J WORLD Terry Messenger Bag

I like this design of bags. I have had several in different patterns. I have a specific size requirement so the bag can fit in a specific sized locker. If you do not have this size requirement then maybe the larger bag or perhaps a backpack would be an option for you. I have found these bags very durable to the abuse I put them through. Carrying heavy loads, being regularly roughly rubbed and abraded putting it into places where it just fits and/or has to fit quickly, etc. It is possible to clean the bag in the washer if it is really dirty - just make sure the pockets are cleared first. I really appreciate the zippers and the creative use of pockets and hidden pockets. I have confidence in this bag on my car trips that the zippered compartments will stay zippered and things will stay inside them despite how my car passengers may treat this bag when moving around (so if it goes sideways or upside down, your stuff is safe). I do struggle sometimes on long treks (this is NOT a hiking pack!) with the single-shoulder strap. It's definitely a "messenger bag" and under heavier loads you can feel that, and you can feel it on your shoulder. But if I was going to go hiking I would get a proper hiking pack or at least a semi-decent backpack for the time. This bag is for a specific use (as a daily) in a specific situation (specific locker / size) and for that purpose it is excellent. For size comparison: It fits paper notebooks (letter, A4 size) well, you'd likely have the space of 3-4" inches for notebook/binder thickness. It could fit an iPad or similar sized electronic tablet, but I don't carry one and there is a specific bag made with more padding if you do (although it is larger overall). You can fit external batteries, a rolled up change of clothes (compression bag for clothes is handy), smaller notebooks, collection of pens / pencils, etc., paper maps or instructions, etc.

I got this bag for air traveling, as I didn't have a good sized carry-on bag, and I don't really care for backpacks. This bag has so many pockets to stash items in, and fit well under my seat, and each compartment had a zipper to secure everything. It's well built, and the fabric must be water-resistant (I didn't test this), which can be good to prevent liquids from damaging it. It was also a great price, much cheaper than what I was seeing in stores for a messenger bag. Two minor cosn, and it was only minor to me, were that it has a very small side pocket for bottles and no shoulder support on the strap. I just put my bottle in the large compartment, but it would be nice if the side pocket was just a bit bigger for a 20oz bottle. I might look for a seatbelt support to use as a shoulder support, so it doesn't wear me down as badly.

I adore this bag. It fits everything I need with room to spare. Sooooo many different compartments That my only complaint is I have to spend longer than I like to look for my stuff when I forget which of the 15 different pockets I put it in. Great material, sturdy, functional and hella cute!

This is a good little bag, A lot of useful pockets. There is a space for all the little things (tickets, boarding pass, wallet, gum, receipts). I use this primarily as a personal item bag for traveling for flights (I guess people call this a boarding bag). It's within those small size limits and fits under the seat. It fit's a 32oz water bottle, batteries/cables, snacks, wallet/keys, random stuff. It's great for that use case. The bag as some flaws, that I will list. - The bag strap is not the most comfortable. It will dig a little into your shoulder if the bag is packed heavy. It's a small bag, so it shouldn't be that heavy in most cases though. - Seems the bag is meant for left handed people (where on right shoulder). I am right-handed and wear bags on my left shoulder. - There is only 1 zipper on all the pockets and they all go left to right, so away from you, if you are using it with you left hand. This sucks for me, because it's hard to keep the pockets slightly open and feel secure, with the zipper being away for your right arm. - I wish all the pockets had 2 zippers, so you could have them configured how you want them for easy access, so the sides of a pocket are zipped up the sides and the top is open. - Some of the stitching is fraying. Not a huge deal, especially for a 20$ bag. - The material was stiff at first, but it softened up.

My daughter loves the amount of room and pockets her messenger bag have.

I’ve had this bad for almost 5 years now. It is my every day purse. I’ve been working remote for about 2 years now so it doesn’t get daily use anymore. It has held up well. It is roomy and can hold a lot of stuff. Over time the print on the interior has faded which I don’t care about. The inner zippered pocket has separated at the seams in two places which I can repair. The pocket intended to hold a water bottle has stretched out over time. I only used it to hold water a few times; it holds my phone for easy access. The plastic on the strap broke shortly after I bought it and I superglued it back together; it has held since. Overall I am pleased with the bag and think it is a good value for the price. I’ll use it until it can no longer be repaired or I find something I like more (unlikely, I’m very picky). It does appear the company has changed a few details on the bag (the logo and placement of logo) but if the quality has remained the same I recommend the bag.

I would NOT have bought it if it wasn’t for the great sale price. It does NOT meet my standards requirements for a message bag. Why I gave it 5 stars I judge it on what it is: “Cheap message bag.” Bright pink for the most part, with space symbol lightly printed in ivory on top from a far. Made it look shape looking. But once you get closer inspection it becomes weird looking specially in the light…almost like it was trying to be a military camouflage pattern but done in blobs style patterns of pink, Ivory & a light blueish tints. Fabric feels like cheap light film plastic. Did not work. (Good thing most people will only see it from a far. ) It does have many pockets….pockets with in pockets making it very useful as a message bag. Small outside pockets are for really small stuff. Store bought small water bottle did not fit in the fish netting side pocket. In pushing it down into the fish net pocket it was too tied. Not even 1/3 into the pocket it exploded water everywhere. That’s when I found out the message bag is NOT water resistant or waterproof! Only thing that stay dry was the main pocket. Rest of the bag was soak inside & outside! This is where my standards split. I enjoy having the faraday fabric pockets can achieve radiation shielding effects and protect electronic devices from solar flares and other radiation interference pockets. The RFID blocking for credits cards & other cards. Most of all WATERPROOF to carry my electronic. This has NONE of that it’s just a simple cheap message bag. It does have the flip over 2 clip closing plastic buckle. Note one-size only fit when closed. It is locked firmly. Has a good heave strap that even out the weight of the bag when carrying on shoulders or cross the chest. Yes, I put in my own faraday pockets in many of the messages pocket’s for protect & waterproof items of importance. It’s working out great. Until I want the convenience back of “drop & go!”

First the good : the bag is roomy ; seems to be sturdy (haven't had it long enough to say definitely) Now, the ugly and this is on Amazon and I did not hold it against the product, but post it more as a warning. I have previously ordered Amazon warehouse deals and had no problems but this time I did not receive what I ordered. I ordered what I thought was a black bag and was quite surprised to receive a bright red bag. I kept it, but just a heads up. Finally the bad and this is what took off 2 stars - there is no phone pocket on the outside unless you have a flip phone. The pocket provided is completely inadequate for any of the popular smartphones on the market. Since an outer phone pocket was one of my top needs, had I been in a store, this would have been a deal breaker for me and I would not have purchased the bag. Shame really because the bag had all the other features I was looking for.

Being used for a second school year. Looks like new. No fraying or material deficiency. Great product.

es un bolso de gran capacidad y cómodo

Exactly as described. Great quality. Daughter beyond loves it.

Absolutely love it - it is colourful and fun and perfect for a little travel bag. I received lots of compliments on it.

I got the Stardust design and it's super cute and spacious!! Goes well with my pins and keychains :]
