I bought the bag for my 12 year old daughter. She is excited about it, because the bag is very "hip" at the time. I personally feel that the bag is well made, but one must be aware that one of the "In-factor" and the brand pay full with the relatively high price. The bag has only one additional outside pocket, but no separate zip pocket inside (only a few mobile phone compartments, etc.) and is therefore - and also because of their size - not necessarily suitable as a school bag.
