First, I did NOT purchase this backpack from Amazon, so this is no reflection on the company. I did purchase this exact one from a local chain store. My daughter used it for a grand total of SIX days of her freshman year of high school before one of the main straps broke. It ripped at the seam, and when I took it apart to look, it seems the cheap faux leather fabric wasnt song enough to withstand being seen through...it ripped right along the sewing holes. While it can be repaired, I imagine it's not going to hold up long if it only made it six days the first go around.  This backpack is way too pricey to be so cheaply made.
