	Fantastic!
	Almost everything about this bag is perfect - it can be rolled into a small sack and when opened, becomes a comfortable, lightweight and convenient messenger bag. i love the size and the side compartments for water bottles and misc. items. it also has a magnetic closure which is great to keep things inside. I'll still give it a 5 star but wish it had an outside pocket in back! beautiful color options too!

	Very nice bag!
	This bag seems well made. I haven't gotten a chance to use it much yet. Its pretty large. I intended to replace my heavy purse with this very lightweight bag. I still haven't figured out how I'm going to organize my things in it without having to dig into the bottom to reach my wallet. It is quite deep. Overall, I like it a lot, the color is nice-Meadow-and its nice that it folds up into its own pocket. But if its full of stuff, what are you going to do with your stuff if you fold it into its pouch? I guess I'm not going to use it that way. Also, the flap is large (kind of awkward) and has magnets to keep it closed. There are some pockets inside and on the front side to keep things separate.
