HomeTaste 12-inch Crossbody Travel Bag Canvas Sling Bag Carry-on Purse

I love it!!! It's small but when you're just using as a purse it's a great size! I love big purses so I decided to try a mini backpack and I'm definitely not disappointed! Super cute!

I carry a lot of little things with me and purses tend to kill my shoulder/get in the way a lot. This is a perfect little backpack if you're the kind of person who likes to have little things they may want/need on hand and are also extremely organized like I am -- I keep a book, chapstick, mints, my phone, my vape box, bottles of lotion and sanitizer and e-juice, a couple of cords, a small hairbrush, my wallet, my sunglasses and case, pens/highlighter, keys, and a few other things in here without even using all of the pockets or even half the space this bag provides. I love that I can wear it either as a backpack or a sling, it's not huge or bulky, and the rectangular shape is perfect (and one of the major reasons I bought it) for everything, especially books, tablets, small laptops, etc. I always hated the shapeless purses that just make everything lumpy and impossible to find, but this is much organized in its design. The canvas is also a great material, everything feels really sturdy (including the handle at the top), and the buckles add a nice aesthetic to it.

Just got this this morning and while I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet, I already like it a lot. It looks as pictured and feels very sturdy to boot. It's on the heavy side as could be expected from the canvas and all the leather and buckles. It's very compact. The main compartment would fit my water bottle, fold-up umbrella, planner, a book, and wallet just nicely. This would be great to take on a flight since you can use the front compartment to store tour passport and boarding pass without having to rummage inside for it.*I will modify this review if anything changes upon using the backpack*

This little pack is great for holding a lot of stuff, including a 10.5" iPad Pro in its case, but alas, it lasted me 7 weeks of daily use before one of the straps pulled right out of the bottom of the bag. I've zipped the straps together to use it as a sling, but it just doesn't work very well that way, IMHO. If I thought I could repair the bag and keep using it, I would, but the strap isn't long enough for me to be able to do that, and I'd have to reverse engineer the bag as well.If it weren't for the broken strap, I'd give it a much higher rating, but I just can't recommend it given that it didn't even last me two full months.

Wow this bag is amazing! It's super durable and is able to hold a good amount of items for its size! I bring it to work with me every day since I bought it and it's really convenient!

Awesome, awesome, awesome! This backpack is fabulous and has so many compartments (as shown in Amazon item pics). A safe place for your phone, wallet, etc. My favorite color is green and I love backpacks and messenger bags. It's not bulky or large. This fits the bill for all of my criteria. Perfect carry-on for my upccoming trip. It also has a zipper on the straps so it becomes one strap to sling over one shoulder without the other flapping about. Surpassed my expectations and larger than I expected, but still within my needs. Love it. I may buy another.

Initially purchased this bag years and years ago and decided to get another only to find that the straps broke 2 months into my recent purchase. I would not recommend getting this bag due to that. I really liked it and used it as a daily bag to throw some of my stuff it all of which is pretty light. I don't really understand how its hard to re-enforce the foundation of the bag. Really disappointed.

Originally bought this as a school backpack. However, I miss-read the size in the description, this was my fault. But my daughter still loved the bag and now uses it as a large purse to carry some of her novels in for long car rides or trips.
