I like this bag a lot

I like this bag a lot. I have other Osprey bags an this one is very similar in quality except for some weak hardware designs. The lock for the top opening draw string broke as soon as I got the bag. It's not a standard barrel lock and making it work is counter intuitive. Fortunately, Amazon is great with returns and a replacement bag is on the way. I'll probably replace the lock on my new bag with a barrel lock. I would recommend this bag.

This is a good bag, especially for the price. It's a lot bigger than it looks. I am a tall girl, and when I wear it if feels/looks just slightly smaller than a laptop/book bag, so I'd say it's a mid sized bag. It fits so much stuff though. It fits a large wallet, a water bottle, hand lotion, a small umbrella, a small makeup bag, and a light sweater really easily. I also really love that it has so many pockets! There are six total pockets on the outside, three on the front, one on the back and two on the sides. Then inside there are two organizing pockets and one zip pocket. Over all the quality is really nice, but the only con with the quality of this bag is some of the zippers are a bit sticky, but that might go away with use. The only other thing I was personally sad about was that it does not hold it's shape very well. If it's not very full it will sag when you are carrying it. But over all I am very happy with the bag and would recommend it if you are looking for a quality looking mid size bag that will fit all your things in and is a very reasonable price. :)

First, I have to say I liked this bag upon receiving, but now I love it. It grew on me because I didn't like the size at first. I ordered a large, but they ran out and suggested the medium. The medium is 13 inches in length and I could have used the extra inch in the large. I'm partial to larger size bags. However, this bag is pretty good for everyday. I can carry my make-up, bottle of water, hair brush, wallet, some documents (if they can be folded), other personal items.  It looks expensive; people are always asking me what designer it is. I get compliments on it all the time. A co-worker thought it was a Kate Spade.  Another person thought it was an LV SC bag. The color red is gorg! it's a deep wine red color and it pops especially when you wear dark clothing. The pale gold hardware is very nice..  I can see it is starting to slightly slouch and adjust to the contents in the bag and I love that look.  It hugs my body when I wear it so the bag doesn't look bulky at all. The only thing I don't love is when you adjust the shoulder strap to make it shorter in length, the end of the strap doesn't stay put in the "strap holder" so I have to keep adjusting it if I'm walking long distances. Other than that, the leather feels, smells, and looks real. It's a nice bargain for looking like it's several hundred to a couple of thousand dollars. I don't regret it and I'm actually thinking of buying one for my sister as a gift.

I spent two weeks looking for the right bag before I chose this one. I've had it for about two months now and overall, I love it. When I first got the bag, I'll admit I didn't like the design as it looked like someone drew on it with a glitter pen, and all the glitter came off while the color remained. I can easily make it look better so I didn't take a star off. The bag itself is a little bit lighter than the picture shows. I want to say it looks like a dirty gray? I really wanted the light gray but even Case Logic's website is sold out of those.

There is no comfort strap but the strap is wide enough and doesn't hurt as long as I don't carry too much. I'm a student and I have two huge books, a mini laptop, and a couple folders. I try not to carry both books because the weight is all on one side and it's uncomfortable (I'm really thin).

The pockets on the sides are very handy. I keep my cell phone and keys there for easy use. The inside of the bag has more than enough room for my books, laptop, and tons of pens and accessories that I like to carry around. It's fallen upside down in my car a few times, and even without the strap buckled in, nothing has fallen out. The only thing I don't like is the outside strap when my bag has a bulge in the middle. It's a little harder to secure so most of the time I just leave it as is and let the velcro keep it closed. The laptop compartment is padded on both sides and the bottom (I read from tons of reviews that a lot of bags aren't). So far the bag is holding up really well. No rips, tears, or loose threads. It's not even flimsy when there is nothing in it (I hate floppy bags). I chose this over a backpack because backpacks don't have enough storage space, and the ones that do make me look like I'm going on an expedition. I also wanted something a little more stylish, but not too girly and not too corporate-looking. It's so hard to find just a normal bag that does what it's supposed to do.

I like this bag very much, it looks good with a little or a lot in it. Good material, well made. I have been wearing it every day for work for over a month now and it still looks like new. An excellent deal for the price.

