"I was looking for a versatile, mature travel bag to finally replace the old canvas ones I'd been using ever since I was a kid, and this meets all requirements! It is extremely spacious, to the point that it'd be easy to over-pack and make it too heavy to comfortably carry around, so keep that in mind. I do wish the inner lining was actually adhered to the other layers. As it is, the material - though pretty - billows into the inside of the bag, making it a little claustrophobic and hard to see in there! Once it's packed full, this is less of a problem. I agree with one of the other reviewers that the straps could stand to be a little more comfortable. Other than that, it works very well for me. Wish it came with a label for contact info... the attached swing "label" only displays the brand name. Finally, there were bits of protective plastic film still stuck under the edges of the handle attachments. I was able to remove most of this with tweezers and a bit of work. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase!"
