I have the espresso bag, and there are tons of features that make this bag one of my faves. Here are some of those features:FULLY ZIPPERED TOPThe main opening is not only protected by the flap, but it is also fully zippered. This comes in handy when you're somewhere where the bag will be swinging around a lot. Shopping with small children or working your way through the crowds at an amusement park are just a couple of reasons why the zipper is super handy. You can flip your purse and kick it around if you wanted, and nothing would come out. Also great for added safety/security. I always worry about purses with non-secure openings when it's hanging behind me. No worries here! Also, the flap has a Velcro closure between the two front pockets so it won't flap around.RUGGED FABRICThe fabric is water-resistant cloth, so it's easily cleaned. Another plus for busy moms with bustling kids and lots of spills. Also great in the rain. I love that it's not super shiny tacky-looking fabric. It is very matte and has a sort of crushed texture which also hides little stains (until you can wipe them up). Its soft but durably thick fabric even maintains shape when overstuffed. You can even wash the whole thing (via hand wash)!MORE SECURITY PERKSThere are two zippered pockets in the front under the flap. These are great for cell phones and Kleenex, keys... anything you need quick access too. I like how these are also zippered so you don't have to worry about anything falling out. There's also a key-finding tether inside your purse so you can easily keep your keys without losing them amongst other purse contents if you choose to keep them in the main compartment.ROOMYThe bag is incredibly roomy. I love taking it on trips because it fits my camera (my camera is not a super slim one, it's a slightly larger point-and-shoot) and it also comfortably fits a small water bottle. It also has three inner pockets: One larger pocket across the back that is zippered, and two pockets on the front side that fit credit cards, lipstick, etc. Also along the front interior are two mini pockets for pens.CROSS-BODY STRAPThe adjustable strap adds to the convenience and versatility. You can go from shoulder to cross-body with ease. The strap is super durable. Kind of reminds me of a climbing strap or something you'd find in a hardware store. My only negative comment is that I wish the strap were slightly wider. At 1 1/4" wide, it's just slightly too narrow, especially when my purse is overstuffed and I'm wearing it cross-body. Even a quarter inch more would make it much more comfortable (or, I guess I could stop trying to stuff the kitchen sink in my bag!)Overall, I LOVE this bag. I take it everywhere and it holds everything! And remember, as with all Kipling bags, it comes with the cute stuffed gorilla keychain!

I. LOVE. THIS. BAG!! It's very comfortable and feels light to carry, even when stuffed full (I have back/neck problems, so this is GREAT as other bags caused me more pain). The inside is a light color, with plenty of pockets so everything is really easy to find! No more digging around in a dark bottomless pit for my phone, a pen, medicine or lipstick, they're right there in the pockets. I've only had it a few days, so I can't comment on the longevity, but it's very sturdy and well made so I'm sure it will last me a long time. It looks great too, the fabric is also dog hair resistant - very important when you have a lot of dogs like me - there's not a hair on it! I've spent LOTS more money for bags of this quality, it's definitely worth it.

After a good 5 and a half year run, my everyday bag was literally disintegrating and falling apart at the seams. As much as I love that old bag, I knew it was time to move on. For the past year I've been on the lookout for a replacement which is my style, and for the past few months have been actively searching online and in stores. I'm very picky about what I want in an everyday bag. Functionality is very important, but I also like simple designs that don't look too masculine or asexual. This bag meets the criteria, and I couldn't be happier that I finally found what I was looking for!I was expecting this bag to be a little larger than what it is. However, I'm actually pleased that it is smaller than expected, as I love the messenger bag style but I don't have a need for a full sized messenger bag. I'd call it a mini messenger bag. It could easily hold a netbook or some small books and papers if you need it to. As far as typical essentials (keys, wallet, cosmetics, phone, feminine stuff, etc), this bag holds it all, and keeps it organized with plenty of pockets! The nylon material is thick and sturdy, and feels waterproof. Even though it is made out of nylon, it is not a sporty looking nylon. Looking at this bag from a distance, I would think it was made from cotton or canvas.I agree with some others that the strap could be a bit wider, but I don't usually carry anything heavy so it shouldn't be a problem for me. If you're a heavy loader then you might want to take that into consideration.Overall I'm very pleased with the bag and look forward to many years of use! Gotta love the fuzzy monkey, too. As chance would have it, my monkey's name is the name of one of my best friends who moved far away. Now I've always got a nice little reminder of my friend. Icing on the cake! :)
