Okay, it is indeed big, but this bag is fabulous and really well made. I’ve been looking for one I could love that was stylish and functional, a tall order when it comes to women’s laptop bags. I’m tired of the black nylon versions that you see everywhere; why can’t function and fashion meet? But on this baby the details are beautiful–from the reinforced straps (I bought it to replace my last one from which the straps tore off) to the flat exterior pocket on the back for airline tickets–and as a writer whose laptop is my baby and my livelihood, the egg carton like padding is really appreciated. And personally, I love the plum-colored velvet accents. It is a durable bag in which I fit my camera and peripherals and has a long adjustable strap that I can put diagonally over my shoulders when I’m traveling. This is the bag I’ve been looking for for a long, long time.

Okay, first things first… I want to straighten out some confusion that I had and am sure others have had. There are two models of bag on this page, and all reviews for BOTH models are lumped together. The PINK bag is made for UP TO a 14 inch Laptop. I have a 13.3 inch Sony Viao, it fits perfectly in the included sleeve, with some room for a couple of notebooks or a small textbook, and a bit of room for accessories. A 14 inch Vaio would NOT fit in this bag well, if at all. This is a wonderful bag with a black/pink color scheme, there is NO purple/plum coloring on this bag. The bag is very well padded, I feel like I could drop the thing on concrete with no damage to the computer inside. It is a little excessive. I am planning on removing the included sleeve for use in my regular backpack, which will also make additional space. I LOVE this bag, it is exactly what I had hoped, and exactly what I wanted.

The Green bag is for up to a 15.4 inch laptop…if you don’t have a regular 13 inch Macbook, 13 inch Dell, or 13 Inch viao -or smaller- the green one is the one you should get. It does have plum coloring on it.
