*****UPDATE 4/03/2025***** ~ I just had to come back and revisit this review with an update and some new pictures. I had always been the type of person who switched up my purses often. However, when I found this backpack purse four years ago, I fell in love with the style and functionality of it. Over the past four years I have purchased this same exact bag in multiple colors. It is my daily purse. I have pretty much used this style exclusively since I bought my original one. Occasionally I will need a bigger backpack or a smaller purse for special events, but when I am on the go most days, this is the bag I use. It may not seem like a big deal, but as someone who got bored or frustrated with purses often, to find one that fits my needs and continue to use it for years says a lot about the product.That said, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing. I did have two bags with zipper issues. One I had mentioned in a previous update, and just last month, another bag started with zipper issues after about six months of use. Again, it was the same problem as the first issue with the main compartment randomly splitting open. My other gripe about this bag are the straps. I don’t have any issue with the fabric/nylon portion except that it often gets twisted up on the bottom while trying to put it on. Perhaps the loops holding the straps needs to be more narrow to prevent the material from twisting up.I would still continue to buy this bag and recommend it to others. I had even bought one for a friend who complimented me on mine. The material is durable. I haven’t had any rips or tears, even at stress points with the straps. It’s been a great bag overall. I still give it a 5 star rating. I just wish Cluci would offer more colors in this style. The options have dropped off considerably the last couple of years. I do hope the company continues to make this bag though. It’s been my favorite go-to bag!****UPDATE**** November 8, 2022**** ~ I ordered the Two Tone Coffee color for late Fall/Winter and OH MY....it is gorgeous! I am leaving a couple of pictures but they don't do it justice. Photos were taken in natural light. Truly a beautiful bag. My first outing with it, I even got a compliment on it from a fellow shopper at the store. It is comfortable and I love the material. This is a newer version/model so it has the lighter inside lining and the plaque company logo. I am just now using this one, so I am hoping the lining and zippers hold out. I've read reviews about the new lining tearing easily and I truly hope that isn't the case. I will update if there are issues. But, so far, I LOVE IT!!!***UPDATE*** August 25, 2022 *** ~ I wanted to give a brief update about this bag. Over the last two years, I have placed multiple orders of this same exact bag in different colors. I absolutely love it! HOWEVER, the bag I had gotten for the summer months, color of two-toned blue, I have unfortunately had problems with the zipper. I haven't had any issues with any of the bags I have purchased until this one. I had only used it for about a month when the zipper for the main compartment started splitting and opening up randomly. It worries me that it may do that while it is on my back and I can't see it. I am not deducting any stars from my review, since I have loved these bags and have used them every day for the last two years without issues until now. But it seems lately in the reviews there are more and more reports of problems with the zippers splitting open. It is something to be noted for sure. Other than that, I have been very happy with this product overall. ***(Original review) This bag is almost the perfect backpack purse. There is so much to love about this bag. It really becomes the bag you need at any given time. The pictures I attached show how versatile it is. Most days I use it as a purse for errands and shopping, but I can also easily add my day planner and a book for appointments, and on days when I need my notebook for writing, it too can easily fit inside. My zip-around notepad holder is taller than most 3 ring binders and it fits perfectly with no issues zipping it closed.I got the Dark Grey color in this style and really like the color. It does have an undertone of brown. I used this bag during the Fall, October - December, and really loved it for the most part. I didn't have any issues with the zippers at all....they run very smooth for me, and I found the bag to be very durable. No issues with seams, rips, or tears. The outside of the bag is very strong and easy to clean. It is also comfortable to wear. I love all of the pockets and organizational layout of this bag.Now for the cons ~ Like I said, it is ALMOST the perfect bag. There are a couple of annoying issues that might be a deal-breaker for some people. First of all, the straps do not stay in place. They slip and slide way too easily and if I am wearing the bag for a while, I do have to readjust the straps. Even putting it on or taking it off, the straps fall out of place and will need adjusting each time I put it back on. And the second annoying issue is that the material of the bag becomes really pliable over time which makes it a little too floppy. Sometimes I feel like I am fighting the bag to put things in or take things out. I almost dinged a star for this, but honestly, the pros do outweigh the cons for me.I've enjoyed this backpack purse enough that I bought another style from the same brand. That picture is also included. This time I purchased the Light Gray color for the Spring/Summer months. The layout of the purse is similar except the front pocket is a taller one with a flap. The look is a little more sophisticated and not as casual, but I love them both. I will give a full review of the Light Gray flap pocket one after I use it for a while to test out durability.

I fell in love with this as soon as I opened the package! I wanted a purse that would be spacious enough to hold all my stuff and this does the job! The material is so buttery smooth and so are the zippers. Everything feels and works nice. I appreciate the style of the bag as it can go with any outfit or look. The size was bigger than I expected it to be and that's okay because again it holds all my stuff and more. Overall, its definitely worth every penny. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great quality, roomy, and decent bookbag purse.

The bag holds a buuuunch of stuff. Needed something to go on my daughter’s field trip all day, held my lunch bag, a ton of snacks, a book, water bottle, umbrella, and then some. The leather feels nice and it rained off and on and it held up fine. Straps are a little on the thinner side so carrying so much weight all day got a bit uncomfortable but I’ve honestly been using it as my daily bag since the trip. Zippers don’t feel cheap and work nicely as well.

I bought this bag about four years ago and I just bought same bag few moments ago. I just love bag. This has been through everything and still holds nicely. Since it fits perfectly in my life, I couldn’t even find anything to replace it, so I didn’t.

This is the 3rd Cluci backpack I have purchased and they have become my daily "purse". I have it in black, brown, and now grey. Started out with the brown for travel and it is large enough to hold my tablet or laptop, as well as other "purse" essentials. Liked it so much I kept using it daily. Very good quality, and after a year of daily use, nothing was broken or torn so purchased the black and now grey. Numerous pockets inside and out so it's easy to sort things for quick access. The zipper pocket on the back is perfect for my passport,tickets and my phone. It has straps to wear it as a backpack, a shoulder strap and a sturdy loop at the top. Would highly recommend this.

This bag is a must have! It’s the perfect size for quick travels or just to use to throw a couple of items in it. I use this bag when riding my bike are going out of town overnight. I love all the different pockets and the material is of great quality I’ve gotten several compliments on this bag.

I ordered this to use for an upcoming trip. I like it! It is cute and really roomy. It held my iPad and Anton of other stuff. Great find!

The item arrived fine. I was disappointed that there was no separate laptop section. Also the outside pockets were very tight for a water bottle.
