Amanda Rausch I just ordered mine too 😍

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

That’s so awesome! I hope you love it! I carried mine recently and it’s still great. Also still loving my aviators. 😊 Thanks so much for watching. Xoxo 🤗💕

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

I hope you love it Charlie! 😊TFW xoxo

[@PurseTrippin]

Thank you so much for this review! You did a great job. Love your honesty really helped me make my choice on buying the bag. Loved all your goodies!

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Hi Kim, you are so welcome! I'm glad it helped. Thanks for the compliments! TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@misskitty4454]

The back pack is sooo Cute, seems to hold quite a bit. I like it...

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks MissKitty! I'm really loving it now that I've figured out how to properly carry it. TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@koynesssaechao6331]

Thank you for this review I just purchased the flap backpack and had concerns but I think I can live with it!

[@RaqReviews]

Thanks for the Review and giving us the pros & cons ❤

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

You’re very welcome 😁 Thanks for watching and haven’t great weekend. 🥰🌸🌷☀️

[@Mitzi73]

Have you seen the Kipling Ravier? It is my favorite purse backpack. Look into it. It is zippered and secure underneath the flap.

[@dianesozio9031]

Mitzi73 I love Kipling. Another under rated brand that is so well made.

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Hi Mitzi, thanks for the tip! I just looked it up. It looks like a really nice backpack. I have a couple Kipling pieces and I love them. They feel great and are so light weight. My travel tote is by Kipling. It's the Art medium tote and I love it. TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

I agree Diane! I love my Kipling pieces. I was on their site "window shopping" the other day. Unfortunately the bag I want is not on sale. :( I will keep watching.

[@DazzleMe77]

Thanks for the review. I was just looking at this one DB. You look so pretty! TFS🌺🌺

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thank you so much Dazzle Me!! This bag is such an easy bag to carry, nice and lightweight. My only issue is the magnetic closure. It's a little fussy sometimes and then I feel like things can fall out. Otherwise it's adorable! Thanks so much for watching and have a great day. xoxo :)

[@jkayeworld650]

Super review! The your backpack is the perfect size and it looks great on you. I like the thought of the snap closure being tight and hard to get into . To me, that the security needed because I would wear on my back. Love the model shots and you look really beautiful. Thanks for sharing!😍😍

[@pokkey]

Cute backpack! 🎒It's a shame that they didn't design a more secure opening for this bag because it's so cute. It's roomy enough without being overwhelmingly large. Thanks for pointing out the design flaws, I think that information will come in handy for anyone seriously considering buying this backback. Btw, your tat looks awesome with that top. 👍😘 TFS. 😊

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Pokk! I agree about the security. I would have put a zipper on this bag and a back pocket with at least a magnetic closure. Getting my cell phone in and out of this bag is kind of cumbersome. Otherwise it was a joy to carry this week and this weekend. Even though backpacks are supposed to be utilitarian it feels chic to me. Thank for the compliment on my top and tat. I appreciate it. :) TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@carilynjurgeson6178]

So cute on you!!! I would see if your local outlet would exchange it for one that does not have cracks in the strap. Even if they don't have that color in stock, they might be able to ship you a new one. Love the navy color with the brown trim.

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Carilyn!!! Great suggestion. This was a final sale because of the extra discount we received on our shopping event. However, sometimes they do let you exchange final sale bags if they are defective. It might be worth a try. TFW and have a great week! xoxo :)

[@LadyBorgia]

Cut backpack!😊👍 I just got a new backpack in a navy blue too, but I haven't reviewed it yet. Sorry to hear about your glasses! Thankfully you found them! It's upsetting to lose things like that even for a little while. I had a Chandler's notebook tho bc our school required it!😊👍 Supporting and thumbs up!

