Le Donne Leather Slim Sling Backpack

It is a bit small, but I love this bag. The design is sleek and elegant. It is well made, the leather seems like good quality, and the stitching is even and strong. The color is a very dark brown, and could be mistaken for black. It seems to go well with my casual wardrobe. Most other purse/backpacks are over-designed with lots of small ugly pockets and zippers. The pocket in the front is big and deep and there is a magnetic snap to keep it closed. I can squeeze my 1st generation ipad into the pocket, but I have to remember to put a bit of cloth between the glass and the snap to keep the snap from damaging the glass. The side zipper is sturdy. The bag and pocket are lined with dark brown fabric. There are no interior pockets, so adapting to finding stuff was a challenge. I started using a purse liner inside to organize my stuff. I had to cut down what I carry in my bag, but that turned out to be a good thing. What I love most is how well it works as a backpack. My bag is with me, but out of the way. It is so light I can forget about it. The adjustable straps are not very wide, but they are fine. When carrying a conventional bag, using a single shoulder strap caused me to tense up my shoulder and neck to try to keep the strap from slipping down when I moved. Using a backpack purse is better for my shoulder and my neck. Recommended.
