Retro Canvas Messenger Bag — Unisex Crossbody Shoulder Sling Bag for Travel, Work & Daily Use

I actually bought this thing. Personally, I'm sick of seeing that disclaimer. If you are too, you can trust me, at least on this.This bag is far roomier than the complaints about size would indicate. It's a tiny backpack, yes, but it's well designed and can fit more than you'd think. I am taking it with me to London and Paris next week and was thrilled to find that I could comfortably fit the following items:- DSLR Camera pack insert (by i-graphy, available on Amazon)- My Sony a6000 equipped with 35mm lens (into the insert)- Sony 55-210 lens with hood (into the insert)- a small umbrella (folded is less than 7", and I fit it in the side pocket that looks like it's best for a phone- Rolled up marmot rain jacket, Medium- One pocket-size map of London- One pocket-size map of Paris- Pocket-sized french phrasebook- One pair reading glassesIt all fits comfortably but yeah, you'd be hard pressed to jam anything else in there without it looking crazy bulky. As it is now, it is full, but doesn't look like I'm walking around with the seams busting. I do wish my 11" tablet would fit as well, but while it could if I took out the camera, they can't both fit. If you had a smaller tablet and left out any of the other things, you could make it work.It also sits well on my back and shoulders. I'm a 5'10 man of average-to-athletic build and this bag does not look tiny on me. It's well built, stylish but low-key, and a good, comfortable design that works for everyday carry, I very much recommend this bag.Nobody gave me a darn thing for this review.

Well-made packs. Solid construction, sharp looking, with plenty of pockets.The primary reason I purchased this was to tote Dungeons and Dragons items at gaming events. Originally went with the “medium” size. This is great for the paperless, tablet using player. There is sufficient room for a few game books, a small notebook, a 10” tablet, dice, a few figures, and such.I had hoped to also carry a small plastic report cover big enough to carry a dozen 8.5” x 11” sheets of paper. However, because of the way the top tappers when you zip it closed, it couldn’t do it. Even a manila envelope for that size paper gets crushed at the top.Returning the “medium” was hassle free and I bought the “large”.The “large” is perfect for me. Still pretty small compared to most messenger bags or backpacks. Roughly only an inch bigger in each direction than the “medium”. But that is big enough to add a small binder to carry my D&D papers and even my 13” laptop if I want. This is in addition to the items the other one held.Only caveat is the water bottle holder on the “large”. Way too narrow. Maybe a super-slim energy drink can might fit, but not a standard bottled water. Of course, the “medium” doesn’t even have one, so not a deal breaker.

This bag is very sturdy and appears to be very high quality. I bought the medium size and it fits my 11.6 in laptop easily as well as the charger, a book, and all my day-to-day essentials. This bag has many compartments and has zippers for security as well, and carries a lot more than you would think given its size. It is also extremely comfortable to carry ans you are able to feel “free” and unrestricted. Not to mention the bag is aesthetically very nice, suitable for both men and women and offers a modern hipster feel. Overall, this is a really great bag for people wanting something small, compact and stylish. I was not compensated for my review this is my honest opinion.

Pretty good, good looking. Only complaint is the magnetic snaps are not properly aligned.

Update: I have carried this bag for 18 months. Still in great condition!This was just delivered so I can't say how durable this is - but what I can say is that it's very well stitched. I've added close up photos. The craftsmanship is great for this price point. After reading other reviews it makes me wonder if these people actually ordered the same bag! To be clear this is the canvas sling bag by Leaper. This is a size medium which is perfect for purse size.What I look for in a bag like this is a bigger compartment for stuff I need to have with me but don't always need access to with easier to get to pockets for things I do! This fits the bill perfectly. Big organized compartment and then a mix of sizes of easy to get to compartments for phone, wallet, etc.Some of the features aren't really highlighted - such as the multipurpose straps and loops. Which are not purely decorative.This will be a great all purpose bag - great for hiking or shopping. I want a purse bag that's tough - I can toss it in the car without fear of stuff falling out and that will stand up to multitasking, errand running, day trips whatever.It's every bit as great as I hoped it will be. If it doesn't hold up to the durability test, I will update my review.If you are looking for something to carry books, laptop or for serious hiking you would definitely want the bigger ones. And I'm considering ordering the larger size as well.

I bought this as a 13th birthday present for my sporty, intelligent, world-traveller niece. She is JUST starting to get into purses/bags and she was going to Mexico with her family for her birthday. She requested something "army green" with a lot of pockets and zippers. This bag completely lived up to the hype! There are pockets everywhere, zippers, clips, rings, and flaps. She can put her tablet, phone, book, and snacks in it to travel. She can change the way the shoulder strap is hooked, she can stuff a whole bunch of stuff in it. I really hope it lasts a long time and she gets a lot of use out of it. I can't REALLY comment on the quality since I am not using it but from I can tell, it's a neat little bag. And she loves it so Aunt Krista was a big hit this year! Thanks!!!

So I've had this bag for 2 years now without issue, though admittedly it hasn't seen truly heavy use like my main (larger) messenger bag.This bag has a great layout because the front and flap pockets are usable when the main compartment is full, and the interior pockets don't interfere with filling it to capacity.For comparison, I originally bought a peak design tech pouch, but it had too many dividers and pockets. I tried squeezing everything in my main Tumi messenger, but when the central compartment is full the organizer pockets are essentially unusable. I ended up buying this which was really too big for the gadget I had in mind, but the price is really good compared to similar bags from the name brands and I was so frustrated I was ready to try anything.The bag is of surprisingly good quality for the price. While obviously the material isn't very premium (like obviously the leather isn't real), it doesn't feel cheap either. It has that durable utilitarian vibe, and has survived 2 years of light to moderate use (since it only supplemented my everyday bag, as intended). The magnetic clasp holds reasonably well without being difficult to separate with one hand.My original plan didn't work out so I ended up repurposing this bag for my Nintendo switch, with plenty of room for the power adapter, cables, travel dock, and extra controllers. It is the perfect size for this, in my opinion.I might consider the larger size to replace my everyday bag when it wears out, though I suspect it will be quite some time before I will need to replace either my supplemental leaper canvas or my EDC.

Very small but good otherwise
