ZZINNA Messenger Bag - Durable Crossbody Shoulder Bag for Men & Women - Perfect for Work, Travel & Everyday Use

BienI have this for about two years now. Have used it on several overseas trips (perfect for passports and documents. Phone and Kindle. For daily use I find that there are WAY too many pockets and compartments. I think 3 would have sufficed and find myself searching in this small bag too often.I was helping my husband get another man bag since he recently lost his other one (wish everyone could be honest out there and return items someone misplaces but alas, this world of ours isn't like that!) We came down to comparing this bag with another man bag that's around the same price range (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KR5D6LB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and we decided not to buy it. To be fair, here are the pros and cons about it, "out of the box" after receiving it (not from actually using it):PROS:• It's a decent size albeit just a tad smaller than the competing (aforementioned) bag• It has just the right number of pockets on the front, back and inside• It has a pen holder and other similar kind of basic inner pockets you would expect in a man bag or women's handbag• It uses a nicer quality fabric (has a thicker feel and nice silvery color) lining the insides of the entire bag• It has a nice adjustable shoulder strap• It is made of a waterproof kind of fabric where water would roll off of it.Is lightweightCONS:• The zippers do not glide open and shut as smoothly as the competing man bag. (This was the issue of why we decided against choosing this bag over the other one.) I had to struggle to zipper it open and shut so I would imagine that it would jam up in the near future and break.• It doesn't appear as nicely designed on the outside compared to the competing man bag.• At least two of the zippered pockets were too tiny to be of use for much of anything except a tiny ipod for just music (but who has those these days?) or a small toothpick holder. Since this is a bag designed for mostly men, I can't understand why the designers would make them so small that even someone like me with petite fingers would have a hard time being able to reach into them to retrieve anything.A lot of pockets and it’s a nice shoulder bagI bought this bag for a trip. Some museums, sports arenas, etc. do not allow backpacks and large bags, so I needed a smaller bag like this one. I wanted a smaller bag that was still large enough to fit my wallet, water bottle, hand sanitizer, sunglass case, etc. This bag did the trick. With a sunglass case, water bottle, and wallet, it's a bit tight, but nevertheless it was a great size for me. The bag has the perfect number of zippered pockets to allow me to separate my small items. Now that the trip is over, I'll use the bag to carry my iPad Air 4 around town. The only concern I have is how I can wash this bag in the future because it did not come with washing instructions.My first “MURSE”. I love it, but the zippers are small.not user friendly and everything is in a different language on the phone. no way to get helpGreta bag, looks much better and more expensive in real life.
