BagBase Retro Shoulder Bag

As a student, I found this bag great for school. It fits all of my stuff, primarily due to base which is wider than the top, unlike most bags which get narrower.This is the only messenger bag I have found to fit all of my school books, and it seems more durable than the others so I think it can cope with the stress, if not I will update this review. Since buying, a lot of my friends have bought the same bag, and the variety of colours makes it a great choice.All in all a great buy and for a great price, the only thing I would say is there is a plastic section in the middle which is used to split the main compartment, which I have no use for. I push this plastic to the back and there is no problem, so not really a negative at all, just a feature which I find unnecessary.Edit: 8 months on this bag is still going strong, leaving me a very happy customer. Worthwhile purchase and highly recommended.

Very happy with the bag , I bought it for my partner for his work and he loves it very good quality and delivery was on time.

Paid around £11 for this in March 2024. One month on I am pretty happy with the bag.Quality is decent, bag is roomy. Not super stylish but I like the understated look. Zip seems fairly solid. It has a small pocket inside useful for train tickets, pens, a pack of polos etc. No padding inside the bag so not much use as a laptop bag but doesnt claim to be. The strap has enough adjustablilty to make it comfortable unless you are some kind of giant. The budget of the bag means that the strap is not padded so may cut into the shoulder a bit if you have just a t shirt on and a bit of weight in the bag but this is not really a complaint.28cm in height, tapers a bit on length from bottom to top so around 42cm wide at the base tapering up to around 40cm at the zip end. Again the depth is tapered so 17cm wide at the base finishing at around 13cm at the zip end.Works great for me for small shopping trips, Got a pair of jeans, 2 t shirts, a couple of blu rays, a paperback novel and a bottle of water in here the other day with room to spare. Not a prestige item by any means but for the price this is probably better than you might expect.

Despite how it was delivered (over the fence to my NEIGHBOURS flat) this is a great bag. Good size, nice long strap and lots of zipped compartments. Great value for money.

Bought it for work to replace a far more expensive worn out bag . Absolutely brilliant, certainly for the money. Simple, understated and has enough compartments. Would highly recommend.

I'm very pleased with the shoulder bag it's light with easy to use zips like the retro lock I have a bad back and additional nerve damage in my body so was looking for a bag which was light and practical just what I wanted

Not a bad bag.I bought this bag for work for my work 'gear' and so far it has done a good job.It feels well made and is rather sturdy. It has a stiff pad at the bottom that keeps it shape.The zipper is small, it may sound like a strange issue but it is noticeable how small it is.Other than than, it is a good bag for the price.

Very good quality. Very happy with the purchase. My personal preference is not to have the white lines and I planned to paint over them with a black Permanent Marker when I got the bag. I did this (took only 10 minutes) and it now looks like a black laptop briefcase rather than a retro-style student sport-bag. But that was my personal preference and I recommend the bag even if you prefer it with the white lines on!
