I have had my CP Chakka for about a year. At first, I was very happy with the style and functionality of the bag but now I will probably not buy another one. After a year, my bag is starting to come apart at some seams. I'm just a normal commuter user, not a super road warrior, so I don't believe it should be coming apart so soon. So, I'm back on Zappos looking for another brand of bag that will hopefully last longer! (Also, I found the strap annoying...constantly sliding off my shoulder and the shoulder pad keeps twisting on the strap.)
I travel a ton and I really need a bag I can use every day. I don't bike and this is not the bag for that. After about a year of heavy daily use including air travel, the bag is already coming apart at the seams. Unsure if its the quality or the abuse. I will be looking for a different bag.
I love this bag. It's so much lighter than my other bags and it feels great to the touch. The only downside is that the pen/cell phone holder/money area I feel was put on the wrong side of the bag. I'm used to it being on the other side of the inside panel. Minor issue but it slows me down when I go for the items I need.
One of my feet measures a 6, the other, 6-1/2. I originally bought these in a 6 but exchanged for a 6-1/2 because they were crazy tight. I've been wearing them for a couple months now, and they're very stretched out. They slip off my heel frequently, and the sides are now a lot wider. After stretching them out initially, they're fine in terms of comfort and they don't show much toe cleavage.
This bag is great for carrying my laptop and a couple legal files. I also liked it for traveling. Easy to get in and out of it with 1 hand, and without clasps (it has magnates). Looks professional enough, but is still casual.

Awesome bag! Sturdy construction with just the right number/kind of storage compartments. Pockets zip close -- not just velcro (which is important to me). Heavy duty clips for the flap and solid stitching. Nice padded inner pocket for my laptop. Only thing I would like added to it would be some sort of ring on the outside that you could clip something to (like a carabiner with a key ring or something). I'm picky about my laptop bags and this one is really good.

Great bag! Perfect for my needs. Very attractive as well as functional. Well constructed. Good quality zippers with many pockets. This replaced another bag which I lost and I prefer this bag by far. If I lost this one, I would be hooking up with Zappos for another one. Great service by Zappos, by the way!
I am normally an 11, so I bought these in 11 in blush and they were so huge, I couldn't actually keep them on my feet - they kept falling off when I tried to walk. So I ordered the 10s, and they were so tight I couldn't get them on. I'm not sure what's up, but something is seriously wrong with the sizing on these. There's also no 10.5. It's really a shame because these are absolutely adorable and they were perfect for my wedding in every other way, but I'm going to keep looking.
I bought this for my boyfriend as a gift. He seems to really like it. The quality is good. My only gripe is that there is only a magnetic closure for the large/main compartment. I wish it had an additional zipper or something. Overall good value for the price.
I picked this up as I live out in the middle of nowhere and the (only) local airline is pretty restrictive on carry-on size. Its nylon exterior helps it slide into under seat storage well. It's not the burliest of bags, but it handled my 15" laptop quite well. It has a number of interior storage/organization options including a zippered pocket. The exterior zippered pocket is fantastically convenient especially in the TSA security line as I'm looking for a place to put my wallet, phone, keys, etc. I also enjoyed the magnetic main flap closure: strong enough to keep it closed, but not so strong you deform the bag to get it open. Perhaps not the most durable bag for everyday use. All in all, a good bag at a great price.
I use this bag to store and transport my art supplies...mainly drawing pads, pencils, etc. It has a lot of compartments that make organizing my supplies easy. It's lightweight in and of itself and fits my needs perfectly.

This bag is awesome! It was a replacement for an old messenger bag that was heavy and hard to carry. This bag is very lightweight and easy to use.

This is a really nice bag for the price. I'm using the bag to carry my laptop, books & lunch to/from work each day by bus & on foot. It's the only laptop messenger I could find that would carry a 17" MacBook Pro and not cost me a fortune. The sleeve for the laptop has a Velcro strap to keep it in place & there is plenty of room for my iPad as well. Inside there is another pouch for other items such as books or notepads. There is also a zipper pouch & smaller pouches for pens, keys, etc. It does get a little too full when I add my lunch, so I've started carrying that in a separate, smaller bag. There are 2 additional zippered pouches on the exterior - one is on the flap. The flap stays secure with a magnet so it's easy to access. The handle strap is adjustable & the bag Is very comfortable to carry across your body. The material is a slick & puffy synthetic, similar to what you may find on a puffy coat. While the material is synthetic, the bag itself appears to be well crafted. My only complaint: I wish there was a smaller handle across the top of the bag to make it easier to grab on the go. I would give up the easy access magnets for this feature.
Great bag for computer, but I wouldn't use it for just books or belongings because it's so big in proportion to my body, unless it's for business w laptop I don't use it. I'm 5'2" tall female so it looks rather big for me. This one would be great for the guys though. I love the pockets, the strap is well made and adjustable w shoulder pad and I love the magnets on the front flap so it closes w/o effort. I'm now buying a bag by JanSport to try for everyday use.

Great bag for casual use. Stylish and professional while still maintaining practicality. It is durable enough for a lappy and a few files, but don't try and overload with textbooks. The shoulder strap could use a little more padding for everyday use.
Bought this bag to replace a messenger bag I'd had for several years and really liked, so it had big shoes to fill. It's met and exceeded the expectations. Initially, I was worried that the large plastic compression straps/fixtures on the front would look and feel cheap. Not the case at all. The nylon and all of the zippers feel extremely weighty and durable. And there are a zillion pockets (large and small) to store things in. I typically take my laptop, a business folder, and all of my tech supplies everywhere and I don't think I've used a 1/3 of the available storage in this thing. I use the small zippered pocket on the side to keep my portable HD in. The pocket on the outside is great for keys or anything small you need to get to quick. It's actually pretty easy to get to the additional smaller pocket under the flap without unhooking the compression straps too, so that's kinda nice. Overall, couldn't be happier with this bag. It was a great choice for me and I probably won't need to go messenger bag shopping again for a long while.
I am rather hard on this bag, but still you expect things to hold up under normal biking conditions for more than a few months. Bought it in July, it's now September and already it is coming apart in several places. It is not good for people whose primary use is as a commuter bag for a cyclist. It doesn't sit well on my back and I'm always having to shift it into place while riding. Also, difficult to get into in a hurry. The front flap is huge and unwieldy, especially if you have anything bulky in the front pocket. Decent looking enough, but only get this is you don't plan on being hard on it.
This bag is really great for my 17" laptop. It's sleek and simple in design. I do wish I could carry it in hand when the bag gets heavy for my shoulder, but I understand that's not the design. The shoulder strap is hard to adjust to a very short position because of the width of the shoulder guard and the buckle, but it's a minor issue. I am glad I purchased it.
I always thought I had skinny legs until I got these boots! If you have any calf at all, you will be stuffing your leg into these boots. With that being said, these boots are super cute. They fit like leggings. I wear a size 7 and the 38 fit perfectly (with thick socks). Although I will be limited to wearing these boots with leggings and skirts only, I love them!
I bought this for my son as a Christmas present. That's December, and it is now June...and the water bottle mesh has separated from the body of the bag. I know that regular use puts stress on the bottle holder, but I've never had a problem like that with any backpack I've used...not even the inexpensive ones you get when you go on a tour! So though my son likes everything else about the bag, I'm disappointed in the quality. A bag should hold together for more than 6 months!
