"I recently purchased this bag for daily use. It has plenty of space for all my things, including books, diary, etc. The leather is soft and wears well. I've been using it for about two months and the bottom has what feels like a thick plastic base. This has cracked in a few places but i'm hoping it still maintains its shape. Also the seal on the edge of the leather is coming off so its just raw leather. I'm sure it'll be fine. Overall a great every day bag."
