Perfect as a purse for travel
"Perfect size for travel! It fits my wallet, a book, sunglasses, etc and easily fits under an airplane seat. I wish the magnet clasp was stringer- but there is a cinch tie too so nothing falls out."

The Carrie Drawstring Backpack is praised for its perfect size, high-quality materials, and versatile color. Customers appreciate the thoughtfully designed pockets and the soft, comfortable leather. However, the functionality of the water bottle sleeve is a mixed point.

"The structure of this bag is planned to make orgnizing and retrieving items easier."
"Very pretty bag with soft leather and quality hardware. The zippers work beautifully and I like these areas for my key fobs. The inside bottle holder works perfectly for me when I travel. As others have said, you can’t completely close the flap if you put a large iPad in the area so I use that for items I want to keep more upright. My iPhone pro max fits easily in the outside back area. My only complaint is it’s a bit heavy and there’s no strap padding so it gets a little uncomfortable to carry for hours. i got the pink and it’s a soft color. The drawstring works fine and slips behind the latch on the front of the bag. It can be a little time consuming to close the magnetic snap so it’s good to know the drawstring keeps the inside items secure."
"I haven’t carried a full-size bag in years because I traveled and it was easier to carry a small bag that fit in my backpack. With retirement, I decided to try this bag. It is very stylish, but has terrific features. I love the water bottle holder INSIDE the bad so if your bag tips, the water bottle stays put. I did not expect to like it as much as I do. (I also love Levenger!)"
"I love this bag. It is everything you need in a travel bag. There is plenty of room and quality is excellent!"
"The leather is soft but still holds its shape. Love the two separate zip front pockets. Interior is nice and roomy."
"Poor balance when used as backpack"
"This backpack is one of my favorites, and I carry dozens. Fortunately, not all at once! The purple shade is rich and unusual and evokes multiple compliments. Though smaller than many of my bags, those one holds everything I need. I just wish the other colors would head to clearance. (Hint, hint. )"
"I recently changed to this purse as I love the pockets to help me to organize my belongings. In addition, it closes securely so I don't have an open purse everywhere I go. The backpack straps are also a plus for when I need to be hands free. I love it!"
"Good quality leather and right size with many compartments for organization. My only little negative is that the main compartment is drawstring and not a zipper closure, which is my personal preference. Willing to give the drawstring a try."
