Backpack Purse for Women, PU Leather Anti Theft Travel Purse Shoulder Bags with Tassel

I was tired of trying to carry all of my items in a large and then larger purse that would then fall off my arm as I was handling additional bags when exiting the car or trying to transport my child with his sports equipment to events. I decided a backpack style for a purse is what I need. I bought this particular purse backpack anticipating that for the price, I would see if it would work for me. I have to say I am so surprised at the quality of this item. No one would ever mistake this for anything but a real leather purse even though it is not. I purchased the black backpack purse with brown trim as I know a lighter color will get dirty easier. I love that the large opening with the small pocket sections is next to my back so no one can get in to take any of my personal items if I carry it as a backpack. There are three separate pockets on the front to hold a variety of items as well. There is a very nice long strap that can be attached. I took a picture of it for you as it is a very pretty design. The strap can be utilized if I don’t want to carry it as a backpack. I feel like the design of this backpack purse is one that was thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of women. It is perfect for stashing away items when traveling, carrying needed items like, a make-up bag, cell phone or a laptop, piling in kids snacks, or just stepping out for lunch or dinner. I highly recommend this purse backpack and I am excited to transfer my purse contents to it and begin using it for my day-to-day life.

Update: it does fit my work laptop (Dell) and Owala water bottle, it’s snug but works. Adding a case to the laptop though would make it difficult to close the bag. My MacBook Air (mini) fit much better and has a case on it. Old review: Doesn't fit my laptop and Owala 24oz water bottle at the same time, but this is such a perfect bag. It makes my outfit look 10xs cuter and its still very spacious and comfortable. It holds the water bottle and coffee thermos along with other things, but i wanted to try and squeeze my smaller laptop in there. A laptop can fit without a cover, but its TIGHT and you can't really put anything else large in there after. I'm keeping it and bought the bigger version so I can carry my laptop around sometimes too.

Update: it’s been 2 months of daily use in Europe carrying SO much stuff. And it’s been really adaptable. I’m like a walking advertisement for this backpack, because I love it so much. Wish there was more padding on the shoulders, but otherwise it’s been a great bag. I can carry a ton of stuff for me and kid - including a portable potty, wipes, water bottle, umbrella, tissue, wallet, sunglasses, etc. so much fits into this bag. Hasn’t ripped at the seams, nothing’s coming apart, it’s been amazing! (You can see it in use at @wanderlustphamily on Instagram if you care to) —— Ordered 3 different brands and I liked this one the most! Photo uploaded shows the bags: (left to right) 1) ERFEI: cheapest (by $10), but the fabric outside was much shinier and didn't look as real, and the inside fabric was the same as Cheruty - not as nice as Telena. This is a great, inexpensive option though, as it's a good size and has all the same features as the Cheruty at a discount. However, could not fit my 13" macbook pro, as it's a smaller size. I'm sure if they had a large size, it'd be able to. 2) CHERUTY: This largest bag!! Loved the size of this bag. This is the 2nd best in fabric and quality. Can fit my 13" macbook pro as well without much struggle 3) TELENA: this pleather was the most real looking, and the interior fabric was better quality. I like that the opening was bigger than the others, and the zipper went up higher on the backside than the others, making it easier to put in my macbook pro, even though it's overall size is smaller than the Cheruty. This one seems slightly heavier than the other two as well. I also ordered the Khaki Cheruty Nylon version, and I have to say that I love the pleather look better. Just got the bags, so can't say to durability, but I plan to travel to Europe with it for a few months, so i'll let you know how it lasts! Will update if things fall apart.

Initial order was damaged during shipping but replacement was received lightning fast. The cream color is beautiful and material is so soft, but does scuff and mark easily. The back zipper entry is great for safety but is an adjustment if you're used to a top zipper or open topped bag. It's also easy to accidentally unzip all the way, spilling the entire contents of the bag. There are tons of pockets though and the main compartment alone fit my whole toiletry bag, a book, my wallet and my phone on a recent flight. Fabulous for travel - more spacious than it appears! Overall, great bag.

