The pros: the color and finish of his bag are gorgeous.. The metallic gunmetal snakeskin really is an attention-grabber and it works well with many different outfits and other metals (silver/gold). However.. the non-removable backpack straps are really awkward and get in the way frequently. When holding the bag by the hand strap, they just dangle down and look out of place. When worn as a backpack, it slouches a bit too much and the straps were too tough to adjust, I almost felt like I would tear the leather if I tried to pull any harder to shorten them. It's plenty roomy inside and fits everything I need (wallet, glasses case, small notebook, perfume, lipstick, etc.) and could fit plenty more. I would not consider buying it because of the backpack straps and I likely would not rent it again but it was fun to carry around for a week.

This bag was definitely cute. The gunmetal color matched a lot of different things, and it had a nice shine to it. However, I found it to be totally useless as a functioning bag. The straps were difficult to open and close, it fit me awkwardly, and when I attempted to wear it in backpack fashion, even if I had the bag all the way closed, my stuff would find a way to tumble out and onto the ground. Not small stuff, either -- things like my phone and wallet. I found it to be very clunky, which is a shame because it really is adorable.

Roomy inside, and liked the back pocket on the outside of the bag.

This bag goes with just about everything and works for so many different occasions! I carried it to work, and it was big enough to fit everything I needed for the day. It transitioned from day to night seamlessly, and I even carried it for my very formal Valentine's Day dinner. My only concern was the top closure--when I wore it as a backpack I was worried it wasn't closed quite tightly enough, but it was not a problem when carried by the handle.

Love the backpack/shoulder bag options, so cute either way. Great quality.

Comfy as a back pack or over the shoulder.

Understated metallic bag-backpack hybrid? Whowouldathunk. Took me from day to night throughout the holidays. Absolutely nuts for this thing. Cannot be beat for versatility, durability (i.e. I wasn't so terrified of wear-and-tear that I couldn't bring this puppy out on the reg), and overall chicness. For what it's worth, the phrase "off-duty model" comes to mind.

Fun, easy, small tote/backpack. I wore it everyday for about a month. LOVE! Didn't want to send it back.

I received this purse with my unlimited membership and ended up keeping it for over a month. It fit a ton despite the smaller size and I loved having the option of the backpack straps or shoulder strap.

This was a great everyday piece. I took it on a tip to visit my sister in Nashville. It was nice enough to carry to dinner but also roomy enough for travel. The texture of the leather is a standout too.

This bag has a genius side zipper compartment - perfect for easy retrieval of metro card and lip balm. I love the options of backpack straps or short handle. It goes with everything, easily a day bag or a larger evening bag. Only down side is that the snake-like texture shows some wear.

A great size for an everyday work bag... I was sad to return this!!!

I was thinking it would be more structured but it was super floppy. Still got several compliments and it's definitely a fun piece.
