Cora Backpack - Black

Got this for a cruise, now I use it as a diaper bag (I wanted to downsize). The bottom compartment is nice, but it's a significant reduction in space in the main compartment when there is anything in the bottom shoe storage zippered pouch on the bottom. I mostly keep extra straws and applesauce pouches and raisin snack boxes in there, but anything bulkier really limits what you can put in the main compartment. Other than that, it's nice though.

I love this bag. Have used it nearly every day since I received it in the mail! I love the color, all the pockets, the ring for jewelry is genius! However I would say I think the next edition could do some improving. The bag is adjustable however, the straps become loose almost every time after use. I don’t mind readjusting each time I use it but as someone with a bad back, it would be great if they locked in a bit better. Second thing is the material. I love how it feels and the look and the color however after being rained on a few times I noticed some light grey stains forming. It’s very light but noticeable enough so I hope the next edition will have a bit more waterproofing if possible. Finally the zipper, if both zippers are on the top of the bag and the bag is semi full, it will just open. I don’t know why exactly but it’s very embarrassing to have your entire backpack open up on your back while walking. All that being said I love this bag and do not regret my purchase at all, just wanted to put this out so the next one can be even better!

I use this backpack for school and it is PERFECT! Trust me when I say that it is bigger than it looks. I can fit up to three binders as well as two note books, my laptop, and a book; plus I don't need a pencil case with all the beautiful pencil pockets, which also fit 2-3 pencils in them. The bottom is perfect for cleats, gym clothes, ect. so I don't have to go around with six different bags. The interior is GORGEOUS and screams high quality, plus gives it personality. The bag is light weight but very sturdy, and the thick material gives it a beautiful smoothing affect. I can't compliment this bag enough. The only issue I faced was that I couldn't fit my water bottle in the side pocket--- this wasn't advertised, however, and is not a huge deal. Also, the straps don't stay to the length I adjust them to. Otherwise a great bag, if you're looking for a long-lasting backpack this is the one!

I bought this bag to be more visible at night while riding a bicycle and I love the color in the light. Also love the pattern and color of the inner lining. The attached photos show the bag in natural light in a lit room vs a LED flashlight shining on the bag in the dark. I got caught in the rain riding home and the bag kept the contents dry.

However, there are a few quirks that may just be my issues. I prefer to keep my water bottle in the outside pocket, but the drawstring side pockets don't feel deep enough to secure my water bottle. It falls out if the bag tips over and a larger water bottle will make the backpack tip over. The circular key clip is a little difficult to use because it's hard to find the clip piece. Personally, I'd prefer to have the key clip and leash in the front pocket because I use a FOB and if it's in the front pocket then I don't need to take it out to scan. The adjustable straps are on the long side and fly around when I'm riding a bicycle. I'm also only 5'-2" and wear my backpacks higher so a taller person may not have the same issue.

Overall, this bag is functional and fulfills the purpose I purchased it for. I also get a lot of complements on this backpack at the gym. If there were a mini and a full size backpack in Magic Flash I'd buy them all. If there were also a sling in this material, I'd buy one too.

Love the water resistance and all the pockets and LOVE a the color with the subtle rainbows and sparkles. So fun! I use it as a diaper bag, and the pockets are great for organizing. The bottom is great for clothes and spare shoes, and the yoga mat straps are great for hanging shoes when going to the beach and all kinds of other odds and ends like lunch boxes. I would love to see a Popflex lunch box that could attach under the bag on the yoga straps!

I love this bag so much. This fabric is amazing and needs to be put in all bag styles. I would love to see this with a bag style similar to the Kavu rope sling but with Cassey's spin on it. She has the best ideas when it comes to her clothes and bags. I can't wait to use this.
