This bag is abused! It's been dropped down on the dirty ground, stuffed into all kinds of places, spit-up upon, and basically just USED. It can handle being overloaded and has all kinds of great compartments. I orignially had the Eddie Bauer Manchester bag, but it fell apart after 1 use (the velcro pulled off). I bought this bag in it's place. I love the way it looks and it is extremely durable! I LOVE IT!!!!!!! I get lots of compliments on it as well!!
