This is a great looking backpack, but if you're a college student like myself and you need to carry around more than your wallet, pick a different bag. I'm really disappointed that I have to write anything negative about this backpack; it's made of a beautiful material and I have received loads of compliments on it. The problems stem directly from the straps - mine have almost entirely ripped off of the top of the bag and I've only been using it since August. It's a shame really, but this bag cannot handle anything more than extremely light amounts of weight. I bought this backpack with the intention of using it all year, but I'll be asking for something to replace it at Christmas.

Very soft leather-like feel. It actually looks and feels nicer than the real leather one that I wore out, and no stinky leather smell. Very roomy. I wanted a backpack that didn't look like I was going on a hike or to school and this one fits my standards. It is a good value for the price.
