Advantages: it will save you money, durable, looks great

Disadvantages: some people may call it expensive

I initially bought this bag when I was going into hospital, although it technically is a 'weekend bag', I simply bought it because I found it in Marks and Spencers and noticed it was leather and looked lovely. I wanted one that locked too as I didn't want any of my stuff being stolen. It did have a white mark down the side and this is why we picked it up, we planned to take it to the check-out and mention the mark as if we never saw it. When we did, the guy apologised and offered us 50% off. I love Marks and Spencers!

*aesthetics*
I bought this in the colour pink. I couldn't say it is nice as some of the other colours but it looked pretty good and very fashionable. It does looks like it's hardwearing from the outside and does look very durable.
It does simply look like a fashionable handbag and you really could just take it out with you places. The bag is actually very big although it appears very small in the photograph on Dooyoo.

*capacity*
This bag holds a capacity of 25 litres so it does actually fit a lot in. It does appear very small in the photo but in real life is a very large bag inside with a lot of space. I sometimes have kept items in it which have lasted me a week. It is a bit of an awkward shape so fitting solid items can be a bit of a problem, but apart from that I think it fits in more than what a small suitcase would.

*durability*
I have had this bag for over a year and I have put in some very heavy items and nothing has weakened or snapped so far. The exterior has maintained itself and we finally managed to get the white mark off, although it did decolour it a bit. The zip has been stretched and pulled to try and squeeze way too much stuff in but It still looks almost brand new to this day. It is extremely waterproof as I have had it out in the rain and dropped it once in a puddle and everything inside it stayed perfectly dry. This is the most the durable bag I have ever had and it is so hardwearing.

*comfort*
The only thing I dislike about this bag is wearing it. I don't feel it's as comfortable as many other bags and the handles are a bit 'hard'. It is fairly heavy even when it is empty and does sometimes hurt your shoulders a little bit. I would have appreciated if they put an even longer strap on it so you can swing it over your shoulder and it would help ease the weight a little bit

*price*
The major downfall is the price as it is £50. However, we got it for £27 and I think it was worth every single penny. It is in such good condition that we're thinking of reselling it on eBay because it is such an expensive bag. I would hate to ever part with it as I use it every time we need tot ake a lot of items away with us and even for the younger one when he went away on his school trip to Blairvadoch (I know, I'm so nasty giving him a pink bag!)

All in all this isn't a good bag.... It's a fantastic bag and it is worth every single little penny of the £50. You may think this is too steep, but trust me I've had this for over a year and I would probably have went through 8 primark bags at £10 which will have broken and snapped so really this bag is very economical and will SAVE you money!

Summary: It's great.
