To be fair it was a gamble as I've never brought from them and after reading mixed reviews online some claiming it's God's gift with others often exclaiming it's not worth a penny. Me, however thought the better of it and took a leap of faith and just brought this backpack:

Which at the time I thought would be a good idea to buy in grey, although I am not disappointed I think I would've preferred it in the very dark purple (there are various colors available on the website - so follow the link under the picture and scroll down to see all the colors). Anyway the delivery came on 22/06/2014 and I had placed the standard order on 16/06/2014 (I live in England if anyone would like to know).
First impressions:
- Brilliant covering when I saw it - the bag was in a plastic bag covered in a grey plastic bag which was sellotaped so nothing came in or out
- Bit tight in the inside at initial thought - so I need to put things into it to see if it's adequate
- Considered buying other colors as I thought it looked great and potentially will be very functional
- Different sections - this is the most exciting of it I've found the perfect place for my tablet !
- Lined inner part (bonus!) - This reassures me that it is indeed well made.
- Feels well made when the material is touched and reflects that visually too.
- One I first wore it on my back (it was empty) and it sat way to high and near my head so I easily adjusted the strap on it and lowered it to my preference.
- I am 5 foot 8 inches so I was worried it wouldn't sit properly however I was pleasantly surprised and even if you're a bit taller than me. with this particular bag, I wouldn't worry about it not looking right in proportion to everything else.
1 day of use:
To be fair it did fit in a lot more than I expected and the quality after giving used it would be:
Strength: 4 / 5 - I doubt it indestructible however it can hold a reasonable amount with snapping/breaking
Style: 5 / 5 - although the style is personnel I did a get 1 or 2 compliments on it when I met up with some friends today
Comfortable: 4.5 - It doesn't feel like air however it doesn't feel like chains on my shoulders either. The straps are very comfortable and the bag doesn't dig into back, the bag is padded slightly on the shoulder straps.
Overall Verdict:
Will I be ordering from them again ? I think so, to be honest I am going to start venturing into their clothes and see how that goes but as far as their bags go (in particular this one) I highly recommend buying their bags - as overall I am both happy and satisfied with the company and the product I brought.