I bought several different colors of these. I kept one packed with school things when I was still working as a professor, and another held a complete change of casual clothing, a pair of pajamas, and essential toiletries and medications so I was always ready for an overnight trip. I use this as my purse when traveling internationally by plane. I slip my smaller crossbody bag inside, plus all my medications and jewelry bag, plus two changes of underwear, pajamas, a clean shirt and pants. I also have my Android tablet (same size as larger iPad) and even have taken my surface pro 3 laptop. The small crossbody bag has my passport/covid vaccination card case, a small notebook and pen, my earbuds, and my tickets and one of those folding flat hairbrushes. There is still plenty of room to add a last minute magazine or brochure. Once at my destination it becomes my day pack for excursions. The pajamas are out and the jewelry is in the safe, and I add in a water bottle, the day's itinerary, a very small folding umbrella (if appropriate), and a light jacket. Still lots of room. It's lightweight, sturdy and fashionable with the lovely patterns. It is easy to find a particular item since there are lots of inside pockets. The zippers pull easily, the stitching is impeccable, and the design that keeps your valuables far away from thieves is right on target. When getting on the plane, I use the shoulder strap to make it look more purse-like and avoid accusations of having two carry-ons, but use the backpack straps when moving through the airport and on the excursions which makes it easy to carry even when stuffed full. My last trip it did get scuffed up, but I think that was due to overzealous stuffing of the bag under a seat on a small airplane, rather than any flaw with the bag.

I previously had a smaller Lauren Conrad backpack and needed to start carrying my planner and another small notebook in it instead of carrying them in hand and forgetting them in my car or house, but the LC bag was too small. I did a bunch of research on Amazon backpacks and landed on this one. Another reviewer who also did research and compared a few different backpacks was a huge help in convincing me this is the right one for me. I absolutelyyyy love this backpack. I initially thought it would be odd having the main pocket against my back when wearing it, but I'm a big fan of that. I keep the most important things in that pocket so they're more protected being against my body. I love that there are two side pockets; I haven't put drinks in them but I have used them for things I need to stash quickly like keys or change. There are two kind of hidden zipper pockets on the front that are nice for things I might need/want to quickly access but maybe not as frequently as the other side pockets. The amount of pockets in the inside is wonderful and the front pocket it really nice too; it's sometimes a little more tedious to get into but I take that as another security feature, plus I've been used to a flap front pocket instead of zipper. Another nice feature, although I haven't used it yet, is the crossbody strap for flexibility in how you want to carry it. The color is beautiful; I've always been a big fan of camel, and this is a darker maybe more caramel shade and it's so gorgeous. The main pocket fits my planner, notebook, lip balm/stick bag, a couple smaller bags, and wallet with plenty of room to spare. Highly recommend.

I LOVE this backpack! I travel a lot and didn’t like carrying a tote or open top purse in an airport or on a plane. I was searching for something as roomy as a tote but more secure against theft. It is just too easy for someone to reach into and take something from a tote. The first thing I like about this backpack is the multiple carrying options. It has the backpack straps. These are adjustable but not removable. It has a handle so you can carry it in your hand if you wish. And it has a removable single shoulder strap if that’s what you’d prefer. The second thing I really like is the size. It’s a big enough to hold my large wallet, a book, my iPad, and basic things I like to carry on the plane when I travel (ie medication, snacks). It is small enough to be lightweight and fit under the seat in front of me on a plane. I like that I don’t have to put it up in the overhead bin. The third thing I like is the very roomy main storage pocket. I like that this pocket is not divided into sections so that I can easily put the iPad, book, wallet, etc., into it. The inside does have two little pockets for small things like pens and candy and that’s helpful to keep things organized. I also like that this pocket is on the secure side of the backpack. In other words, if I was wearing it as a backpack this zipper is secure against my back and not easily available for someone to unzip and snatch things. The fourth thing I like is the three accessible zip pockets on the other side of the backpack. These are quite roomy and I like that I can stash the shoulder strap in one, chargers and headphones in another, and leave the top one for passport and tickets so that they are easily and quickly reached. One drawback might be if you’re a large water bottle carrier. It does have two little side pockets, but I think these are more phone sized than water bottle sized. I don’t see that a water bottle would fit in these well. It appears to be very well-made. I don’t see any loose stitching. Most of the seams are single stitched, the seam where the back straps and handle strap are attached at the top is double stitched all the way across and triple stitched at each handle. I will update if I have any problems, but at the moment, I am super happy with this purchase!

I want to love it. It looks great but I’ve only been using it a month and the piping is peeling. I’m super disappointed in the quality but I guess it’s not real leather so that’s where it’s wearing or rubbing the most. Just seems like a month is way too soon to see damage.
