OIWAS Messenger Bag for Men, 14 Inch Laptop Crossbody Bags Women Casual Satchel Shoulder Bag College Travel Office Briefcase

Bought this to replace a slightly smaller Timbuktu bag I'd been using for the better part of a decade. It's probably not as waterproof, but it has way more utility. It has tons of different pockets for organization, a few of which have zippers to keep specific items contained. I especially like that there's one smaller zippered pocket on the outside flap for things I want to keep more readily accessible, but I could also choose one of the many pockets just under the main flap as well. I take this thing everywhere, and because of the nice gray color I chose it goes with anything.It's packed full of the essentials, as well as other random things I carry around for one reason or another. Usually it stores:-32oz insulated water bottle-My chosen coffee vessel that day-Keys, wallet-Epipen, ballpoint pen, sharpie, field notes paper pad, small flashlight-Chapstick, ear plugs, eye drops, medications, small container of product I put in my hair, hand fan.-Cell phone charger, battery pack, kindle.-Yoyo, hacky sack (never know when I need to entertain a child or a small group/myself).-Occasionally a glass food container where I keep my lunch.Minus the food container, I have also packed all of the above plus a change of clothes for when I spend the night somewhere, or go to the gym. Or I'll put my laptop and padfolio in there for errands or meetings. I don't work in business, but I feel like this would work great for someone who does. It stores all of this quite comfortably, I haven't yet loaded it to its full capacity where I'd have to lengthen the buckle straps to keep it closed and secure. I also like that it has a carrying handle on top that is out of the way until I need to grab it, like when grabbing it from the passenger seat when I get out of my car before I put the shoulder strap on.I like that it has two vertical cup holder type pockets on either side inside the bag. I usually lay my big insulated water bottle flat on the bottom, and my coffee mug in one of those pockets. I've had issues with a few leaking in the past. I think one could fit the big water bottle, but I prefer its weight distributed along the bottom. I could probably fit a small umbrella into the other one if I wanted. One time I didn't thread the cover of my water bottle on correctly and it leaked inside the bag. I was able to pour most of the water out (so it does seem somewhat water proof) and the bag dried out within half a day.If I were to improve this bag, I wouldn't mind if it had a little more structure to it. My old bag was of a heavier waterproof vinyl fabric, this one can buckle a little in the middle at times. Not a big deal. I'd also like some loops to keep my pens and flashlight in place and right side up inside one of the pockets, but this is also a small gripe and one I might just fix myself with a little sewing and a strip of elastic.Overall I am extremely happy with my purchase, and would recommend this bag to anyone. The build quality is good and I imagine I will be able to use this bag for many years to come.

This is the right size for me to carry my choir folders with music up to our church loft, with a few extra items!The spaces that were intended for water bottles were too small for mine, but I was able to find a ziplock bag big enough to fit my plastic bottle with a spill-proof lid on its side in a pocket separate from the music!I picked this color because it coordinates with other things I wear! I was using it to also replace my purse, but found it too easy to forget items in one or the other, so I will still be taking my purse with me.For those who either don't need a purse, or don't carry as many items as I do, this could be perfect item to hold everything!It has at least 2 zippered pockets, as well as the ones that don't need it.The flap automatically holds down with velcro, but there are plastic buckles that hold it closed when necessary.Overall, this is a very versatile and strongly-built messenger bag!

I got this bag as it beautifully fits 13" and 14" laptops without the extra space of larger bags. I wanted something that'd tightly fit my work laptop and my thin and light and this bag functions wonderfully for that. It will hold larger laptops if you use the main compartment and let it puff out a little. I've used it as my work bag for about 18 months as well as when I want to work at a coffee shop.Pros-Good value: Considering it's $25 or so, it's entirely fine for that-Thoughtful compartments: The layout of the internal and cover compartments is perfectly adequate. The internal elastic pocket catches easily on laptops which is bothersome.-Nice colors: A lot of bags are quite drab or lose their color, this one hasn't-Reflective highlights: The reflective bits are still reflective after 18 months which I appreciate as I'm often using it as a messenger bag.-Great strap: The strap, the slide that adjusts its length, and the shoulder pad on it have shown no wear.Cons:-It is in no way waterproof and barely water resistant. I can no longer use this bag in anything beyond the lightest drizzle. I don't know if it's a coating that's come off or what but I discovered to my horror after biking in the rain that all of the internal compartments were wet to the point of water beading on my laptop.-The stitching has started to come undone on the corners. The exterior corners of the bag have started to come undone.-The stitching holding the shoulder strap on is starting to fail. This feels like a "it'll fail slowly until it fails suddenly" kind of thing.

This product exceeded my expectations. Beautiful purple color, multiple compartments, spot for a water bottle inside. Have used it heavily for work a couple of months now and no signs of wear and tear. Velcro keeps the flap sealed, and the two toggles keep the bag securely shut. My only regret is I wish I would have found this bag sooner.

I love this bag! I use it every day. It's durable, waterproof and stylish. The bag has a lot of room, however the front pocket on the outside is not very practical. The pocket slants and makes it difficult to put items in. I would buy this brand again and maybe look for a bag with a different front zipper pocket. 👍👍

This bag is an excellent size to use in place of a backpack. Plenty of space for a laptop and some books. I was also pleased to see the color of the purple bag was true to the pictures and just what I was hoping for.

Bought this bag for my daughter who is in high school. She absolutely loves it. It is made from a great material and has so many pockets. It holds her laptop nicely and additional books. And it looks super cute. And stylish of course. I highly recommend this bag for anyone and everyone.

What a well made simply, GREAT bag. It is not just a black hole full of your stuff it is very organized with many pockets/compartments. Very well made seams and sturdy fabric-a STEAL for the price.Oh and it comes in purple! What more can I say.

Really happy with the design. It has a ton of pockets so you can organize properly.Great quality, even if I have overloaded a couple of times it's resisting the pull and tears

Tienen un bonito diseño y es bastante amplia por dentro para su tamaño.Si estás buscando algo útil, práctico y que se vea bonita, está es la opción.Se siente de buena calidad y se ve mejor que otras mochilas más caras.

muito resistente e bonita. Minha preferida. Meu unico problema é com a falta de acolchoamento na parte de baixo da abertura para notebook. isso faz diferença.

Der obere Kunstoff an der Tasche reißt ein, und das nicht mal nach zwei Monaten Tragezeit (kein Laptop oder ähnliches darin gehabt, nur Wasser, Brote für den Job). Absolut keine Kaufempfehlung. Die Qualität fast aller Produkte nimmt immer mehr ab, schön Gruß an die Umwelt.

The bag is good, but for me, it is only 3 stars since there is no zipper for the wide mouth of the bag. Whenever we put a lot of stuff in the bag, it potentially slips out. Other products always install a zipper to ensure that items inserted in the bag stay in place.
