Leather buckles are soft and sturdy. It has a flap in case she forgets to zip it. The zipper still works as it did when it was new. It's sturdy and not bulky.

It looks very well made, but i ordered this for a back to school donation for foster children. I won't know how it performs with daily use. Color as expected. My only complaint.

The canvas is very thick and durable. It holds up well to embroider and does not pucker.

The bag has the hot glue residue on it. Unfortunately, its not an easy fix & hard to fix.

Water bottle pocket is too small to hold most water bottles. Laptop sleeve is not wide enough to hold a laptop or anotebook. Would not recommend for anything other than a child’s stuffed animal backpack.

The clasps are totally nonfunctional. The straps are only lightly padded and not comfortable. The zippers are very fragile.
