MactsoVintage Canvas Satchel Messenger Bag for Men Women,Travel Shoulder bag 13.5" Laptop Bags Bookbag (Coffee)

I recently upgraded my iPad Pro from an 11in to a 13in. As a result of this upgrade, I could no longer carry it with me in my go to Peak Design sling bag that I use too carry my camera when I am out and about. I wanted something that was as small as possible that could fit my iPad and 1-2 spare lenses comfortably. The large front pockets on this are the perfect size for large Prime and Zoom lenses which was ultimately the reason why I picked this up. The only added accessory I added to make this work for my uses case was a Peak Design quick release plate on the strap.The other day I took this out to DC for the cherry blossom festival with all the gear in the included picture and this bag handled everything I wanted comfortably. Usually when lugging around lenses in bags not designed for them it feels like I am awkwardly overstuffing the bag. This bag felt like I had plenty of room to spare. One of the front pockets I used for a powerful charging brick and cable. The other packet was dedicated to whichever lens I was not currently using. I also tested a standard Moleskine sketchbook and a 2nd Gen iPad Mini in those pockets as well with no issues. The outside front zipper pocket was left empty. The back zipper pocket comfortably fit my IEMs and Bluetooth DAC/AMP. The interior zipper pocket can fit 4 spare batteries comfortably and a wireless camera remote. If you are using an iPad Pro 13in with the Magic Keyboard, then the zipper wont close with the Apple Pencil attached and barely fits if you remove the pencil. A 13in MacBook Pro fits very comfortably in the main pocket. Be aware that there is no protective lining in the bag or extra compartments. This makes the bag far more flexible than similar sized laptop bags and slightly less bulky at the risk of scratching your device. I have leather skins on my devices so I see that as a non issue for my usecase.The Peak Design clip on the strap did not feel like it hindered my movement more then my usually method of wearing it on my belt. It was easy to remove when wearing the bag over one shoulder. I did not test the comfort on my far shoulder around my neck.I like the material it is made of, though only time will tell if the stitches will hold up. The affordable price point along with the flimsy feeling main zipper does make me question the longevity of this product. The strap is very simple so upgrading it to something with padding may be worthwhile if you plan on using this everyday. I also dont care for how this bag can collapse in on itself when it is empty or does not have a laptop/iPad inside giving it structure. It looks a little tacky when it crumbles up. The only support it has is in its base. This bag is not water resistant which is understandable at the price point. That being said, none of these cons are deal breakers for me.Overall, I do think this will be my travel camera bag at least until I can afford to justify getting a modern iPad mini to fit in my Peak Design sling. Even then, I do see my self continuing to use this bag as its way slimmer than my laptop sling and peak design bag. It’s small size and lack off supporting material makes it easy to stuff in a larger bag when on trips so I have the flexibility to break my gear up into just the essentials.

Siim and lightweight, but very sturdy. I can cram a lot of stuff into it if I need to. We'll see how long it lasts, but honestly, it seems quite well made to me.

Pros:I love the style of the bag and it will hold most anything that you need to carry for the day. I am able to carry my 13" MacBook Air when I need to, but it does take up a lot of space in the bag. I carry my iPad with me most of the time and it fits fine. The style is wonderful. I added some velcro on the front for morale patches and stuff. The strap is long enough for me to carry it cross body, and I am a big guy. I have to adjust it down if I am carrying over a single shoulder. It is perfect for a man purse for everyday use.Cons:There were some missed opportunities with this bag. The front pocket on the flap only goes about 4" deep. The only thing I can carry in that pocket is my passport and a pen. It is very shallow. The pocket could have been made the length of the flap to give it some extra space. The pocked on the back side of the bag is even more shallow. It is maybe 3" deep. I can only keep my keys in it. Not even my iPhone (not the big one, the regular sized one) will fit in the back pocket. The same is true for the inside small zippered pocket. I can only fit my wallet in it.Verdict: If one were to ask if I would buy it again, I would say I would. For me the pros outweigh the cons. I love the style and it carries most everything I need for a day. If you need a bag with larger pockets, you may need to look at other options. If you just need a messenger bag or a man purse, this will fit the bill.

My husband loves it. Perfect size for a man bag! Quality is great also.Thank you.

Great bag

I am a "senior citizen" who thought that a bag was for the younger set. I was encouraged by my son to get something like this since he found that it was very useful. I am happy I listened to him. The bag lets me put everything I need for my daily goings-on. I know where everything is, it being so handy, I do not have my pockets full of everything anymore. It looks like a man thing and at the same time something a woman could use. The canvas material looks strong. Only time will tell how durable it is. It does have enough pockets for all your stuff with an adequate-sized one for your cell phone.

A 3-star review almost seems too harsh for this bag, because I actually quite like it. It's stylish, lightweight, and has a ton of pockets. However, its flaws are a bit tough to overlook.For one, its pockets tend to be small and generally flush to the body of the bag. They have fairly low capacity, and anything that isn't slim and flat will create a large, noticeable bulge. I can put my laptop and two notebooks in there for carrying to class, but I can't put my laptop charger in without causing the bag to distend uncomfortably. Since the Velcro attachment points are on the two secondary pockets, it's hard to figure out what they'll accept. Several of the smaller zipper pockets won't even hold a handful of pencils without messing up the entire bag's ability to close.There's no shoulder cushion, so if you carry heavy books or a laptop, it can start to wear down on your neck/shoulder, especially if you walk around a lot. The strap also has a habit of becoming loose as you walk around, forcing you to re-tighten it frequently. Also, since the point of attachment between the strap and the bag isn't anchored down by anything other than a bit of fabric, the buckle will slip around and end up awkwardly sideways no matter how much you try to correct.Overall, however, this bag is alright for what it advertises as: a stylish messenger bag. It's definitely not a replacement for a backpack, even if your backpack is chronically under-filled. But if you're just going down the street with your laptop and a notebook, it's a nice pick.

Sturdy, great looking, good size.
