Crest Design Water Repellent Nylon Large Lightweight Work Travel Tote Handbag School Teacher Bag Fits Up To 17" Laptop (X-Large, Mulberry)

I just received this bag. I replaced my leather backpack with this bag because the smell from the leather was getting to me. The one I just received is large, maybe even huge, but as a student, it meets my needs and I can carry as a shoulder bag. I have a 15.6 laptop that I seldom need to carry, however I want the option to do so, if needed. Books can fit into the laptop area as well. I'm still deciding if I need a purse insert but will make my decision in the next week or so. The black color is great and I hope that the bag holds up, which it seems to be well designed for the price especially. For sure, with this bag, I only need to carry one bag as opposed to two. One more thing, there is a zipper to close the bag, which keeps everything from falling out.

I've used this bag everyday for nearly a year and it has held up really well with no fraying, tears or damage of any kind. It is light to carry, which was the main reason I chose it over others. I use it to carry everything - file folders, books, a smaller purse, lunch and a water bottle and didn't want the bag itself to add extra weight. It's perfect.Update, June 2, 2018. Someone asked about the inside measurements to fit a flute case so I'm adding that information here in case it is helpful to others. The bag is flexible so it's hard to tell the exact width and length inside. The outside seams where the bottom is sewn to the sides are about 6 inches by 15-1/2 to 16 inches, but it gives due to being so flexible. It does not have a stiff bottom nor cardboard insert in the bottom that would constrain the proportions. I was able to easily slide a box measuring 16-3/8 inches long by 3-1/2 inches wide down into the bottom of the bag with room to spare in the width. It would likely accommodate 4 inches wide ( 4 by 16-1/2) but could be tight practically speaking. If your case is less than 16 inches long, it would give you more fabric to accommodate a greater width and if its width is less, the bag would flex to fit a longer case but perhaps not lay flat on the bottom. I see the seller says it's 21 by 7 inches. It would definitely not fit a box measuring 21 by 7 inches. If I press the sides of the bag flat against each other, the fabric might measure 21 inches long (with zero width), but that does not translate to that much space inside. However, a 17 inch laptop would fit fine.

I seriously love this bag. It's one of the best Amazon purchases I've made--and I've made a LOT.I originally got it to use as my personal bag on flights when travelling for work but now I use it every single day as a tote. It's high quality-definitely stands up to rough daily use. Large enough to fit tons of stuff. The pockets inside are nice and the laptop sleeve is great (though it doesn't offer as much protection as a devoted laptop bag). I especially love the pouch for your drink/water bottle. I also like that you can zip the whole thing shut (though I rarely do).The color is spot-on from the product photos (my photos make it look slightly more vibrant).I 100% recommend this and would buy again in a heartbeat.

I am a high school English teacher and pack around lots of stuff: a 15 in laptop and cord, gobs of student papers, a planner, a water bottle, a pencil pouch, etc. I was searching for a bag that would hold it all! This bag is great! It has a roomy padded compartment for my laptop and a separate section for all the papers without their sliding down and getting crushed. My cup fits nicely in the cup pocket. There is room for lots of incidentals as well. The straps are a good length for over-the-shoulder carrying or for carrying by hand. I love that it zips as cross the top. The color is lovely and deep (a teal). The interior is a beige color so it is easy to see inside.

Got the bag for daughter who's in dental school .. she has the 17" computer so it was hard to find a bag big enough .. this one is great .. fits great .. has other pockets that really helps with other stuff .. worth the money .. highly recommend ..

I originally ordered three bags. One Crest Design in Grey and the other two from a different brand. When they came in I immediately return the other two and purchased a second Crest Design in the maroon color for school. I need a dedicated bag for work and a second for school. I love these bags and I received a few compliments on style and durability. I've gone through four bags this year already from other brands!!!

I like this bag. It is almost perfect. It has lots of pockets on the inside for phone, passport, important papers, sweater or jacket. It is stiff enough to stand up straight without crumpling over. The color purple is a nice shade and dark enough to hide dirt. The only thing I would change would be to put the water bottle pocket on the outside for easy access. It is located on the inside close to the end of the zipper. In order to get to the bottle, the zipper has to be all the way open and all other items are then exposed to potential theft.

I love all the compartments but I wish there was an outside pocket to throw my keys and cell in for quick access. Also, anything in the inside pockets flops to the middle of the bag which is annoying when you want to easily place things in and out if the bag. I have to put the bag down push the pockets out of my way to put things in the main compartment. Hard to explain what I mean. I wish those pockets were sturdier or maybe the bottom needs to be wider. Oh and slightly longer straps, when I really have this full it’s uncomfortable to keep on my shoulder it keeps sliding off
