Review: Instinctive Bags Bamboo Messenger Laptop Bag from CSN Stores

Ordering from CSN Stores:

Remember this post when I told you I needed a new school bag? I finally made my mind and ordered it! I placed my order on December 1st, and on the very same day I received an email to inform me that it has been shipped. The estimated delivery date was on or before December 15 but I received it on December 9, which is amazingly fast!

What I think: 


One of the most important thing I had in mind when chosing my school bag was the comfort of the shoulder strap, as well, I have to carry my bag around all day. This one is adjustable and padded, so it's perfect! The strap length is very good too (it's also adjustable), as I prefer to wear my bag low on my back.


Another important thing was the space available, as I carry lots of stuff with me when I go to school (netbook, books, pencil case, makeup bag, wallet, water bottle, food...). The main compartment is quite large, and there's even a padded laptop sleeve, so that means I don't even need to carry my own! But I would have like even more compartments (the ones on the outside are small and not very practical).


I made a little video to show you the details of the bag:
