I carry a bag of some sort everywhere I go. I am sad to say that I now have an actual bag collection, because no bag I have ever purchased met all of my criteria. Often I didn't find this out until I had bought and used them. I am positive that the Olkalaukku will be the final bag in my large collection. My quest is finally over!
First of all, this bag is sturdy and very well made. It is big enough for everything I need to carry, including books, loaded folders, iPad or laptop and more. The strap is wide, which helps it stay put on my shoulder. It has separate compartments for other items. I purchased the new color "black ice.". It became available just when I was ready to buy. It isn't actually black, but sort of a medium grey with a slight grape cast. It is a new neutral, and is perfect for me.
If you are looking for a good looking well made bag that is more compact than most, this is the bag for you.
