I would say that notebag is ok
I would say that notebag is ok. I won’t be going and encouraging friends to buy them in droves and the only reason I’ll probably buy anything else if the gift card that came with purchase. Shipping: a bit of a nightmare. I didn’t realize these were shipping directly from China. It takes a bit. I ordered a bag and matching wallet, they were shipped separately and showed up almost a week apart. My SO ordered minutes after me, his wallet came in about a week before my bag, his bag hasn’t shown up yet. So if you’re doing this as gift give yourself a good month leeway. The bag itself: it feels sturdy and as a type of briefcase bag it’d probably be fine. I paid for the strap, so I can cross use it as a purse and I’m not sure it was worth it. The strap is thin and feels frail. It’s too small to be comfortable and bites into my skin painfully. The pockets are smaller than I realized. The lack of useable organization space is frustration as use of a purse. I have bags from Box Lunch of similar quality and cost that have better storage options. The image is more blurred than in the pictures. I’m sure this is part of the printing process but it just doesn’t look as nice as online. Also, all the thread looking bits on the pictures are printed on. Cost wise this makes sense but I thought at least the tag would be sewn on. The wallet: it just came and I haven’t had time to use. It’s wider than I expected and I’ll be limited in what bags I can use it with. I did a matching wallet (it’s an option when checking out). I paid the extra for personalization on my bag and assumed that would reflect to the wallet. It did not. It has a blank printed ‘tag’ in the wallet that is clearly missing a detail. If people choose not to personalize then the tag shouldn’t be present. I did a personalization on the bag because I was worried that would be the case. Super disappointed in the wallet. Overall, not what I expected. Not the best. Not the worst. I’m a bit disappointed.
