Comments aboutLARGE BLUE RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLE MESSENGER BAG:
I love this bag! It comfortably fits my laptop, a few notebooks, and a small textbook but probably wouldn't be good for much more. The material it is made of is a lot more fabric-like than I thought it would be, which is nice. However, for something made of recycled water bottles, it isn't as resistant to rain as you might suspect :) The only thing that I would change is that the big black dot isn't a a circle. Also what's going on with the penguin riding a rooster in the corner?

Comments aboutLARGE BLUE RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLE MESSENGER BAG:
I use this bag to transport my laptop and work materials to/from work every day. Because there is no padding, I recommend putting a laptop in a sleeve so that it is protected. There is a shoulder strap, but not a handle, so it can only be carried over the shoulder. There is a large zipper pocket on the outside and a small zipper pocket on the inside. There are several small pockets on the outside, under the flap, which have no closures, so anything you put in them falls out. This is my primary complaint, because these pockets go unused. Although the bag can be improved upon, I'm still glad I bought it. It provides the basics, it's unique looking, and it's a great conversation piece.

I work in the arts and walk around NY a lot. I love this bag! It's comfortable and they must have added some pockets since the earlier reviews. If I get 3 years out of it, it will be worth the reasonable price.

This is nice sized messenger bag with lots of capacity. The color is a nice, vibrant blue, and it really stands out from the usual, boring messenger bags. This is the perfect vacation water bottle toting, guide and map carrying bag.
If it had a few more organization pockets in the main compartment, it would be my everyday bag.

Comments aboutLARGE BLUE RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLE MESSENGER BAG:
the bag looks good! I use it for client home visits at work, so I don't need much room. I am not happy with not having a water bottle pocket. I would recommend a zippered pocket for the phone, as I found that mine slipped out of it's sleeve. Personally, I found that it needs more pockets for smaller items that get swallowed up in the main compartment. It is close to perfect though.