I like this bag a lot, but in the end returned it because it seemed a bit bulky.  One of the nicer bag's and very well thought out though.  It felt a bit big with my new Macbook 12'

I like this bag a lot, it is high quality, has a nice smaller pouch inside for your computer or camera or something else in need of protection, and the size is good. Good strap, good zippers.  It also has velcro straps inside to hold the coiled hoses in place.  I also packed the extra space in there with clothes to add padding and maximize suitcase space.  Nice.

I use this bag all the time, I just wish it was a bit bigger.
Love it.

I received this bag as a present, and I love it. Very well made. It seems to be a strong bag, with lots of room inside.
Glad I placed it on my wish list. :)

This has been a really wonderful bag for me so far. I purchased it with the intent of changing from a regular purse to a larger messenger bag (for the ability to carry more with me in an organized way, rather than just a giant purse). After much deliberation, I landed on the Cotopaxi Kpong Satchel.

My top favorite characteristic of this bag is the appearance. It is a very classic, attractive bag that is neither too sporty nor too fancy. I went with the navy blue color, and I think it looks fantastic with the gray straps and brown leather accents.

This bag is interesting in part due to the front flap not actually opening into the rest of the bag. The front flap only reveals a small zippered pocket and three pen pockets. On the front of the flap, there is a lower zipper (which gives you access to a low, wide pocket - where I tend to stow my phone and keys), and the upper zipper gets you in to the main compartment of the bag. This is an interesting design choice, and while I may have originally preferred that the flap actually open into the bag (like any typical bag does, right?), I think this way works just fine for me now that I am used to it.

There were limited pictures of the interior of this bag when I was shopping for it (particularly on Cotopaxi's website), so I was pleasantly surprised to find that the interior even has a pocket/holder on the side for a water bottle. This is majorly appreciated. Beyond that, the interior of the main compartment has just one pocket (to the back of the compartment/bag), and the rest of it is open. I would have preferred a bit more organizational ability within the main compartment of this bag. However, I did find a small purse organizer with pockets for some of my small items, so that fulfills that need for me.

The other compartment in this bag is the zippered area on the back of the bag, presumably intended for a small-ish laptop or tablet. Thus far for me, I manage to stick a couple of books and some papers in there to keep them from getting crushed or wrinkled, so that's a good use of the pouch for me.

Beyond that, I am pleased that there is a handle on the top of the bag (instead of only having the long strap). The zippers are great and always easy to slide open and closed. The overall craftsmanship of the bag is beautiful, and I am very very pleased with the bag. It is very comfortable for me to wear, as well.

Note that the bag is water resistant but not entirely waterproof. I was caught in a rainstorm and had to walk several minutes in the downpouring rain with the bag fully exposed to the rain. While nothing inside got wet and nothing leaked, The bag's outer was thoroughly soaked and I could feel a slight dampness on the inside of the canvas (but again, no actual leaks and no actual problems, just something to be aware of should you have anything that is particularly sensitive to potential moisture).

I love this new bag.  It's a good size for me, can hold a lot of stuff, but if I don't have it filled, it isn't sloppy looking.  It can hold my laptop and ipad if/when I need it to which is what I really like.  Very cute and stylish - I get compliments.

I like this bag.  I don't LOVE this bag but I like it very much.  I have a Janome Magnolia 7330.  It fits into this bag very easily.  The pockets are roomy to handly my book, peddle, and power cord.  I do with though that I had a bit more room for a few accessories like a bobbin box or a few spools of thread... maybe a pair of sheers.  Not a lot of things, but a couple of basics you might take to a class or a friend's house.

Overall, I feel like this bag is stable for carrying my machine and feels sturdy.  I wish my machine had come with a hard case, but this is a nice alternative.

This is a very nice bag -- and I'm happy with it, in general. The style is chic and the leather is soft to the touch -- very pleasing.  It is a good, functional size and I love that it's lighter weight than some leather bags can be.  At the end of the day, it's a comfortable bag to carry, as well as a stylish one.  I am not 100% thrilled with the quilting, however.  This is a very subjective point, I realize, but I had expected the quilting (which I liked from the photo) to be more subtle than the puffy little pillows that cover the bag's surface. It's very 3-dimensional.  Some people might prefer that tactile quality, but I'd rather it be a little less pronounced.  This is not a deal breaker by any means, just worth noting. . . .
