I'm going to give this five stars for the price, quality, design, and style. It does have a few areas to consider though, depending on how picky you are about bags.
The size is just right for a 3-7 day trip. The corner-to-corner style zip provides for it to lie flat and accessible on a countertop meaning you do not have to rummage through the bag to find an item. The material, although "vegan" (fake) leather, seems high quality enough for a bag in this price point and feels like it will hold up to the wear of travel.
BIG TAKEAWAY - There are many version of this bag available under other "generic" brand labels. I tried about half a dozen and the EACHY bag was by far the best out there. If you are looking for a bag that is this style, pay the extra few dollars for this brand. It will be well worth it.
A few things to consider though:
-The side zip can be a bit clumsy. It is better if you stick your heavier toiletries in the "bottom" section then hold it like a football on the bottom to do the zip.
-For some reason, a few of the models only come with one zipper as opposed to dual zippers. The one zipper models are fine and work, but add to the clumsy aspect of trying to close up the bag. Opt for a model that has two zippers. (I ordered about four different bags and three out of the four had the dual zippers. It is probably just a small version difference between manufacturing runs. Whether you get a dual zip or single zip is most likely luck of the draw.)
-The inside pockets are rather useless. The elastic is not tight enough to hold anything in place.
-Even the "brown" and "tan" models look a bit feminine, but those are the closest you are going to get to any version that is "gender neutral". I understand that this is marketed as a cosmetic bag, so it won't matter to many reading this review, but something to consider if this does.
