Womens Black Leather Convertible Sling Twist Lock Flap Backpack Shoulder Bag with EARBUDS CASE

I was looking for a while online and in stores for a small, black, leather backpack purse for a summer of travel, but also because I knew it would be better for my back and neck in the long run. I loved the design of this when I saw it and since it had decent reviews & was leather I took a chance. It is not super high quality leather, but the design is just as brilliant as I thought. Plus I am happy with the quality for the price. It is now my everyday bag and I have used it for several trips and normal life for the last few months. I may order another one to have in reserve in case it is not available in the future.Note: I love the design so much that I would buy this for more money if the leather was higher quality! My Galaxy S5 fits in the front pocket with the toggle with some room to spare. So I also have a tiny notebook and a pen in the pocket. I love the hidden zipper in the back for valuables when traveling and I have been able to stuff my 20 oz Contigo water bottle in the inner pouch along with my normal wallet and other basic purse supplies.Update - I have been using this almost daily for more than two years. I basically only switch out for special events etc. It has held up. The straps are now wearing and will break at some point, but for the price and all that I've put it through I am very happy with this purse/purchase. Oh and those worried about the lining... It has never ripped. So yes it is all black and not attached/sewn in everywhere, but it has also held up. The only part really showing its age after 27 months of use are the backpack straps.

Color purchased: Black with black liningUsed yet: YesQuality (outside of bag): excellentQuality (inside of bag): poorOverall design of pockets: excellentSecurity of items: excellentI purchased this bag with the idea of traveling with it so that I could have a backpack when desired and then be able to wear it in the purse configuration for when I wanted to be more dressy or if an attraction wouldn't allow backpacks. I didn't want to use this for the first time when on a major trip so I took it with me when I was in North Carolina for a few days.Here are my thoughts:- It is small but holds an amazing number of items. I carried 1) a small, travel wallet 2) my iPhone 6S 3) a mesh bag full of medicines and tissue 4) package of gum, lip balm, lip gloss 5) car keys 6) Kindle Voyage 7) sunglass case 8) regular glass case. Even with all of that, I had plenty of room left over. I felt like only 2/3 of the bag was full.- the front pocket was a perfect location for my iPhone 6s - it looked like it was designed with this device in mind. Easy to access but very secure with the latch- pockets are well designed and secured (zippered pocket on back towards the body was perfect for my small, travel wallet)- outside of the bag is very high quality, especially for the price. It looks very nice.- Major drawback is the interior lining. It is black so things totally get lost in it. I have intentionally purchased my travel wallet in a cream color and my kindle case is orange to try to help with the problem of black linings and I still had problems. Also, and probably the bigger issue, is the lining isn't attached anywhere but at the top. When you are able to find the item you are looking for and pull it out, the lining often comes with it or the lining is so loose it actually covers up things you have in the bag since it is so generous has to fold over inside the bag.After much debate, I have decided the issue with the lining is enough for me to purchase another backpack/purse combination and leave this one at home. It is sad since the bag has so many positives that the lining manages to negate its good points. I can probably work to try to tack the lining down somehow but don't have much faith that I can make it work. I don't want to spend two weeks with this being my main bag and have to fight the liner every time I put something in or take something out of it.

Great quality backpack but found it was smaller than expected. The description states that it is 10 inches in length (from east to west). I measured it and found that it is only 9.5 inches in length, This was an issue for me because I expected it to be roomier than than what was presented. My wallet is only 8 inches in length but still found difficulty in putting it in and taking it out (the fit was too tight) In addition, the opening to this backpack is very narrow, and as such, impeded my ability to retrieve my wallet and other things with ease. With that being said, this backpack is still very well made. The leather is genuine, the number of pockets are generous, zippers are all functional and the convertibility is convenient. If it were not for the size issue I probably would have kept it. It would be more user friendly if the width of this backpack was at least 11 or 12 inches. We women carry a lot of stuff in our bags and/or backpacks...we need more room!!! :) But, if you're not a person who requires more carrying space in a backpack then this will probably work for you. It is genuinely a good backpack...workmanship is excellent.

My wife hasn't taken it on a trip yet, but she thinks it has a lot of great features including "hidden" pockets that make it more secure. She's also pleased with the strap converting between a single-shoulder sling and a two strap backpack style.

This purse is exactly what I was looking for. It's roomy but not bulky, comfortable both as backpack and shoulder purse. Plus, and this might be my favorite feature, when the straps are pulled tight, it is virtually impossible to break into. The design of the straps pulls the top of the bag together and makes the main pouch inaccessible. The only thing I'm worried about is the main zipper. It slides rough and I worry that it may not hold up. It was inexpensive enough that I tried to buy a second one just in case but they're out of stock. If they come back in, I highly recommend it.

Cute and versatile back pack purse. I needed a plain black with no labels purse to use while in uniform and this is perfect! Big enough to hold my lunch and notebook. Also a good travel bag with lots of pockets. If you're like me and don't want to be a walking billboard and just want a durable and nice purse without all the flashy name brand labels then this authentic leather purse is for you!
