Review: Nice bag - Nice bag but the red colour was too garish for me. A good size for fitting loads of things in.
Review: A great bag. - This is a great classic design. Enough pockets to keep your stuff safe away from sneak thieves. It has a long strap so it can be worn cross body for extra security. This is my sixth at least all in different colours and patterns. They can go in the washer too! A quality light weight fabric.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice bag
*by J***C on 13 May 2026*

Nice bag but the red colour was too garish for me. A good size for fitting loads of things in.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great bag.
*by M***E on 6 September 2025*

This is a great classic design. Enough pockets to keep your stuff safe away from sneak thieves. It has a long strap so it can be worn cross body for extra security. This is my sixth at least all in different colours and patterns. They can go in the washer too! A quality light weight fabric.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ On the whole a great bag.
*by C***C on 29 November 2025*

Great bag. I like all the pockets to keep items separate and secure. There are occasions when the lining fabric can get caught in the zip. The strap length is adjustable although after a while it can slip and need readjusting. I would rather a more secure way of fixing the length.
