5th Ave Leather Backpack - Ash

Very good quality and the changeable straps are so easy to use. It's the most practical bag I own that also looks fantastic! I love that the zipper goes all the way down the sides of the bag making the opening very easy to access. The front pocket is also conveniently spacious and well designed. The only thing I would say is I thought the bag would be bigger to make use of all the different compartments. I knew the bag was small but I didn't realise how much the middle compartment takes up in space, especially once you have something inside it becomes very cramped and tight. You can't have bulky items (larger than a wallet) in the middle compartment and the outer sections. It's not physically possible. The bag is just not big enough to have use out of all three ... MoreVery good quality and the changeable straps are so easy to use. It's the most practical bag I own that also looks fantastic!

You can't have bulky items (larger than a wallet) in the middle compartment and the outer sections. It's not physically possible. The bag is just not big enough to have use out of all three different inner sections at once (unless you are carrying a sheet of paper). If I could take out the middle compartment, the body of the bag would be large enough to carry quite a lot of things with ease rather than segmenting then into smaller compartments. Of course it wouldn't be organised, but It would make it easier to at least put my hand in and feel around for what I'm after. As it is I have to take everything out first to find what I'm after at the bottom.

Roomy backpack with many ways to attach the strap. The pink faux suede is nice and it has lots of compartments. As a reviewer said earlier, the main compartment should have that zipped dividing pocket removed so you can fit larger things (still fits a 600ml bottle), it already has a zipped inside pocket. The straps seem reasonably strong but I have noticed a thread pulling though (from production)?

I love the quality of the leather and all the pockets. The bag is very structured so it takes a little longer to adjust items to fit-like my sunglasses in their case, I can't just toss things in. I do like that the center pocket inside moves easily to accommodate larger items. Really would have preferred silver hardware with the gray.

Fantastic little bag. Great quality, looks brilliant and perfect for every day/causal use. I've had lots of comments on this one. Love it! Side note: I bought a dress from Belle amp; Bloom first. It didn't fit. The customer service and communication was excellent. The return was super easy and the customer service top class.

I love my new backpack! Its stylish, sleek, can be worn in multiple ways and the quality is superb. It was so beautifully packaged. My only nit pick is I wish it had a small handle. I hang my back at home and unless i change the straps from backpack to large should handle, I cannot hang it up. Also, this is a very stiff bag, so what you see is what you get. I wouldnt call it a soft leather, its made to stand up on a table. Overall, I got many compliments at work with my new bag.

Almost perfect

It’s almost has everything I wanted but it was heavy so made it uncomfortable to wear and it needs an handle on top of the bag. I love the zipper on the back. It’s a great place to secure my wallet. I love the full zipper to access inside.However, the middle zip pocket doesn’t permit full openness. Maybe redo the design with light, great quality leather that’s soft to touch but with the structure look.

Awesome backpack!

I love this backpack! The gray color is beautiful and the gold accents make it look very classy. The light pinky-peach lining makes it easy to locate everything inside and the center divider helps with organization. The front snap pocket is convenient for cosmetics or other miscellaneous items. The two zipper outside pockets are handy, although they’re a bit too snug to fit my iPhone 10. I do store it vertically in the zipper pocket in the back, and find that it stays securely in place when caring it or wearing it as a backpack. Great purchase at a fantastic price!

Belle and bloom backpack.

I love the bag, perfect size and lots of External pockets. I just wish it was a little more flexible as the bag is very stiff so can be hard to get things out of it. It may soften with time we shall see.

Disappointing bag quality

I purchased this online through Myer. I had high hopes for this backpack as it costed $229.95 and it looked wonderful from the photos however when I received it, the leather on the bag looked extremely faded (more vintage looking) and had noticeable splotchy colouring. Additionally, the bag looked scratched and that was very concerning. I ended up returning this bag for a full refund and Myer was extremely understanding and issued it to me.My advice to others is that they should go in-store to check the bag in person so they can ensure the bag texture and quality is to their liking.

Solid for the price!

Solid backpack for the price. It’s heavy, typical for leather. Zippers were a little hard to manipulate at first, not a problem after some use. Wish it had a handle at the top for grasping, but other than that, a good purchase. I like the overall look, wish had been offered in other colors.
