"I never write reviews, but when I came across my bag while browsing, I had to give it a rating! I received this bag in Fall of 2013 and it has been my everyday bag ever since. It took me forever to find a cute bag with outside zip pockets, but this is it! It has no signs of wear after 8 months of daily use. Holds my everyday essentials, and has held my iPad and a water bottle too without looking overstuffed. Mine is a mustard yellow, and does not look like faux leather. I see it's still available, so it must be doing something right!"
