J World New York Terry Messenger Bag for Women Girls School Kids

I’ve had this bad for almost 5 years now. It is my every day purse. I’ve been working remote for about 2 years now so it doesn’t get daily use anymore. It has held up well. It is roomy and can hold a lot of stuff. Over time the print on the interior has faded which I don’t care about. The inner zippered pocket has separated at the seams in two places which I can repair. The pocket intended to hold a water bottle has stretched out over time. I only used it to hold water a few times; it holds my phone for easy access. The plastic on the strap broke shortly after I bought it and I superglued it back together; it has held since. Overall I am pleased with the bag and think it is a good value for the price. I’ll use it until it can no longer be repaired or I find something I like more (unlikely, I’m very picky). It does appear the company has changed a few details on the bag (the logo and placement of logo) but if the quality has remained the same I recommend the bag.

I like this design of bags. I have had several in different patterns. I have a specific size requirement so the bag can fit in a specific sized locker. If you do not have this size requirement then maybe the larger bag or perhaps a backpack would be an option for you. I have found these bags very durable to the abuse I put them through. Carrying heavy loads, being regularly roughly rubbed and abraded putting it into places where it just fits and/or has to fit quickly, etc. It is possible to clean the bag in the washer if it is really dirty - just make sure the pockets are cleared first. I really appreciate the zippers and the creative use of pockets and hidden pockets. I have confidence in this bag on my car trips that the zippered compartments will stay zippered and things will stay inside them despite how my car passengers may treat this bag when moving around (so if it goes sideways or upside down, your stuff is safe). I do struggle sometimes on long treks (this is NOT a hiking pack!) with the single-shoulder strap. It's definitely a "messenger bag" and under heavier loads you can feel that, and you can feel it on your shoulder. But if I was going to go hiking I would get a proper hiking pack or at least a semi-decent backpack for the time. This bag is for a specific use (as a daily) in a specific situation (specific locker / size) and for that purpose it is excellent. For size comparison: It fits paper notebooks (letter, A4 size) well, you'd likely have the space of 3-4" inches for notebook/binder thickness. It could fit an iPad or similar sized electronic tablet, but I don't carry one and there is a specific bag made with more padding if you do (although it is larger overall). You can fit external batteries, a rolled up change of clothes (compression bag for clothes is handy), smaller notebooks, collection of pens / pencils, etc., paper maps or instructions, etc.

I adore this bag. It fits everything I need with room to spare. Sooooo many different compartments That my only complaint is I have to spend longer than I like to look for my stuff when I forget which of the 15 different pockets I put it in. Great material, sturdy, functional and hella cute!

Seems like a decent bag for my 4th grader. She loves the pattern and really wanted a messenger bag this year, so we’ll see how it holds up during the school year!

I got this bag for air traveling, as I didn't have a good sized carry-on bag, and I don't really care for backpacks. This bag has so many pockets to stash items in, and fit well under my seat, and each compartment had a zipper to secure everything. It's well built, and the fabric must be water-resistant (I didn't test this), which can be good to prevent liquids from damaging it. It was also a great price, much cheaper than what I was seeing in stores for a messenger bag. Two minor cosn, and it was only minor to me, were that it has a very small side pocket for bottles and no shoulder support on the strap. I just put my bottle in the large compartment, but it would be nice if the side pocket was just a bit bigger for a 20oz bottle. I might look for a seatbelt support to use as a shoulder support, so it doesn't wear me down as badly.

I would NOT have bought it if it wasn’t for the great sale price. It does NOT meet my standards requirements for a message bag. Why I gave it 5 stars I judge it on what it is: “Cheap message bag.” Bright pink for the most part, with space symbol lightly printed in ivory on top from a far. Made it look shape looking. But once you get closer inspection it becomes weird looking specially in the light…almost like it was trying to be a military camouflage pattern but done in blobs style patterns of pink, Ivory & a light blueish tints. Fabric feels like cheap light film plastic. Did not work. (Good thing most people will only see it from a far. ) It does have many pockets….pockets with in pockets making it very useful as a message bag. Small outside pockets are for really small stuff. Store bought small water bottle did not fit in the fish netting side pocket. In pushing it down into the fish net pocket it was too tied. Not even 1/3 into the pocket it exploded water everywhere. That’s when I found out the message bag is NOT water resistant or waterproof! Only thing that stay dry was the main pocket. Rest of the bag was soak inside & outside! This is where my standards split. I enjoy having the faraday fabric pockets can achieve radiation shielding effects and protect electronic devices from solar flares and other radiation interference pockets. The RFID blocking for credits cards & other cards. Most of all WATERPROOF to carry my electronic. This has NONE of that it’s just a simple cheap message bag. It does have the flip over 2 clip closing plastic buckle. Note one-size only fit when closed. It is locked firmly. Has a good heave strap that even out the weight of the bag when carrying on shoulders or cross the chest. Yes, I put in my own faraday pockets in many of the messages pocket’s for protect & waterproof items of importance. It’s working out great. Until I want the convenience back of “drop & go!”

My daughter loves the amount of room and pockets her messenger bag have.

If you are looking for a smaller messenger bag made of soft fabric than this bag is for you! It comes with all sorts of pockets which makes it very functional. It cannot hold a lot of heavy items since it is lacking the sturdiness. It is cute though! On the downside the delivery took forever..with delays. Good luck!

Being used for a second school year. Looks like new. No fraying or material deficiency. Great product.

es un bolso de gran capacidad y cómodo

Exactly as described. Great quality. Daughter beyond loves it.

I got the Stardust design and it's super cute and spacious!! Goes well with my pins and keychains :]

The seam was coming apart when I received it in the mail and I didn't have time to send it back and receive a new one before the first day of school.
