My most-used bag all year is a
Black, 6"wide x 8.5" tall embossed croc Backpack from Aldo.
2 zippered compartments. Silver hardware.
With skinny, belt buckle adjustable straps made of matching croc material.
The best part about the backpack is that the material is stiff, so it has structure and
a bit of weight. It keeps its form.
It's also a casual style (backpack), made dainty (small size), and
classy (slightly shiny, croc material).
The only issue I have with this bag is that it can be
just Slightly too small for anything like a journal/tablet/book.
This is post is shopping for a backpack w/ a similar effect,
but a bit larger. 8" wide x 10" tall would be the ideal size to still
look like a small backpack, but able to fit a little bit more.

I've decided I definitely want something slightly different from my current one,
so not just another Black backpack.

11.4" tall x 8.7" wide
A bit big & also I'm not crazy about the sporty straps.

Unfortunately it is also only 0.5" and 0.75" larger than my current one.
8.75" H x 6.5" W x 4" D

Nordstrom Rack did not send me to their Canadian site,
so these above 2 are in USD.
It's the perfect size and it's not boring. It's also real leather and a good price.
Is the opening too annoying?
