I had been wanting to buy a kavu rope bag for about 2 years now and finally decided that it would be worth it for the upcoming camping trips I had. This bag is amazing. It's the perfect size, comfortable and stylish all in one! I purchased the berry punch color and LOVE it! Everyone compliments me on my bag and asks where I got it because they haven't seen this pattern before. Would strongly recommend to friends!!

I love my rope bag. It is the perfect size for an on the go teenager. I attend several camps during the summer months and is durable and has held up perfectly. The shipping was fantastic and i received my order within two days.

I bought this because I need both hands free to wrangle my two little girls and I hate backpacks. It's much roomier than I thought, and has two separate main compartments so I'm able to keep my own stuff separate from the kid's stuff. The zippers run the whole length of the bag making it really easy to find stuff. There's a lot of complaints about the little pockets being too little to be useful, but I've found them to be really handy for stuff like bandaids and sunscreen sticks that would otherwise get swallowed up in a large pocket. The rope strap design disperses the weight on your shoulder and makes this really comfortable to carry. This bag is so much better than carrying a purse or a diaper bag or god forbid both. It fits my current casual-Birkinstock-mom aesthetic, too.

Great bag. Durable, convenient, has great compartments. So much better than a purse for travel. I gave it 4 stars for style because for a bag it's a great style, but a purse is still cuter. It's much more comfortable than a purse though. Love this bag.

Wanted a hands-free bag for a summer music festival (BONNAROO!!!) and a friend had gotten one like this in the Meadow print. Love how lightweight and durable this is. I recently got a bicycle and I bike to the gym every day and this bag is PERFECT. While it is not really that big, I can fit a towel, a liter water bottle, keys, my long bike chain, sunglasses, phone, and a light jacket in it with a bit of room to spare. I love how easy it is. The multiple pockets are an amazing feature, and while it was expensive, it is durable and I know I will use it until it falls apart. This particular print matches the colors on the rope as well, which is great. (Not all prints match the colors on the rope.)The interior color is blue, which is also cute. Overall, lovely, efficient, spacious, and embodies the Bonnaroovian spirit, while still being useful enough to utilize every day. I give it 4.5 stars! (.5 of a star taken off for the inconvenience of its initial expense!)

I absolutely love this bag! Super cute! I use it instead of a diaper bag for my 17 month old and it's perfect!

Love this bag! Large enough to carry essentials, without it being cumbersome. Easy access to all compartments even if you just shoulder it! This was perfect was my visit to Israel!

Great bag. Comfortable to wear and sporty. Exterior phone pocket is too small, but interior pockets are roomy and easy to access. Fitting full-sizes papers (8x11) is a little tight but possible. Made of canvas which isn't entirely obvious in picture. Very happy with purchase and would recommend.

I love this bag! Exactly what I was looking for. It's made really well. The ropes are actually very soft and pliable. I was able to pack it up with all the snacks for the kids, wallet, wipes, sunglasses, iPhone etc. Comfortably. The only bummer is the bottom front pocket has such a small zipper it is hard to even fit keys into. The top pocket fits the iPhone, but not perfect fit. It's slightly small for an iPhone but you are able to get it in and close Velcro. The inside pockets are roomy. It sits very comfortably on your back so your arms are free if you are chasing after little ones at the park, etc. Also, I am bigger and didn't expect cross strap to fit comfortably but it did! It is a very roomy strap.

This is the "IT" item for girls 12 and up! Surprisingly, the bag holds a lot more than what it seems. My daughter got one for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. She does not leave home without it.

This bag became very popular at school so of course I had to get one. I had no idea what I was getting, but as soon as I received it I've absolutely loved it! I will be getting many more in different colors!

This bag has been fabulous. At times it feels a little small but that was the reason I bought it. Also, that helps me limit the amount of stuff I throw into it. I used it traveling and it made me feel very safe with the hidden pocket and wrap around design. Overall, I'm loving it!

Love this bag! I bought it for a recent trip to Disney World and it was perfect! It fit my large Nikon DSLR camera, sunscreen, a couple bottles of water, my large wallet, and other odds and ends I needed to carry for my kids. My favorite part was how comfortable and stylish it is. It lays nicely across the back and shoulders and doesn't bounce around. It's easy to adjust for different sizes as well, my husband could carry it, and even my 10 year old liked it!

I got this bag for my 8 year old step daughter for her birthday and she loved it! I got my oldest step daughter one back in August. So of course because she had one, she wanted one. It's very roomy and lots of pockets. They both use them for school and for overnight bags. The colors are a little darker than what they appear in the photo but she didn't even notice.

