sidering this purchase, it's likely for the aesthetic, so I'll outline a few shortcomings and you can decide if any of those are a deal breaker for you.

First off, double check those measurements. I did, and I knew what I was getting in for. The bag has essentially zero room for expansion and the added space from rolling up the top is marginal at best. It's effectively a backpack form purse/murse/satchel/whatever-the-current-terminology-is. It fit my 14" laptop nicely. My water bottle went in well, but the little elastic strap to secure it is near impossible to utilize. You can basically fit that and a few essentials. Want to take your sweater off and put it in the bag? Good luck. I have a similarly sized canvas rucksack and it at least lets you bulge it out a bit. This material doesn't give you any wiggle room.

The main drawbacks for me were as follows; the shoulder straps are quite short. I had to let them all the way out to get the bag on comfortably, and then the end of the padded part of the strap was basically in my armpit. Not comfortable. I think the padded section needs to be longer, and the overall shoulder straps could probably use a few inches. It feels like they sized the strap length to the bag, not considering that adults might want to wear it.

Another detractor is that the front pocket is basically a panel sewn on flat. It isn't bulged out at all, so it's kind of awkward to get items into/out of it and anything in the front pocket is effectively eating up space from the main compartment. It maintains the clean, minimal aesthetic, but fails as a serviceable pocket. Maybe better to remove it entirely if you want a streamlined look and don't want to compromise for function.

My last qualm is more of an aesthetic one. You see how the bag is shown with the top nicely rolled? Yeah. It doesn't do that. The material is relatively stiff and plastic-like, so it just flaps down one time when you buckle it down. It doesn't affect functionality, but it looks kind of lame. The top does have a zipper, so there was no concern about objects falling out.

The bag looks cool and seems reasonably well made. If the shortcomings I outlined above don't dissuade you, I think it's a worthwhile buy. Lire moinsRead less about I bought this bag because I'm a fan of
