I got a lot of compliments on this bag because of the cute graphic. Too bad the stitching that attached the lining to the outer shell came almost completely apart in a month of not even daily or heavy use. This probably resulted from the lining being too much smaller than the bag itself so the stitching ends up carrying too much of the weight. I never carried anything too heavy--at most a couple of regular sized books and light necessities. I can't recommend it.
