    I bought this bag many many months ago and have been using it regularly. The bag still looks as good as new ❤️

    I rarely go out anywhere without it. The bag can carry a lot of my stuff – keys, books, notebook, pen, glasses, phone and more, lots more. It’s unbelievable how much space it has. And the pockets inside make it easy to keep them organised.

    The best part is – this thing is so cool to carry around. People see it and they love it.

    It’s strong and sturdy, the zipper is smooth and the shoulder strap is solid and long enough to carry it cross body. This is a great buy!!

    One bag to fit them all!

    I’m guilty of carrying a million things- but the Akari has space for everything. Like literally everything.
    My kindle, bottle of water, make up, phones, (bulky) wallet, you name it. Plus it has a concealed zip inside and a pocket to carry knick knacks. Add a cool look and saving the environment to the mix. Now that’s a bag Hermione would approve (and carry around as well)!
