text: Well I've used this bag all summer but not because I love it. Even debated sending it back. The pros outweigh the one con. I thought synthetics were lighter weight than leather but this bag is soooo much heavier than any of my other bags, leather or vinyl. I use it as a commuter bag so it's chocked full of my stuff which makes it even heavier. And being so full it sags on the bottom. I guess I've kept and used it so much because of the size and three inside accessory pockets, perfect for phone, lip stuff, sunglasses. I'm shopping for a new bag and will be noting shipping weights.
