Great "Handbag of Holding" replacement!
I have been looking for a few years for a handbag/purse/whatever to replace my "Handbag of Holding" I bought from ThinkGeek 10+ years ago that finally just completely bit the dust about a year and a half ago. I even bought fabric to fix that bag but decided that was just silly.I've bought multiple bags on Amazon and they were all wrong for different reasons. The most recent before this was a fairly nice bag and had lots of pockets but was ridiculously floppy and hard to just reach in and find something.This one, however... I got excited when I first opened it to find a stiff canvas material, a flat bottom (cardboard likely but that's what they all are), and lots of pockets, including some I didn't know were there until I started showing the hubby who could not give a flip (but will be happy if it works just so I quit complaining about it). My Samsung Galaxy S3 (9.7") tablet fits in the padded, velcro flap pocket with room to spare so if you have something bigger you've got the space. My LG G6 phone fits in the outside side pocket securely and easily.There are 4 extra-large pockets (about 8" deep by 12" wide, one with zipper, one with velcro and the tablet padded pocket with a fold over velcro strap), 1 large pocket (about 6" deep by 9" wide), 6 medium pockets (about 6' deep by 4-5" wide, two with zippers), 3 small pockets (about 4" by 4", two with zippers and one of the zipped pockets being behind the no zipper pocket) and 3 pen pockets. Also has a long key holder strap thing. Could easily pull out the key hook and open a door without unhooking the keys.The lining is not a thin satin lining, it's more of a thinnish canvas/cotton? I think it'll hold up well.The only downside I'd see is it has one of those "still open at the ends" top whole purse zipper but as I don't zip up the top of my purse anyway it won't bother me.I'll edit this review after I've had it a while to update on it's durability. I have high hopes, though, and I'm seriously considering buying 3 more so I never have to do this hunt again!Update: I still love this bag and bought a second one but today the edge of the purse got caught in the door when I was closing it and the hook just broke! Obviously not metal which is disappointing. I'm going to have use the strap from the other purse and it's a different color so that's going to not look good. (The gray one broke, the new one I bought is brown)Other than that it's in good shape and has handled the abuse I put a purse through. Just be sure to be a little careful with the hooks attaching the long strap.

Attractive and Functional
I love the fact this bag is made of canvas, so it is very sturdy. With all the pockets and dividers, it holds a LOT of stuff! I've gotten a many compliments regarding the look of it. I purchased the blue one. Be careful though, two or three of the other colors are made of nylon as opposed to the canvas. I don't know if they are as sturdy as the canvas.

Okay bag
I got this bag for a trip. It was a bit smaller than I anticipated but holds all the things I needed it too. I like large bags. This is more medium sized. It has great pockets for organizing your things but the lining is super cheap. Almost like a gauze. The stitching is pink. I didn’t realize that when I ordered. It was great for travel, could use it cross body style. It’s a nice bag and held up in the airport with a ton of heavy things packed inside. I dislike the logo/brand patch on the front pocket. It’s large and gaudy looking. I like the bag but wish the inside material was a a better quality. Not sure that will hold up for the long haul.

There Are the "Good" and "Bad" on This Product.
I needed a tote/crossbody/handbag with handles and shoulder strap. To find the best of the bunch, I examined all 400 models on the Amazon website twice. Two made the final cut: GUISHI E-COMMERCE NYLON CROSSBODY TOTE HANDBAG and this. I decided on the latter because it had more user evaluations, more pockets, and canvas construction..Here are the "good" and "bad."..ADVANTAGES.1. The canvas material looks and feels more durable than the familiar rip-stop nylon..2. The size is appropriate. It is not too small or overwhelmingly large. The bag will hold one's essentials and two textbooks..3. There are many pockets - seven total..4. The quality of the stitching is excellent. The workmanship is professional, and there are no observable flaws..5. The $26 is at the mid-point of comparables...DISADVANTAGES.1. A heavier canvas is needed..2. The zippers are regular grade. For this reason, the metal heads will eventually break due to continual usage. They need to be upgraded to a heavier quality..3. The outside-back zippered pocket is too small. The 5 5/8" length needs to be increased to 10"..4. The inside zippered pocket is also too small. The 6" length also needs to be increased to 10"..5. The thin and shiny statin-like lining is cheap quality. It needs to be replaced with rip-stop nylon..6. The 1 3/8" Velcro strip on the two side pockets is too small. For this reason, it comes off too often. To eliminate this problem, increase the length to 2"...If the above suggestions are implemented, this product will be the best in the planet.

I love this bag!
I am the type of person who needs to have everything for any type of situation that may arise. So, I love this bag. It's large without being overkill and it has tons of pockets. It holds everything I need and more. I can fit my waterbottle, books, first aid, medicines and more! It's heavy duty and it seems durable. Only time will tell. The strap can be a little annoying because it adjusts itself but it's not bad.
