***************UPDATE****************** October 24th, 2012
Okay, haii! So...I've gotten a little into the school year, and my book bag has been broken-in enough to give an update on my previous review.
So.....I was in love with this book bag, I still really like it, but....the straps are some-what weak. All I keep in there are two binders (that aren't very stuffed) to folders (one that IS stuffed lol) a notebook, sketchpad, pencil and makeup-ish bag, and the occasional Spanish textbook. And one of the straps have snapped off at the top, at the bottom, and the handle at the top has snapped. I hand-sewed them back up which I wish I didn't have to do, because you'd expect a some-what quality book bag. I tried sewing the handle at the top, but that was a fail because it snapped off again, so I gave up on that for now (I'm considering taking it off altogether :P) My point is....This book bag is best for light weight occasions. If you need something small at school to carry a few folders or notebooks or binders by themselves, that's fine, but I wouldn't really recommend it for a full-duty school year, it saddens me, but I might have to get another one for next semester. I don't know, I guess we'll have to wait and see how the little trooper does. :Pthis came in soo fast!! it came in before the estimated shipping time! when i opened the package i noticed someting inside that i didnt order but it said "gift" so i accepted it, haha. it was a really cute pair of socks. this bag overall is great! the material doesnt feel like its going to rip anytime soon, too. it has a decent amount of pockets and i can fit my books in there too without worrying about any rips. the inside of the bag is really nice and shiny. my only con is that it's a bit smaller than what it looks like on the picture, maybe because the used a petite girl, but you know what! the bag cant grow, so i might as well use this bag as encouragement to lose some weight to make it look better ony my body(yes, im over weight so dont think im skinny and making myself lose weight). if this bag gets ripped or too old i wouldnt mind ordering from this person again because the quality of the bag is really good. the bag looks exactly like it does on the model so it isnt misleading or anything. i was a bit hesitant on buying this at first since it didnt have any ratings or comments, but im glad i did because it is really cute. i would recommend this bag to everyone even if its a different color! haha

Okay, i LOVE this bag, i really do. but its just a little small. ): like another reviewer said 'make sure it's big enough for you' i didnt pay attention to the dimension size because i didnt know how to understand it so not too long ago i looked up my torso size so i could find a better fitting backpack. this backpack is about 15" long down the back, but because my torso is bigger than what the backpack size is, it's a bit uncomfortable. ): which sucks a lot because i really like this bag. so before you buy this bag you might want to go measure your torso, if you dont know how to do it then go to: it tells you how to measure your torso so you can find the perfect backpack.
this backpack might've been too small for me because i am 5'4"-5'5"(not sure) but i dont remember where i read this but i saw that this model was 5"3'(dont ask me where because i forgot). i didnt think it'll be that much of a difference since it was just an inch or two..but it does. so guys, i strongly do recommend this product for everyone!! but...its just a tad bit small which makes it uncomfortable. its not the backpacks fault! its just my height. lol. maybe these backpacks were made mainly for shorter asians? or other people in general..but im a pretty tall asian....so im off to look for a bigger backpack! still keeping this one though...maybe it'll be more comfortable later. who knows. haha
so if you are 5"3 this is JUST the right size...5"2? probably perfect, haha.my torso size is about..16 3/4" so i might buy a 17" long backpack for comfort. if you want to look at other backpacks like these you should try it's an asian website.but dont worry, its in english. haha, but there are a lot of cute backpacks there too! a bigger variety, there is also a bacg there that looks similar to this one and is really cute.. im considering it...
I hope this helped you guys!

I ordered the beige backpack. I wanted a clean-looking backpack that could carry a few books and had plenty of pockets.This backpack ended up looking just like the pictures provided. It has an off-white color of cotton canvas and has a thin golden-interior and the straps are similar to pleather. I might not put a lot of weight in the backpack but if you do, just be sure to secure the straps properly. The bag is something stylish to use on the days I have class back-to-back so I don't have to use a purse. Overall, it is attractive and was what I expected it to be. There's even an added plus of a pair of cute socks as a gift =] Also, the shipping didn't take long.Read Best Reviews of Girls' Casual Style Canvas Backpack/ Handbag/ Schoolbag (Model: B010276) Here
This product was much smaller than pictured. It is cute but definately a fashion bag only. The bigger issue is you can't return this unless you want to spend more on shipping costs than the cost of the bag. Buyer be ware, this bag is being shipped from China not within the states. That means international shipping charges which can be expensive.Want Girls' Casual Style Canvas Backpack/ Handbag/ Schoolbag (Model: B010276) Discount?
Good backpack for fashion, but not functionality. It is very gorgeous,great bright color, many accents. But if you want something you will be using everyday for school and books, this is not the bag. It is a bit small for one. The quality does not look like it would hold up to regular wear and tear of my student life. It is also hard to open and close the drawstring opening at the top. The accent pockets are all fake except the ones on the sides. I can see them breaking very easily. One piece already came off. Not for a regular student. But I bought it to look cute on the very few occasions I use a backpack a few times a year, and its fine for that.
