Other than not being the brand specified, this bag is exactly as pictured. I was afraid the canvas would be thin and just for show, but it's not. It's actually thicker than the bag that I already have, the leather is PU, and this is an odd personal thing but I kind of wish it hadn't come pre distressed (Oh well *Shrugs*), the leather is also darker than I thought it would be, also a little bit of sad point, but I'm a little picky on my bags aesthetics. The two front straps are snaps. The magnets are pretty strong. The two side straps are actual buckles. I would have preferred if the leather were a little stiffer just to make it easier to handle as well as for long term uses. One thing I really like about the bag is that the shoulder strap adjusts from both sides, it's a neat feature that I've never seen before and it makes the bag hang a little more even. I do wish it were a little wider and had bottom reinforcement if just to make it hold shape. It fits all of my things that I carry with plenty of space and pockets to put them all neatly. That's not an empty compliment, I'm a very involved student and at the time have four note books, two separate macbook airs, computer charger, earbuds, wallet, two folders, small can of hair spray, hair brush, makeup bag, water, sheet music, and a carp ton of pens. Seriously not kidding, my pen/ highlighter/ white out collection could put a lot of secretary drawers to shame. I'll add an update after about a week of use to see how it holds up. So far my hopes are really high.
