I bought the Aquila tote in the color sand. I got the ultimate bundle. So I got all the little bags that come with it at hold everything I need for work it feels well made and I love the color.

This bag is damn near perfect! I gave it 5 stars but due to my hang ups it’s closer to 4.5 stars but technically still worth the 5 star rating.

Where do I start?! Well the color! The almond is beautiful and the teal lining is vibrant and makes it easy to see what’s inside.

I have been using the Almond Aquila since August and I LOVE this bag! I work in a home based environment (I travel to people’s homes) so, my bag literally is like carrying my work desk. I carry ANYTHING I may need during my work day. Since I started my career I have been struggling to find a bag that could do it all and zip closed with all that I need to carry.

Aquila is it! She is a stellar side kick to my daily travels. Heavy…yes but it’s my traveling desk. If you carry a ton like I do I highly recommend snagging a padded strap that is offered as an accessory.

My hang ups?…

The strap drop… I’m not a small girl nor is this a small bag. A 10” drop isn’t enough space. It’s a tight fit and uncomfortable with the amount of things I carry in my bag. I can never use them but the included long strap works wonderfully.

The padded sleeve snap closure it does its job totally. But I just received my first Carina and I opted for the extended closure and it is something I totally wish my almond Aquila had the option for it.

A front pocket- I debate if this is a true hang up because it’s not necessary no not really but I a part of me thinks it would be great to have but again space wise I don’t know if it is suitable or necessary.

My photos just about speak for themselves. Aquila is a work horse of a bag. It can carry my laptop-which I typically don’t unless I am traveling to my agency’s office. But my yearly paper planner, 4 month daily planner, laptop, notebook, Kindle, pens, power bank and cords, my emergency kit, wallet and other basic needs fit in this beauty! But let’s not forget the superior outer pockets for your water bottle/coffee tumbler! I carry both almost all the time and it was a big part of a selling point for me since they typically take up a lot of space in any bag I would carry.

If you need to carry a lot of things on the daily this bag is all sorts of amazing!

My first day taking this bag to work I got caught in a terrible rainstorm. I had to walk 2 blocks to my car. The bag held up beautifully and kept all of my things protected. And I was hands free to hold my umbrella! Best purchase ever!

It is beautiful and spacious.

I just got it the quality is amazing I love the bag and the teal inside color. Perfect size lots of storage.

I just fell in love with this bag the first time I saw it! It’s very functional for me, and it can hold a lot. Great buy!

I needed a new teacher bag and this is perfect! Thank you!

I’ve never found a bag that can hold my large 17” diagonal laptop along with all my other purse stuff that doesn’t look like a briefcase or ugly tote. This is beautiful and does the job. The snap does not close over my laptop as it is 10.5” tall, but it’s not a big deal. The sleeve still fits my full size planner and electronic notebook or iPad beside the laptop. It does get heavy with everything in it, but it’s not terrible. It is large but not obnoxiously so. The black vegan leather is so soft and the blue lining is gorgeous and makes everything inside easy to see. Love all the pockets and versatility. The side pockets are perfect for sunglasses, phone, and my large tumbler cup. I decided to order the Gemini in almond after receiving this so I’d have both styles and 2 colors. Seriously can’t love this more!

It’s all about organization. I was amazed at the room of this bag along with the design setup of the pockets for convenience. This bag allows me to use it for trips, work, and also school. It has multiple uses for me. I used to use briefcases and other totes and backpacks but there was limited space and I had to carry my purse along or use a second bag. I won’t have to do it anymore. This bag is beautiful especially in person. I love it.
