So I pretty much lived out of this bag the past few days. I mainly wore it cross body and since they made the strap slightly longer, it hits where I want it to perfectly. The nights when we went out someplace nice, I doubled the strap and it went from a casual to dressy bag just like that. It was super easy to get in and out of. I had my essentials in there, snacks, my water bottle, and any other things I accumulated. One night we went to the movies and I had in it a 40oz Hydro Flask water bottle, a gallon ziploc with popcorn, candy, and both our wallets with room to spare. I got soooo many compliments on and people kept asking me where I got it made. It got called everything from a satchel, to a feed bag, to a utility pouch, but never a purse. It used and abused it and it still looks brand new. There is not one scratch or worn spot on it (which I was deathly afraid of). I think from using it so much that it got softer and more slouchy. I am seriously considering getting the smaller version for when I don't have to carry as much.
