A prior review said this bag was great for teachers. They were right! I started using this bag at the beginning of the school year.
I upgraded to this bag from a backpack and prior to that, a leather tote. No more digging things out from the mystery depths at the bottom of the bag. Everything is organized into pockets this bag has in abundance. My personal items fit neatly in the outside zipper pocket. The items I need for different classes I am asked to teach all fit inside with room to spare. Notebooks, laptop, charger, school resource folder, dry erase markers, pencil box, and hall passes all have a place.
I wasn’t a fan of the short straps when I initially looked at this bag, thinking they would get in way. My mind was quickly changed. They are the perfect length for holding onto when I get in and out the car. My leather tote straps always slipped off or dug into my shoulder, these don’t, and the light padding is very comfortable. I use the long strap crossbody while traversing busy hallways and stairways.
My two tweaks to this bag would be to have a slightly larger exterior water bottle holder and more colors to chose from.
