sac. La qualité du cuir est exceptionnelle et comparable aux très grande marques. La qualité de la confection est aussi remarquable. les fermeture éclaires sont solides. Il est divisé en deux sections. J'ai régulièrement dans mon sac : deux paires de lunettes, un gros porte monnaie et mes deux trousseaux de clé (maison et travail). Les boutons pressions sur les cotés me permettes de le rendre encore plus logeable. Le bouton pression aimanté permet au rabat de rester bien fermé.Dépendant de ce que je fais, je le porte surtout en sac à dos, mais à l’occasion je le porte en bandoulière ou je le tiens par la poignée. C'est un sac versatile dans son utilisation.J'ai beaucoup hésité sur la couleur à choisir. Finalement, j'ai acheté le rouge.et la couleur est brillante et conforme à ce que l'on voit sur le site. Le prochain sera surement le bleu !Le rapport qualité prix est vraiment là.Nice product. It arrived super fast, 24 hours after I placed the order. It looks good and it is well organised inside. Unfortunately the rounded bottom prevents the bag from maintaining an upright position on a flat surface (i.e. a chair or a table). It just falls flat and that was a deal breaker for me. A friend of mine was around when I got it and she liked it; that spared me the return.This is a beautiful leather knapsack. The leather is of good quality, the design is fabulous and their is lots of room. The silk lining is a bonus. This is an elegant knapsack that is a beautiful purse. I highly recommend this one to every woman looking for class and functionally.
