SHANGRI-LA Messenger Bag for Men and Women Canvas Purse Crossbody Shoulder Bag Casual Sling Pack Casual

I super love this bag. Plenty of room. Nice zipper. I changed my strap out for a different one because I wanted a different look. The strap that comes with the bag is great also. Lots of pockets inside. The description is exactly what you will receive. Medium weight Read more

Used this as my carry on and daily bag, in my recent travels. Fits great under the seats, in airplanes. Carried it around with the items I needed for moving around throughout the day. This wouldn't replace a backpack if you needed a lot of items, but if you just need a few it is perfect. Seems pretty durable, was mildly rough with it during my travels and it shows little to no wear. It is definitely water proof, got caught in the rain a few times with it, one time in which it was a heavy down pour, and nothing inside got wet. I will probably take it with me whenever I need a small bag and it looks good with most outfits too. Would highly recommend. Read more

This bag is well-made, sturdy, and durable. Quality materials will probably hold up for a long time. I bought the small size which is just big enough to hold what I need on a daily basis, not too big or too small. Bag is quite rugged, more like a camping/hiking bag rather than a fashion bag. Only thing I don’t like is that the color. The one I ordered which was supposed to be dark gray, looks more like dark brown in person. Really expected it to be a slightly lighter/obvious grey. Doesn’t look like it does in the online pictures. Read more

I'm quite pleased with this bag. I've used it daily for 8 months now and it shows only the most minor signs of wear, mostly scuffs on the bottom. That is, it looks used, but not damaged. I like this particular color scheme a lot. The lovely metal parts in particular are a good match for some accessories I use all the time. I've thought of a few ways this product could be improved, but all are fairly minor. A snap to close the front pocket (under the main flap), just like the rear pocket can be closed, would be nice. A snap receptacle lower down on the front, near the bottom, for closing the main flap when the bag is not stuffed so full as to push the top of the main flap up would also be nice. Mine is almost never that full, and so the buckle and snap for closing the main flap usually end up dragging on the floor whenever I set it down. If I snap it closed anyway, the main flap sags lower and folds the buckle strap under, and this occasionally pops the snap loose if it gets jostled sufficiently. It might also be worth putting the other half of the extra snap on the inside of the flap itself, near the bottom edge, where the flap itself could be directly attached to the currently existing snap receptacle (instead of only being attachable via the buckled strap), which could also be useful when there is very little in the bag. I find the divider between the two portions of the smaller, non-zippered inner pocket a bit annoying. The pocket isn't deep enough to hold long narrow items in place well. I have larger items which would tuck into that pocket nicely, but can't fit because of that division. I thought about trying to remove the stitches which create the divider, but I didn't want to risk causing damage with my utter lack of experience in that field! Alternatively, the one zippered inner pocket is so very useful for keeping a collection of smaller items contained, I think replacing that divided pocket with a second zippered pocket would be amazing. Finally, the thing I've noticed the lack of most is a shoulder pad -- not primarily because I need a shoulder pad, but because it would keep the two sections of the shoulder strap from separating. When I put the bag down, the strap often tends to separate into a mess of multiple loops. Sorting them out when I pick it up again, so that I'm not just grabbing one of them and ending up with the bag dangling to my toes, and so that I don't have one section flipped over, is a bit annoying. I've looked for add-on shoulder strap pads, but I can't find any in remotely the right color. Most are black on black on black, and the leather ones tend to be expensive and a much lighter shade that wouldn't match the color bag I got at all. Despite the room for improvement, I still think this bag does its main jobs very well, so I'm giving it 5 stars anyway! Read more

This is the second time I've bought one of these bags and I'm not disappointed. It's sturdy, roomy, waterproof, and has just enough pockets to be versatile without being confusing. It's a great guys' bag to hold all the things guys tend to cofusedly keep in 5 different places, and it straps cross-chest for the perfect fit. Worth it. Read more

I bought the small brown bag. This is a casual women's or men’s bag, not for a girly girl. The color is not like the picture, it is more of a dark camel color, yellow-orange-brown. I am still happy with the bag, just surprised when I opened the package. There is definitely a wax feel on the canvas, however there was no stiffness like other reviews stated. I could easy collapse the bag, roll it, smush it… it has just enough to keep form. Because this is a waxed bag, your nails or other hard surfaces could leave “marks” in it. The solution like any waxed material is to just rub the area and your finger heat should remove the mark. The material and zipper feel substantial, and I have no initial issues that they will fail soon. The strap is the flimsiest part of the bag. The metal piece on the strap which controls the length is I believe the greatest weakness, it gives me the impression that it will fail to maintain the length over time and slip. I’m willing to deal with this and sew it a permanent length if that time comes. Read more
