This bag has some good design ideas, and some poor ones. I love the idea of access to the open area (sandwiched between the two zippered compartments). It''''s a perfect place for cell phone and keys. But the Velcro does NOT hold the open compartment closed. And because the handle is attached to the back wall of the bag, the weight of the contents make the bag lop-sided when you hold it by the handle. The bag slips onto the shoulders very easily, and the bag rides very comfortably on your back. Someday these bag designers are going to remember to attach the handles at the center of the bag, but as the size of the bag is perfect, I''''ve got my local cobbler designing a fix for the Velcro problem. And I''''ll live with the weight and balance problem, because obviously, most of the time the bag is either on my back or on my shoulder.

Contemporary clean look with this backpack from the "One Touch Collection" complete with top zip and flap for added security. The first thing I appreciated was the size of the bag. It holds everything! The cell phone side pocket is the perfect size for my phone. I also love the rich brown color. I had to go out and buy some brown shoes to match. The bag is comfortable on my back, and holds all of my necessities. I plan to purchase one in black when I have some extra money! The bag is durable and stylish! I''''ve just recently purchased my second Tignanello bag from us, it is just as described, WONDERFUL! I love the soft leather and fabric lining, the quality and workmanship are great too. One thing about this about this particular bag that I think they should share on the description is the size of the side cell pocket! I read in a previous testimonial that it is small, but that person did not mention the dimensions. They are from top to bottom (exterior) 5 inches, and side to side at the bottom 2 1/8".
