Great bag! When I first saw it, I was disappointed because it looked really small length-wise, but it opens up really wide! Big enough for all my stuff and a bottled drink or two, but not so big that it looks like a laptop bag or messenger bag. Lots of pockets and made with a really sturdy water resistant material. Thick, sturdy shoulder strap, too. Couldn't be happier!

I love this bag! This is not my first Defea bag. I have used my first Defea as my everyday bag for two and a half years and it just does not wear out. I bought this one to have a change of colour. I have just bought the "City Highlight" design and it will go with a variety of colours and I think it is not too jazzy. I am very hard on handbags - put a lot in them - and previous brands I bought ones were wearing out in just a few weeks. This makes my Kipling bags excellent value for money. I now own several styles and have bought them all at reduced prices and am a huge Kipling fan. I like the fact that the Defea can go over my shoulder and across the body for security. It might be too big for some, but when you always seem to need lots of stuff, it's ideal.
