Canvas Sling Bag - Small Crossbody Backpack Shoulder Casual Daypack Rucksack for Men Women

This little bag is amazing. Sturdy canvas and zippers, lots of pockets, main compartment is roomy. I love that it can be used as a backpack or sling bag for front or back carry. Nice daily carry bag.

The bag is GORGEOUS in every way possible. It is of superior quality - it feels good to wear, the canvas fabric is sturdy (one would be hard pressed to wear it out), the zippers are heavy duty and zip and unzip smoothly, the hardware is metal and heavy duty, the zipper pulls are real leather as claimed as opposed to fabric made to look like leather (a rarity these days), the color I selected was even more beautiful in person, & the aesthetics are outstanding. I should note that the very front pocket (the small one on the front) is not usable for me because the opening, when unzipped, is barely big enough for me to get my hand inside. I can only get my hand in at just the right angle while using more force than I prefer applying to access a pocket in a bag. However, the other pockets and the main compartment are easy to access and organizationally well thought out. The back pocket against the body is, surprisingly, delightfully large (it reaches the full width and height of the back of the bag, as opposed to the small semicircle size the decorative trim and stitching implies) and is a very nice security feature. In addition, the details of the bag are really well thought out. For example, the waterbottle pocket has the option to snap shut when empty, however, actually snapping it shut would have been really difficult if the snap back was on the canvas of the main bag, so they added webbing and put the snap back on the webbing, which allows you to put your thumb behind the snap back, making snapping the pocket shut a breeze. Given all this, you can imagine how sad I am that the overall size of the bag was to small for my purpose. =( I'm returning it. But, if you are looking for a bag of this capacity, it will be hard to beat this one!

Update: I posted my original review right after purchasing this bag in 2019. I came back today to purchase another one, not because the original bag has fallen apart but simply because I’d like it in an additional color. After more than two years, my bag still looks brand new. I’m really hard on bags, so that’s saying a lot. This is my “everything” bag; it comes with me to work, to parties, to concerts, on overseas trips, and into the woods. I’ve stuffed it to the brim with stuff, carried heavy containers of water inside it, tossed it carelessly on the ground wherever I wanted, and dropped it in rivers. Its versatile straps are amazing: zip together for everyday, zip apart for hiking. I can even unhook them and tie them around my waist. In restaurants, I detach a strap, loop it around my chair, and reattach (for security). Even with the abuse I’ve heaped on the bag, it’s in perfect condition (other than losing the pull tab on the rear pocket, which doesn’t matter because the zipper still works fine). I’m astonished by the bad reviews and hope the quality of my new bag will be the same as the old because this is hands-down my favorite bag! Original: I bought this bag as a replacement for my much-loved, but worn out, Ameribag. I prefer a canvas bag, and Ameribag no longer offers them. This bag is just a bit larger than the Ameribag and has a wider strap. I like the size because it can accommodate a good-sized notebook. The bag appears to be sturdy and has nice big zippers. My only gripe is that there's no key clip inside, but I found a loop inside an outside pocket that could serve that purpose if I hook a carabiner to it. I ordered the bag in olive, but it looked almost tan on my computer screen. I'm happy to report that it's a true olive color. A very pretty bag!

If you are looking for something "different" from a typical backpack style bag, this is it. The canvas and hardware are heavy duty. It should last a while. The color was actually a nice soft rosy red. For a SMALL backpack, it can store a lot . Just not school books, etc. I ended up returning for a few reasons: -- too heavy for me for everyday use. Its as heavy as my leather messenger bag purse -- No place to put your expensive car key. It can only be loose either inside one of the 3 big zippered pockets, or put in the very small front/outside zippered pocket ( which is too exposed for me and chance of zipper opening and losing key). If they added a securely sewn in loop to attach key fob too , or an internal small zippered pocket, that would be better. -- yes, has a chemical smell. I am very sensitive to smells. Although not overpowering, it was annoying for me. -- no way could this be used by a woman as a sling style unless you are completely flat or super tiny. Has to be over the shoulder or as a backpack. I can see this working well for a man who just wants a smallish , stylish "rugged" looking bag. Looks outdoorsy, yet stylish.

I ordered the "canvas embroidery-green". I like the dark green edging and the green leaves and I thought the flowers were white or silvery white like the description picture looks, however the flowers are actually baby blue in person. So fyi, if you decide to get this color variation, you will get this blue color. See first two pics. The bag is so nice and heavy duty, I decided to keep it and fix it to my liking. I figured I'd be crafty, so I purchased some good quality fabric paint pens in opaque white, and went over most of the petals with the pen and it turned out quite nice. IMO. The canvas fabric is holding the paint fabulously, like it came this way and it dried quickly because of the canvas material. Last two pics. The zippers are heavy duty and zip well. I like the thick genuine leather zipper pulls too. Nice touch. The compartments are roomy, except the smaller front pocket. It looks big enough, but isn't and won't fit a cell phone, so I will use this little pocket for change and chapstick. Lastly, the backpack straps are a little long on me. They work fine, I just don't like my backpack to hang low on my back, I mostly use this bag crossbody style anyhow and that works perfect. I do wish the water bottle holder was a bit more roomy to fit slightly larger circumference bottles, so I cut off the inside button snap to allow my skinny 26 oz. RTIC water bottle to fit down into the pocket more easily, which worked great. I didn't need the snap anyhow. When I don't have a bottle in it, I throw my keys in the pocket when I'm in the store. Overall, this is a well built bag and comes in so many great colors/patterns. I say GO FOR IT!!!

Great size, versatile, good quality, plenty of pockets to organize. I was on the fence about this purchase, but did some research and it is a good buy. It’s not too large, not too small. It will fit a couple of books, your wallet and other necessary items that you’d want to carry on a daily commute. It has a large and deep pocket in the back that looks to be small because of the size of the zipper, but it’s very deep. The canvas is very durable. The zippers make it where you can use it as a sling or a backpack. I’m pleased with this product!

I purchased two of these bags for a recent trip to Ireland. They were used everyday and it carried everything I needed while having a small footprint and being extremely comfortable. It securely stored my passport and money in the back, very deep pocket. It easily held my packable down jacket, my wireless charger, phone, snacks, and many other misc items. Because of the thoughtful placement and sizes of the different pockets, I could easily pack items that I needed on a regular basis in the pockets with the easiest access. I was also able to tie my scarf around the top of the strap when it got warm, still leaving me hands free (and looked cute too). Thanks to its smaller size, when it began to rain I’d simply pull out my jacket and put in on over the the bag, keeping both me and the bag dry. I did also spray the bags with a waterproofing spray before our trip which helped when it was lightly raining. It did have a little bit of a smell to it when we received the bags (like many items do), which completely dissipated after a day or two of airing outside the packaging. The bags seem a little bit on the heavy side when you first hold them, but because you are receiving a thicker, durable, canvas type material, quality straps, etc, that means it’s going to weight a little bit more. I found that once I had them packed for the day however, that it was never too heavy to carry around. I have zero complaints for the 10 days I spent walking, hiking, shopping, and bus/train riding all over Ireland. It’s a great bag and priced appropriately - matches the quality. Received it quickly. The thought and consideration that has gone into this design is spot on! I received compliments and inquiries as to where I got it, and it truly eased my daily travel. Absolutely recommend!

Cute bag, well made. Bigger than I thought, but thats a good thing. I reduced stars because it's much darker than advertised, so I don't like the way it looks as much. A bit disappointed.
