Great Everyday Purse
I've been using this for past few months now and it has become my regular everyday purse. It carries everything I need, is expandable if I need the extra room, but not too big. I really like the following features - two different straps for shoulder carry or cross-body carry, the magnetic clip when folded over, and all the pockets for organization. I don't use the security features as much yet (zipper lock for the back pocket, and anti-theft wire), but it feels good to know that these features are there if I ever feel the need for them. Overall great design. It's comfortable, functional, and stylish.

Would Not Buy for Serious Hiking
Straps are too narrow and dig into shoulder. Bag water resistance did not suffice against fog on Mount Fuji and bag contents were wet. Zippers require a second hand to hold the bag while opening pockets: Single hand pocket access is not possible so when your hands are full the bag contents will be inaccessible. The bag is durable, a good size for travel and made in tasteful colors. The small waterproof pocket did maintain water tightness in rain. Recommend for use with light waterproof items where hands are free.

Versatile - Good for Travel

Agree with all points in others reviews. This versatile bag folds flat for travel or storage. It holds an amazing amount of items between the main compartment and zippered pockets. It can be used as a personal item for plane travel. The two straps, one long for cross-body or over the shoulder, as well as the short strap, to carry the bag by hand or on your forearm, make this a functional addition to your travel bag or everyday bag collection. When the bag is folded over and snapped, its slim profile is perfect for shopping. The safety/security features are handy for travel. I dinged it one star because it's not water resistant, only the small pocket on the back of the bag is waterproof. In the rain, this bag absorbed water like a cotton towel. I'll spray it with a wayerproofer before using again. I have the rock moss color and bought the Sojourn Pack to go with it. Both bags have become regular-use in my travels for their functional versatility.

Poor quality: multiple seams tore

I really wanted to love this bag, as it's a great size for a travel bag. I like the ability to hold less, with the top folded over, or pack it full with the top upright. It has some useful safety features, liked the option to secure the closed zippers and the wire to connect it to your chair. It's not going to stop a determined thief: the straps and body don't seem to be slash proof, but it might encourage them to choose a slightly easier target. Unfortunately, after not too much use, two seams tore. The first was the part where the magnetic clasp connects to the top of the bag. It was easy to sew back on so I kept using it. Then the side seam tore where the strap attaches. There was also noticable wear (fraying) on the black tabs that the straps attach to. Lastly, this bag collects dirt on the outside and hasn't responded to cleaning. I'm not sure if this material can be Scotch guarded, but it's probably worth a try if you decide to buy it.

Super cute and lots of storage without being bulky

I love how adaptable this purse is! It's super easy to change the straps or expand the main compartment depending on what you need to carry. The inside and pockets have plenty of room for everything I need to carry. The front pocket is perfect for my wallet and phone, and the inside holds everything I might need as a busy mom. And if I need to carry bigger stuff, like my son's tablet or a magazine, it's nice that I can flip up the folding flap and have more room inside. I haven't tried out the chair lock or zipper locks yet, but I imagine they would come in very handy when travelling or eating out, none of which I'm doing at the moment due to the pandemic. Very happy with it, and looking forward to lots of use!

Versatile Bag, Good Looking with Nice Features

Agree with all the points made in other reviews. Versatility of folding the bag in half or opening it fully, depending on what you're carrying, doubles it's usefulness. Plenty of zippered pockets, good security features, adjustable strap for either cross-body or over shoulder wear. I have the moss rock color and loved the pop of color. I marked it down one star due to the bag not being 100% water resistant. Only the small pocket on the side worn close to your body is waterproof. The rest of the bag absorbed water like a cotton towel. I'll try spraying it with a waterproofer before the next trip.

Love this bag and everything it can do!

After a lot of research on a good bag to travel with internationally - I chose this one. And I love it. Pros. The magnetic clasp is awesome and so easy. It folds down so you can keep it compact (or expand should you really need). Love the waterproof pouch which was perfect for all four of my family’s passports. And the key ring makes it stupid easy to find my keys instead of digging. Also, the metal lock to hang it off of your chair is great - comes in handy regularly! Cons. The shoulder strap isn’t kind to bare shoulders. I now use it as my everyday bag. It’s durable, too

Beauty and functionality

Looking for a travel bag that had some style, security, and capacity. Found it! White interior - so I can find things. Extra secure back pocket (next to body) for passport. Magnetic and zippered closure, even included a small cable for attaching to a chair arm. Will be testing it on a 2 month trip, multiple countries.

Perfect travel bag

Great size, completely secure, lots of organizational features, packable, slim profile if not full, but expandable if needed, and waterproof. I've gotten rained on one too many times with a "water resistant" bag and wanted something more. Love, love, love this bag. Wish it came in a smaller size too for when all I need is a phone, keys and credit card.
