Customer Reviews KEEN Oswego

I purchased the Keen Oswego bag to replace a diaper bag I’ve had for nearly four years that is beginning to wear out. The Keen bag makes a great diaper bag. It’s roomy enough to carry lots of wipes, diapers, board books, a change of clothes for the children, and my personal items. It also has side pockets that can hold sippy cups and bottles. All-in-all the Keen Oswego is a great diaper bag and it doesn’t look like one!

Just received this bag today and love it already! Roomy inside and can fit my 13" laptop in it just fine. Bought it for a Euro vacation and it will work perfectly. Note: The red is a little darker than in the picture, but works well. Strap is easily adjusted and material looks like it can be easily be cleaned. Overall, it's functional, but looks cool too!

The Keen bag is exactly what I needed. The large inside pocket area holds my small laptop, appointment book, wallet and checkbook. Under the flap there is a row of smaller pockets which I use to hold chapstick, pens and pencils, voice recorder and thumb drive, and a note pad. The shoulder strap easily adjust with its seat belt like clasp and the rubber bottom is a useful feature. I take this bag all over, both indoors and out, so having the bottom protected is important. The rubber is thick enough to help the bag stand up. This bag replaced my previous small back pack and is a superior style because it allows me to have my hands free and to carry everything I need. Friends have suggested that it would make a great diaper bag as well.

I LOVE this bag. It replaced a Keen bag I got last spring that had a magnetic closure which ripped through the material. The Oswego closes with Velcro. It is a deep bag, so I sometimes have to rummage for my wallet, but overall, the style and functionality make this bag the best handbag I've ever had. The black color is stylish and never looks dirty, and the fabric keeps my stuff dry in rainy weather when I am out walking around. Also, the rubber “feet” on the bottom make setting it on the floor/ground a non-issue. Also, love the handy side pockets - definitely no more rummaging for my cell phone! The strap is designed to be crossbody, and is very comfortable; the long, thin shape of the bag contributes to a clean, non-bulky look when it is worn crossbody. Fantastic bag all-around!

I am always looking for the perfect bag and I found it. I like to travel light and this bag fits the bill. I carry my iPad a legal pad and a hand full of documents. It will also be excellent for travel.

This bag is perfect for me! I wanted a bag that I could carry across my body while riding my bicycle. I'm a freelance writer and wanted to store a notepad, pencils, etc. This bag is great and very well made. I'm curious how long the velcro will last, but it could probably be replaced if needed. Great pockets, great bag!

I bought this bag for my husband and he loves it. It's beautiful, stylish, and very comfortable bag.

Amazing bag! I loved it since I ordered it and now that I've had it for over a month, I don't regret it whatsoever. I've always liked traditional designer handbags, but I was having horrible shoulder and upper back pain from lugging my life around in one-shoulder handbags so I opted for this cross-body bag and have felt great relief since. The black Oswego bag goes just fine with business casual. I've seen other folks with the maroon version of this bag and it has a very zen/going-to-yoga feel. Think of it as a toned-down Timbuktu bag. In a nutshell, this is a great investment. You'll be able to keep everything organized in this spacious (but not too big) cross-body bag. You don't have to worry about it losing its shape or bulking up at your side. Your back will thank you. ;-)

A wonderfully practical purse that holds everything, sits upright and doesn't get soiled. I find it efficient, good-looking and built for travel. Had an earlier version for about five years, then replace it. To get five years from an everyday purse is great.

I really like this bag, and having a neck injury, carrying a regular purse or cumbersome bag just doesn't work for me. This bag is great! I use it for work and can carry everything, from near nothing to several items. It does get heavy once filled, but because of the crossbody style, I can never tell. Everybody ought to own one.

Zappos is #1 in customer service every time! I love my Keen Oswego! It's larger that I thought, however it's still perfect. The color is beautiful!

Best of the best. I have the ocean blue one. Tough as nails -- been using it for 3 years, almost daily, and it still looks like new. Like the rubber bottom, which I don't need to worry about if I've set it down on wet surfaces. The strap goes over my shoulder securely and doesn't have any movable parts in the strap connection.

I bought this bag for a extended trip to Europe and didn't want the shoulder pain from carrying a purse. This was a great choice, not too big and not too small. Color was perfect.

Easy access to side pockets, front, back, and inside pockets. Holds a lot more than you'd think. Comfortable and padded shoulder strap. I use it for everyday work use and it's held up well and gotten many compliments. No real use for the silver buckle in the front unless, I suppose, you don't want someone to access the inside easily.

Absolutely love this bag. My husband is tired of me saying so. I use it as a purse. It is the perfect fit, comfortable, I can organize my things perfectly so they are incredibly accessible. I have had lots of positive comments on the bag. I have a special child and I need to carry quite a few items. The strap is awesome and lends itself to the utmost comfort. Thank you Zappos. You are the best!

This bag is just what I wanted. I liked it so much, I bought a different color also. It's big enough to handle anything you are going to need, including everything from the other purse, and still room for water, book, pencil and paper, or whatever you prefer, and small enough to carry anywhere you go. The strap is large enough to balance the weight of the contents and doesn't hurt the shoulder. The strap can cross the body or hang from the shoulder. Very good for travel. What I enjoy is the pockets on the inside to place credit cards, money and even lipstick or chapstick. There is 2 pockets on the outside for a cell phone, money, or whatever you need, and don't have to get into the bag.

I have had this bag over the summer and have used it for many different things from work to replacing a diaper bag. It works great! I was a bit leery about just the velcro/buckle but it stays closed well. It is just the right size for my needs.

Love this bag, ordered it yesterday got it today! It is perfect for our trip to Italy next month. Roomy enough for all my sightseeing stuff, yet small enough to feel comfortable. Glad I got it.

LOVE IT! This is the absolute most perfect bag! I bought this because I am going on a trip and wanted something other than a backpack to carry. I don't bring much on a plane (i.e. book, wallet, phone, water bottle) so this is the perfect size. But! I was so tickled with it when it came, I started using it to run errands with. Having two young children, you can put some diapers, wipes, snacks, and small toys in there along with the stuff you need, too. It's a cool post-baby bag for moms. Plus, I love the adjustable strap that you can sling the bag over your shoulder, or cross it over your body comfortably. If my husband would let me, I'd buy another one.

I bought this for a handbag but it's just too big I will use it for a travel bag. It is very well made and I do like it but not for an everyday handbag.

It probably sounds strange to describe a bag as "comfortable", but that's one way I'd describe this bag. The strap is wide, lies flat on my shoulder, and is easily adjustable. It's more than long enough for my 5'10" height. I wear the strap across my body and the bag lies nice and flat against my side. Although the bag is a little larger than I really need for every day, a file folder or my laptop will fit inside it on the days I need them. The outside pockets fit my cell phone and sunglasses. I love being able to easily find what I'm looking for without having to dig for it!

Love the bag - It is a great bag for a mom with two small boys. I can fit diapers, extra socks, hot wheels, snacks, and two drinks, and still look stylish.

Great bag - I have truly enjoyed this bag. It worked great when we were on vacation, it can hold a ton of stuff, even a magazine or book. It is really very convenient. I use it as a daily purse and although it is more than I need everyday, I love it.

Great Bag - I bought this bag for my husband who shuddered at the thought of a man using a bag like this to carry his equipment. This bag is so well made and such a good value for the price I decided to keep it for myself. It makes a great book bag, all around tote and during travels holds the overnight stuff we all need to carry on the plane.
