Bad zipper and handles

The zipper was horrendous. The double handle was also pointless. It made it even more difficult to access the awful zipper.

For a backpack holds a lot

For a mini size backpack holds a lot. I can fit a regular size water bottle and my essential that I need. The only thing I do not like is the zippers. Yes they are strong because they are metal but reaching in for items I have been scratched by the metal zippers.

Good bag

Nice bag. I’m quite satisfied. I’d like a second inside pocket or sleeve and would prefer nylon instead of metal zippers. But a really nice bag

Impractically small

I love a little backpack because I hate purses and love to be hands free. And although I can fit almost everything I need (adding a small umbrella is tough but I need that at all times because I work and walk in a city), the opening of the bag is so small it’s really hard to get in there and find anything. The zipper also bites me whenever my hands get near it. Just wish the opening was wider and the whole thing a bit bigger.

Too small for my needs

Bring back the regular nova, with the side pockets for a water bottle and the striped lining… It was a few inches bigger in every direction. This size is just too tiny for the modern woman.

Zipper hurts, very stiff

Zipper cuts your hands as you reach in and the bag is super stiff so it doesn’t relax when opening to reach your hands in. No side pocket like I though it had (there’s a seam that makes it look like one)

So cute, with some caveats

The material is very stiff, the handles on top are a little in the way of the zipper, the zipper is a little stiff and can be hard to pull smoothly, BUT I like the look of it a lot, and am keeping it and using it.