My granddaughter wanted this bag for her birthday in October, so her mom sent me the info to order it. Unfortunately, when I clicked on the order, I ordered the wrong color. I discovered this the very next day after I placed the order. I quickly called Zappos and told them about my mistake. They cancelled the first order and shipped the correct order that very day. My granddaughter's bag arrived on time and she is thrilled with it. She is in college and carries it everyday to hold her books and her purse items. The purse was exactly as pictured and my granddaugher loves it. I cannot say enough good things about Zappos as they saved the day for me.

This bag is very nice but not as large as I would like. It has 2 big zippered openings each side. I can carry a lot in it but it all ends up in a jumble and I sometimes have to dig around for what I need so I finally got smaller individual bags for certain items then I could easily grab what I needed. Would love it to have more zippered pockets. It is stylish and comfortable to wear. It's also rainproof so you don't have to worry about ending up with a soggy bag. I would recommend this bag.

This is a nice size bag and well made. It just didn't work for my needs. I wanted to use it for a Therapy Dog gear and my folding mat didn't fit in it very well. It's well made and lovely colors. If I hadn't wanted for a specific use I would have kept it. Very cute for general use.

I like this bag. Is a good size. I love the outside two pockets for phone and keys. I can always find them easily. There’s one really big inside pocket and a small (a little too small, in my opinion) zippered pocket. There’s another large zippered compartment. If you’re wearing the bag and swing it around and unzip that pocket, everything will fall out of it. Not sure I’m going to keep it for that reason. But it’s darling. And would work well if you always took the bag off.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
I wanted to love this bag. I love the way it looks and the pattern I picked but there are several functional flaws. The pockets on the front - useless. They are too small for anything you would want quick access to (phone, wallet, etc). I put my sunglasses and lip balm in the velcro pocket and headphones in zip pocket. So because of these pockets, I have to dig for my wallet in the big compartments when I need it.
I also bought it because I wanted to use one side for my camera and two lenses and the other side for my purse stuff. It works but the bulkiness of stuff in one pocket affects the amount of space in the other pocket since they overlap.
Overall, I love the way it looks and how it wears but I don’t think it will be an everyday bag for me. Maybe for just hiking trips and things like that.

I love this bag. I put my phone in the zipper part in the middle. The top pocket that I think is for a phone is too small so I put my keys there. It is super comfortable on my shoulders. I get compliments on it all the time. Just ordered one for my daughter because she loves it so much. I have 2 kids so I throw my water bottle, snacks, wallet, & a small bag with band-aids, itch cream, & mom essentials when we head out the door. Perfect for a day out at a theme park, hiking, or just going to the park. I would recommend this to any mom or anyone who leaves home early in the morning & gets home late at night.

Awesome as always. Love Kavu bags. So far it's holding up well. I do agree that there isn't a great place to put your phone (the little pocket on the front is too small for an Iphone 6 or larger. But that's not a deal breaker for me.

This bag was a perfect size for a Disney trip to carry the essentials for my family (sunscreen, water bottle etc). I liked the pocket layout, but the only drawback was the rope strap hit by collar bone in a weird spot and became rather uncomfortable after just a day. I dealt with it and kept switching sides, but I wish the strap was a little softer. Overall a nice size bag.

I'm a "buy a cheap purse every 3 months" kind of girl. I have two kids 2 and under and it's always a struggle finding a purse that can accommodate carrying a kid on a hip and holding the hand of another. This back pack style is great for my purse because it doesn't fall off my shoulder or get in the way while hip holding a child. Cons: -You cannot put anything really thick in the right side zipper pouch or it interferes with the main left pouch. -Outer storage pockets are basically useless. My iPhone does not fit in the "cellphone" pocket. Ideal for a smaller phone, maybe a Blackberry, but I don't think those are very common these days. The lower zippered storage pocket does not open very wide so even 3 chopsticks barely fit and cannot retrieve them very easily. I love this bag for the pure comfort of using it with kids and that wins over the Cons.

I purchased this bag to use as a day pack while traveling. It turned out great. I was able to fit in a small bag of cosmetics and hand sanitizer, 2 passports, a wallet, an iPad, a 7 inch tablet, 2 phones and some other misc items. Held up great. Only improvement would be a double zipper on the pouches that could be secured with a small lock to protect against pickpockets. Instead I safety pinned the zipper to the fabric or wore it under my arm in crowded areas.
