Darren Signature Leather Backpack

The straps cannot handle much weight, or the snaps come undone. It always happens right in the middle of chaos like when crossing a busy street or getting on the subway or going through TSA. The "divider" does not go all the way to the bottom of the bag, so smaller items slide around the bottom of the bag. The string ties are very cumbersome to deal with in public places, and it is difficult to keep secure in public transit areas or large crowds. I have never felt this much disdain for a bag. It has possibly put me off the brand entirely.

The inside of these bags shed. I find little black pieces of leather/suede all over my kitchen counter whenever I take something out of the bag. The bags are styled well but the insides should be finished off. This is my second Rebecca Minkoff bag but unfortunately it will be my last. My first bag lasted for a long time, was very durable and had a lining.
