text: This is my second bag because I loved the first one so much. The first after months of heavy use started ripping, but having paid $20+ I decided to repurchase. I used the new one for the first time on a 5 day business trip. By day one I saw some slight ripping, after 4days only threads are holding up the handles. I bought a canvas just in case it completely broke. The bag carried only a laptop(on days 1 and 5 only), an iPad and a note book, pens so it was not laden (like the first bag) . Very disappointed. I will see about a replacement /refund.
