Could be better.
Once i have all my art materials inside the bag it’s quite difficult to hold onto. The valcro at the front of the bag holds the whole thing together and because the materials are heavy, the valcro easily becomes seperate from the front cover. The bag itself is good quality but if the front cover was a zip for example this would definately be a 5 star review.
Works well
My daughter uses this for school art. Far more sturdy than the clear plastic ones and the strap allows her to carry it onto the bus along with all her other bags.
Looks to be hard wearing too.
Nice bag, shame about the closure of i
Bag is a good size with varying helpful compartments but I do not like the closing set up. The pieces of velcro ison bag are horizontal, but the other velcro on the flap are both vertical and only attached to lining of flap, so you don’t get a the full surface area of the velcro sticking, consequently the flap tends to pull away. Straps would be better and would hold the whole of the flap down.
This bag is great value for money.
Fits A3 pads perfectly and has plenty of room to carry multiple pads, canvas and sketchbooks.
The added 2 pencil cases in their own pockets are a great addition plus the larger pocket for paint brushes.
The long shoulder strap handle is adjustable and sturdy with the added bonus of converting into backpack straps.
Negative point is the closure. It is velcro and when picked up by the top carry handle it pulls on the velcro and causes it to open, i would also not trust the velcro to hold if worn as backpack.
Seen this bag in hobby craft for 35 and got it for way cheaper on amazon. The quality is exactly the same. Waterproof large space for all my equipment. I’ve had multiple carry cases that didn’t hold all my things. But this one is the best one I’ve had yet. Would buy again!
Perfect for what I needed it fo
Loads of pockets, plenty of storage for all my art stuff. Only niggle is that the Velcro doesn’t stick well when lifting by the handle once full, but using the long strap should fix that.
Love it. I wanted a sturdy bag to hold all my art kit, including an A3 drawing board and a small fold up camping table just smaller than A3 when folded, plus all my pencils etc to a life drawing session I attend weekly. It’s the perfect fit but the only downside is that the flap is held in place by Velcro alone so if you use the central handle and there’s a reasonable weight in the bag it will rip open. It needs buckles. If you use the body strap it’s fine.
This bag is life saver as I commute and had to carry my sketchbooks back and forth to uni. My sketchbooks fit in perfectly the max you can put in is three a3 sketchbooks and there is a lot of space for other things to put, the only let down in that the bags closure becomes loose when you hold it from the grip.
The bag itself is fairly sturdy, and holds everything I need it to, unlike other similar A3 folders. My three main problems with this product are: 1) When holding the folder by the handle, it causes the Velcro to become unattached. 2) The loops that the clips go onto move a lot, meaning that the weight of the contents of the bag can be uneven. 3) When using the folder as a backpack, the strap can easily slide through – which happens most when you’re removing the bag from your back; and the bag strap itsel is too short to be used as sufficient handles for that of a backpack.
However due to it being able to carry everything I need it to, as well as being practical and comfortable most of the time, I can put up with some of the product’s faults.
bag is light and compact and will take an A3 pad or 2. The depth is only 80mm so might just squeeze an A4 lever arch file. OK for A4 ring files. Plenty of useful zip pockets. Not sure if the handles straps will hold up with regular heavy loads- have swapped the shoulder strap for one from another bag.
Brought this as a present for my niece who’s at college studying Art & Design and Art History so has to carry two large A3 sketch books most days. This bag is comfortable to carry and plenty wide enough to take both books and various pencils and art equipment.
