It looks sleek enough to use at work without looking like a student. The material does attract dust and dirt. The only thing I wish it had was an interior pocket in the inside of the zip, and the top handles were long enough to be a tote to carry on the shoulder.
If you have flat items it's great like a book, laptop and maybe a small water bottle. Nothing too bulky. Happy to have it in my rotation .

Wanted something like a tote bag and this has backpack straps too. Really works for me. Like the trefoil styling and the material. Lots of space for a water bottle or notebooks
