"I love messenger bags, but it'seems been getting harder to find bags that are stylish that qualify as messenger bags. Now this "shoulder" bag could definitely be just that, but it'seems large enough to wear it cross body style and use as a messenger bag. I love the way it looks and I like the fact that the top flap is also a pocket itself. The only problem I seem to have now is not being able to find all my stuff (which is my problem, not the bag's). I've spilled food on it and the material makes is very easy to just wipe off. And the adjustable strap is made out of some sort of fake leather-ish material, so it feels nicer than just cloth. I would recommend this to anyone who likes larger crossbodies!"
