text: Very nice bag, however, it weighs 5.4 lbs., not 3 lbs as advertised. As Int'l carriers only allow carry-on luggage to weigh 15 lbs (7kg), the advertised 3 lb. weight was the deciding factor for me. I am very disappointed. If weight is unimportant, it is a well constructed bag and very attractive. I'm in love with it, however, it is not suitable for the purpose in which it was purchased.