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Hi Lady Borgia!! We are bag twins! Thanks on my glasses. It was a lesson that turned out well. We mostly used our chandlers, well besides homework assignments, for making hearts with "Ivana +...." LOL. Thanks for all of the love and support. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend! xoxo :)

[@AllthingsStyledbyPam]

Hi Ivana!!! I apologize for being late!!! I soo love the nylon backpack!!! It is the perfect size Ivana!!! Omg!!! Thank goodness that they didn’t get run over after falling out of backpack!!! I love your tattoo!!! Back to the bag!!! Lolol!!! I’m so sorry about the cracking Ivana!!! It really is a beautiful bag!!!! But Ivana sometimes these bags drive us crazy because of the money we spend on them lolol!!! I loved your video so much and thank you for your honesty!!!! Xoxo Pam 💖💖💖💖

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Hi Pam!!! Thank you so much! I loved when you said sometimes these bags drive us crazy because of the money we spend on them. LOL! That is so true!!! After carrying it over the weekend out shopping and running around I actually like it. It really served me well in comfort and all around "cuteness" LOL! I have to tell it like it is though because some of these things might be deal breakers for people and if I can help I will. TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@PHoffmanWarEagle]

Thank you! Buying this for a Christmas present! You're pretty :)

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

You’re very welcome! I’m so glad I could help. I hope they love their Christmas gift! It’s a fun little bag! Thanks for watching and have a great week. Xoxo 🥰

[@PHoffmanWarEagle]

@@myPursesuitOfHappiness Are you on FB

[@impursehappy2333]

Beautiful backpack! Good choice in color too!🤗❤️

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks so much! TFW and have a great week! xoxo :)

[@impursehappy2333]

myPursesuitOfHappiness you’re welcome!

[@TraciBTv]

Such a cute bag! Not sure I could deal with a backpack purse. I love navy nylon! I have a Dooney one with a hot pink lining. :)

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Traci! I wasn't sure about it either, but I thought I'd give it a try and I really surprised myself. I really like it. Love that hot pink lining! I have one in black with hot pink. What a pop of color! TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@Purseloved]

Hi Ivana! I like the look and style of the backpack. Thanks for sharing! Xoxo 👍

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Hi Tes Sia, thank so much! TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@joscleo3567]

I'm not a backpan fan.. easy access is a requirement for me which I don't feel you get in a bp..and when I have one on my back I feel vulnerable to pick pocketing. You're looking tan and pretty in your top! Thanks for sharing.

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Hi Jos, thank you for the kind compliments! i appreciate it very much. I agree with you on that. I worry about carrying it on my back for that very reason. I would definitely not do it in a crowded place. I did enjoy carrying it shopping this weekend. However I think a exterior back pocket would have been a great addition to this bag for easy access to my cell phone. TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@ginajohnson7485]

Yes!!!! The Ziggy book bag!!! I had one!!! We must be around the same age. First of all....let me introduce myself! I have watched your video's since you started your channel. But I was WAY to nervous to comment!! Since the dooney meet up, I decided to comment on yours and Joshie's video's. I want to come to the meet up in Vegas next year! So I thought I better start commenting. You are such a beautiful person, on the inside and out!!!! Even though it's my first time commenting.....I feel like you are a friend💜

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Hi Gina, nice to meet you! I am so humbled by your kind comment that I am tearing up. Thank you so much. I can tell you are a beautiful person inside and out too. I hope you can come to the meet up in Vegas. It's truly a one of a kind experience if you're a Dooney fan or just want to hang out with a bunch of genuinely nice people. I'm so glad you decided to comment. Next step...make a video. :) :) :) You remember the Ziggy bookbag? LOL. I'm surprised I remember, it was so long ago. TFW and have a great week! xoxo :)

[@FugiKittyCat]

U need to look into Longchamp bags. They have several tote sizes and cute accessories and a cute backpack too. Let me know if you’ve heard of them?

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

HI Niki, guess what? I got my first Longchamp bag last weekend! I also got a small wallet/card case. I love the wallet, but I haven't carried the tote yet. I have to remember to make a video. Thanks for the tip. TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@FugiKittyCat]

myPursesuitOfHappiness yes plz! Awesome!

[@julieann6444]

I like the look of it on the arm. I would probably end up carrying it that way bc I would be to scared of losing items.

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Julie! I'm feeling better about it now. I slide it so it sits upright and hold it behind me with my arm. I actually wore it as a true backpack out shopping today and it was comfortable. TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@KLMines-dv1pz]

I love that bag. It looks gorgeous.

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Kim!! :) TFW and have a great week! xoxo :)

[@paulineenewman]

Hey Hot Mama. You look Gorgeous! All dolled up. I love the Navy and the bag is tiny like you. It looks good on you. Thank you for sharing my friend. Have a great day and a wonderful week.

