I was in the market for a new church bag so I was so excited to come across this one! The bag itself is thick canvas with sturdy handles and a structured body. The stitching is very nice and durable as well, giving me confidence to carry my bible, notebook, pens, highlighters and a pocket in the front for other necessities. There was a small issue with the top zipper (yes it even has a zipper closure on top) which was immediately addressed by customer service, which is also top notch by the way. I highly recommend this bag and would give it more stars if I could! Totally worth it!
