For starters, I do really like this bag. Like all the other reviews have stated, it is roomy, stylish, and eco-friendly. My one major gripe is that I purchased this bag in the "Blue Profusion" color and feel like the product I received was more green overall than the representative photo indicated. It isn't something I'm willing to return over - this bag is wonderful - just something that peeved me a bit when I first opened it.
I love this little bag! The front zipper area carries everything out of my wallet with room to add more cards, etc. The main zipper has room for cash, change and small sundries. Phone fits in the back pocket for easy access. The gray flowers are darling. Ordering the orange next. Perfect for a minimalist!
I really like this satchel. It has two small size zipper pockets on the front of the outside. I use one for my cell phone and the other I use for my lip gloss, mirror and pill case. The long zipper pocket on the back side I use for my long size index wallet. Inside there are two pockets, one on each side of the purse. One is a zipper closure the other side Velcro. There is enough room for my iPad in the center. I have my Ipad in a compact leather case that is an easy fit. I am not sure if an Otter Box (for Ipad) would slip in and out as easy though. I can wear the strap on one shoulder or cross body very comfortably. It is a really nice attractive, comfortable, accommodating bag!

It is a great traveling case for my iPad. It is very well padded and keeps the iPad safe. It is also a very cheerful, fun item!
I needed a bigger bag to carry my stuff and my iPad. This accommodates my iPad 2 (in a padded case), and my other belongings in a nicely organized and relative compact bag. It's perfect for my needs. I love all the pockets (which run the full length of the bag), and especially the back pocket. This replaces a Kipling bag that I had, which would have been perfect if it only had a back pocket.Every pocket and section zips up. I can see this being a great travel bag both for its features and the amount of stuff it will carry.
I searched for 9 months for the perfect commute-to-work bag. I needed it to have a compartment for papers that was separate from where I put my lunch. I really enjoy this bag. The side pocket expands enough to hold a thermal coffee mug. It distributes the weight well when worn on the shoulder. It seemed much lighter when I had it directly on my body then when I attached it to the suitcase handle. The entire design is not embroidered -- the leaves are mainly a relief cutout. I'll have to see how this hold up over time. The only problem is that one of the hook & latch strips on the inside has come undone and is falling off - not great quality for a bag at this price, but I'm not returning it over that.
My case arrived yesterday and I love, love, love it! It's padded so I don't have to worry about my iPad in my purse. I also have an etch a sketch case on mine and it still fits it nice and snug. Plus it is made really nice! I would definitely recommend this!
I really like this purse. It has a lot of pockets for organization. The only problem I have had is the zipper gets stuck on the material and this makes it difficult to open and close.
Very cute bag! It is actually worth the price. I purchased the olive color and the contrasting yellow inside the bag is very catchy and appealing. I have received many compliments. The bag is roomy, has many compartments, and I have yet to be able to fill it. The optional straps are nice. The only complaint I would have is the smaller strap can get in the way of searching through the bag and you have no way of removing it, releasing it, or lengthening it to overcome this small annoyance. I actually considered cutting it off but resisted. I chose just to put up with it and eventually I just became used to it being there and really don't notice it anymore. 4 stars overall due to the strap.
The Jaunt 2 has a neat, trim profile due to its tapered (narrower at the top) shape. It holds more than its apparent size suggests. The colorful yellow interior contrasts nicely with your stuff, making it easier to spot what you're looking for. I have a tendency to carry everything but the kitchen sink in my purse, but when I need a medium size bag the Jaunt 2 does the job nicely.
I too am going crazy over the squeaky noise....I am about ready to return the purse but may try the saddle soap fix to see if it stops. I like the fabric and colors but the strap definitely needs tweaking. I think there are enough negative reviews to warrant our complaints. Maybe you should send those of us who purchased the bag a new strap if this problem is solved in the near future. Thanks.
I am mainly writing to help the people with the "squeak" problem. Simple solution...Google for help. I found via Google that something as simple as saddle soap rubbed on the metal ring stops the squeaking in its tracks. So this is definitely not a deal breaker. Holds everything I need. Could be more spacious, but I purposely bought this bag in order to make myself scale down so that I could actually find things when I was looking for them. Great color selection and design. I love that these bags do not look like the older Haiku bags which in my humble opinion were getting played out and were too common. These are great!

This is a great bag that combines cute with function. The padding is good and my iPad slides in with the protective cover, no problem. The velcro closure is very secure. The handle and shoulder strap are a bonus - I can throw it over my neck/shoulder and go hands free. I get so many compliments on this bag and I love it!
I love this purse! it is literally everything I want from a purse. It is sleek and compact, yet very roomy inside, with plenty of pockets for organizing all my stuff. The color is much richer and more saturated in person and just gorgeous. As some others have noted, the hardware did squeak at first. Once the nylon straps broke in and soften up a bit that stopped. either that, or I stopped noticing. :) at any rate, its not a problem.
Very cute purse. Bought it to be my name travel purse. I love the multiple pockets. It's a smaller purse, but perfect size for when I want to travel lighter. Easy to match with.
Cute case for my iPad. Lots of padding, so it adds some bulk when you put it in your bag. Since it does protect my iPad well, it was a wise purchase.
I love the multitude of pockets and pretty design. The strap is easily adjustable. My main complaint is the plastic buckle for the flap on the front. If you don't keep it buckled, it clatters when you walk. I like to keep my cellphone in that pocket, so I am in and out of it a lot, so it can be a pain to re-buckle it every time I put my phone away. Also, if the flap tends to get folded upward, depending on how you set it down or if it falls over. Would have been better to have a magnetic catch.
I thought the other reviewers might be too picky when they complained about the bag being squeaky. Well, they weren't. I love this bag. Love the magnetic front pocket, love that it is very simple. But the squeaking is enough to make me crazy! My kids even make fun of my loud purse... they can hear me coming. The noise didn't bother me until it was too late to return it (although fantastic, Zappos might have taken it back anyway). Hoping the squeaking fades as the bag gets more wear. Ugh!
I ordered the Olive print of this wallet. And was thrown off with the color when it arrived. I thought it had more of a gray tint. However, it is very much green, I guess I should have paid attention to the name of the color/print. Zappos has super speedy delivery. I ordered this yesterday and received it today!
