Love the backpack! Deep black sturdy canvas. It's bigger than expected though maybe because the 6" deep bottom hangs low in the front. A snap in the main compartment would probably solve the issue. Looking forward to many adventures with this pack!

This type of bag is my favorite. They’re a good size for day-to-day art supply transportation, and they tend to last for years. The print on this one is very well done and super cute (I got the sleepy cat design). I can’t wait to carry it everywhere I go!

I got this for my kid who will be starting first grade next year. His school does these odd envelopes for pre k and kindergarten, so first grade is their first chance to carry a backpack. He loves cats, and I like things that you can’t buy at Walmart. So, voila. It seems sturdy and well made. The only thing I don’t like is that the closures seem a bit advanced for him- and unnecessarily complicated for anyone else. But I may just replace them with paracord clips. Overall a nice product.
