Stella Backpack

So, I love how cute the bag is, and I got it as a Christmas gift. I have a couple minor dilemmas followed by one bigger one. To start, this bag is adorable, I get tons of compliments, and use it every day in highschool. To start, the laptop strap is really loose, so, if you have a smaller laptop it doesn't secure your laptop down very well. (Maybe making it adjustable or at least making the Velcro strips longer). The second is the main buckles, they just don't tighten as much as I'd like and aren't perfectly secure. The third and final dilemma is the shoe compartment, it's incredibly small. I wear size 11 womens (USA sizing), so, yes my feet are larger than normal, but even when I tried my friends size 8 shoes they barely fit, I think the compartment needs to be taller. And I'd like to end it on some recommendations. In the picture I used the backpack for a two day trip, and it worked great, I was even able to use the straps on the bottom for a blanket. Another recommendation is for an airplane carry-on. It's small enough to fit under the seats, but big enough to store a set of clothes, food, electronics, and makeup for your flight. I love this bag, and once these issues are addressed, it will be perfect (at least for me

I love the look, durability, storage compartments, & shoulder comfort. However, I wear size 10 in women’s shoes & the sneaker compartment does not fit my shoes. I will find a way to still use this compartment for something else.

This bookbag is really cute! I love the gingham pattern on the inside and it was one of my primary reasons for choosing this bag. I gave it 4 stars because I can't fit my gym shoes in the shoe compartment. *I'm a size 11/ 11.5 in women's. I can fit flat footwear in the compartment, but just barely. I managed to get the zipper closed after a little bit of force, but you could tell the seams were struggling. So if you have bigger feet be aware.
The bag is hella spacious though and you can fit a ton of stuff inside. I was able to fit the entire dreamsicle fit kit inside (yoga mat on the holder straps) and then some. It fit my 36oz yeti bottle with the cap on as well- so tall and larger water bottles fit in the straps inside and in the outside pockets. The laptop pocket inside was nice as well, but it's not padded. My laptop is 13.3in for reference. I attached some photos of everything I fit inside the bag and pockets. Overall I'm happy with it~

As a media arts student in college I was worried this backpack wouldn’t fit my huion kamvas 15 drawing tablet since Cassie only advertised that the laptop sleeve fit her 13” mac book pro. The sleeve didn’t fit my drawing tablet but the main pocket of the backpack is big enough for it along with a five subject notebook my planner all the cords I need and many, many pens. I would highly recommend this bag for any college student looking for a cute bag to carry to classes.
I am so glad I decided to purchase this backpack.
The only thing I would say if there was going to be a Stella 2.0 would be that the shoe pocket could be a little bigger because it doesn’t fit my size 8.5 running shoes but that’s it.
Overall this is a great backpack I would highly recommend to any college student.

Love it! A great choice for a Christmas present and I’m so excited to use it.
