Does this backpack get dirty easily? I like the brighter colors, but worry that they will get dirty in no time.

I imagine it could. Its a canvas material. I used scotch guard on the bag when I first got it and haven't had any problems with it getting dirty or stained.

I have the dark charcoal one and it does not get dirty or dusty easily, if at all. I could not tell for the lighter colors if you are interested in those. However, I have found that a Magic Eraser (like Mr. Clean's) cleans stains in fabric, like furniture and curtain spots. I bet it could help with the brighter color backpack in case you really-eally want it. It IS a great buy.

Like Amber, I shot it with Scotch Guard. Mine resides on the floor of my cube, floor of my car, and floor of my house and haven't noticed any significant dirt pick-up.

I use this backpack every day for work. I keep my lunch kit, keys, Kindle, wallet, phone, ID, and about 40 other small things in it. It's heavier canvas so it' washes up really well. They only issue I have had so far is the cheap fake leather they used for the pull tabs on the zippers. Those broke right off. But I just bought some small key chains to use instead. I think it was worth what I paid for it.

Yesss! It definitely started to get dirty after about a week of use. The white ones super cute though.

I've had my blue one for about a year. I put mine in bags with other stuff and have to admit I tend to toss my bag at the end of the day. It's been dropped and rubs against things in my bag. It has one teeny, tiny scratch.

I've had mine almost a year and a half, and it's still going strong. No tears or anything. It's a very sturdy backpack.

No. It's the one "annoying" thing about the backpack. The positives vastly outweigh this, though. Sometimes on my bicycle or motorcycle, the straps slap me, but it's really a minor issue. Mine has more than paid for itself over the years!

I have the purple one, never shows dirt. I will say this, after only having this a few months the strap already broke off. I love it though, still using it without strap - but really prefer it with the strap. Going to buy another one, but this time going to get one with strap on other end so cards don't fall out.

I have not gotten my pads dirty yet but it is a really small issue. I think they will clean up rather easily. I love the alps products. Great stuff

I have this bag in black, and it looks new after 4 months. However, my friend has the bag pictured, and after a year she wishes she had it in black b/c it is showing dirt. However, it doesn't look too bad.

Yes, it can get dirty. However; my son uses it in his lunchbox for school, or in the car when we go on trips, so other than the inside of his lunchbox it really doesn't touch a whole lot of places. Now....if you have it loose inside a backpack; that's would be another story! On the upside; it washes a whole lot easier than other bottles...the ones with straws that bends down are a GERM-FEST, I cannot for the life of me even understand how they are legal to sell. There is NO way to clean those straws on the inside.

We have had ours for 4 months, taken hiking, traveling, and store it in our trunk where it gets tossed around quite a bit - so far no issues with snagging. We have also machine-washed it, and it still looks like new :)

I bought the blue and white one and I've had no problems with it looking dirty after a few having it on for a while.

I've had this backpack for 5 months I believe and I love it. No negative comments on it. I must say I don't use it everyday but so far everything's good.

I haven't found that it gets too dirty. It still looks new 6 months later. It fits on all of our strollers-britax b-agile, Schwinn jogging stroller and a umbrella stroller. I think it would fit just about any stroller.

It is reasonably durable, much like the material that are used to make manilla folders. Dirty? Yes they can easily become soiled...you just need to have clean objects.

I purchased the black one. It's true as described. But I don't know the color you asked. Maybe you can try google the pictures to see most backpack with the color you want

No I haven't had a problem with it getting dirty and I've already had it for a month.
