GOOTIUM 30624 Vintage Canvas Messenger Bag Men's Shoulder Bag

It may look a little small, but it's quite capacious. I can fit in it, no problem, a book or two, a compact umbrella or a small bottle of water, a jumper. Extra pockets for small stuff (wallet, keys) are very useful. Well made, sturdy. I've had it for a few months now, I use it pretty much every day, and it still looks great, just like when I bought it. I bought it in black and it looks very nice too, casual but not too casual. Excellent value for money.

This is a relatively inexpensive bag which has a lot going for it in terms of its size and low-weight and as a very practical, everyday commuter bag - especially if, like me, you cycle to work - as the last thing you want to be carrying on a bike is an unnecessarily large and bulky bag. This bag I would say, is the perfect size for carrying a packed lunch in for example, and it also has plenty of additional space and pockets for carrying plenty of other stuff too. The bag comes with a very comfortable webbed strap as well which doesn’t constantly ‘slip’ or ‘slide’ on your shoulder like some bags. The bag also seems to be very well made (possibly using a Poly-Cotton fabric rather than 100% Pure Cotton) although I’m not very confident that it's all that water-proof, given the bag's modest price tag. This Bag is quite stylish though and in many ways it’s not unlike an expensive ‘Domke’ Camera Satchel, but without its very hefty price tag. However, Domke bags are manufactured using the highest-quality waterproofed 100% cotton canvas, and consequently they do cost about 4 or 5 times as much as this bag. So I guess to a large extent, you do get what you pay for when it comes to canvas. But for your money, notwithstanding the worst of the British weather, this is an excellent everyday bag, very practical, and has to represent great value.

The bag is very nice and spacious, it holds the things I would take with me if I were to go out for the day, and even then there is still plenty of space. However, it does not comfortably hold A4 notebooks. It’s possible to get one in, but as seen in an image I attached, it not very practical. (Only mentioning this as it was stated in the product description that it *could* hold A4.) Personally, I did not buy this bag with the intention of using it for school, so I’m not too fussed about the inability to hold A4 books. Aside from this, I think the bag is lovely. The strap doesn’t feel uncomfortable on your shoulder, and the bag has many pockets (5, three external, two internal). The bag isn’t very heavy at all by itself, but obviously the weight would increase depending on what you put into it. For the price I paid, I’m pretty happy with it!

Great design with good capacity and well made. Love it after researching many others. Good value for money

I bought this for my son. He loves it and goes everywhere with it. Its cool enough to have accessories put on it and big enough to take everything with you. A cool bag for school or college.

Absolutely love it. Plenty of space and pockets for bits and pieces. Excellent quality.

Nice bag , but not big enough for intended purpose.

Just as the title says it’s a good quality bag! Nice and portable and easily fits in a locker at work. The material feels good and the zips don’t easily get stuck. Fairly good value for money. unfortunately the thing stopping me from rating this review as five stars is if you choose the green colour you still won’t get a green bag which is disappointing because the green shown in the store listing would have perfectly fit the outfit I had in mind for it. I feel slightly lied to however I can look past it because of the quality. Though I do wish I could get a version of the bag with the colour advertised in the green option. I know pictures can’t always reflect the exact colour but it was ridiculous, it’s not even a shade of green. Feels like false advertising. But aside from all of that it is a nice bag! Still debating on returning it.