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Hey yourself HOTTIE! Thanks for the compliments! I hope you are feeling better. Hugs. :)

[@militarymom6690]

It's a pretty bag. That braided loop is a nice feature. Good to know about making sure its snapped, and that hydrangea pouch works well with it. And I Love your top. TFS🙂

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Military Mom!! I know you like your braided handles! You have a few of those yourself. Thanks for the compliments! TFW and have a great week! xoxo :)

[@bunkie1236]

I got that bag in black for my friend's daughter for high school graduation. I thought it was cute. But, I get what you are saying. The snap thing would bug me. I have some other back packs that do that and I never carry them anymore. The weight in the bag would constantly pull it open. I see you have some thumbs-downers on this video post. Whatever for????? This was very informative and you are always fun to watch. Boo to the thumbs-downers.

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Hi Bunkie, thanks for the kind words about the thumbs downs. To each his own I guess. Hopefully I've helped someone if they were thinking about this bag. The snap has gotten easier. It just took a little practice. LOL. Now that I've figured out how to carry this bag properly it's been really nice while out shopping this weekend. I hope your friends daughter loves it! Congrats on her graduating. TFW and have a great week. Hugs

[@worldgirl2850]

Very cute backpack. You are so funny, I don’t see any resemblance to a penguin! 😂 you look beautiful and your tattoo is awesome! TFS 👍💖😻😻

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Mary Ellen! LOL on the penguin or absence of one. :) Thanks for the compliments! TFW and have a great week! xoxo :)

[@BagsOfLuv]

Ivana it’s a really cute backpack purse and I love the navy color but because of the negatives you mentioned that is why I don’t carry a backpack purses I need to feel that my stuff is secure all the time either by zippers or snap closures. I don’t think I trust the front snap closure. Tfs Hugs Kate

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Kate! I am with you on that. I feel so much better with a zipper at the top. This bag would have been so much better with a zipper and also an exterior back pocket to hold my phone. However once I figured out how to properly carry this bag I'm not so worried about losing anything. I still keep my wallet in the zippered pocket though. TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@asanta2023]

You should look into the Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack. It has a security feature where you can hook it at the top and secures well.

[@valerievasilievas4038]

Great review, Ivana! Love Dooney nylon- it’s very lightweight and sturdy.

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Valerie! TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@laverndb6083]

Cute bag you just inspired me to carry my nylon d&b hobo navy with hot pink lining 😁👍

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Lavern! I am picturing your bag and it's so gorgeous! I love that hot pink lining! Enjoy it! TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@symmetricalastic]

That bag is adorable. Did you keep it or end up returning it?

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks so much! I still have it. I carried it last week and I really enjoyed it. I just have to make sure I close the magnet properly and it stays closed. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend. xoxo :)

[@natasha83196]

Cute bag. Thanks for sharing. I agree it doesn’t seem very secure.

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Natasha! TFW and have a great week! xoxo :)

[@MrsQuesFavoriteThings]

Nice backpack! Thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear that you had issues with it.

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Mrs. Que!! I'm working through them and we are coming to an understanding. :) TFW and have a great week! xoxo :)

[@countrygirl6664]

cute bag i love nylon collection from dooney and bourke i have three nylon bags myself cute bags

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Kelly! I am really starting to love them too! TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@kimberlysmith7025]

$5 she ends up selling the "creature" lol

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Well I still have it. 😊

[@jaydon724]

Very nice bag🙂 It seems to fit a good amount of stuff. I like that it has that handle because I would probably end up carrying it that way. TFS

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Sonja! I use the handle a lot. It's so handy to just grab it that way. Then I sling it over my shoulder and away we go. I shopped and ran errands all weekend and it was so comfortable. Today when Rob and I shopped for a tree at Home Depot I actually wore it like a proper backpack and it was really comfortable and handy. I think I could get used to that. TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@ashleybeauty5901]

OH I like this, Great video !!! xox

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks so much Ashley! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend! xoxo :)

Thanks so much! TFW and have a great week! xoxo :)

[@bagit90]

Thanks for the good review. Those are legitimate concerns to consider. ❤

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

You’re welcome! I’ve used it a bit since this video. I noticed that I just have to be diligent in making sure I snap it closed each time. Thanks for watching and have a great week! Xoxo 🤗💕🌷

[@TerasBoutique]

It’s a cute backpack I ordered it for my daughter but she didn’t like it and I sent it back 🙁 I should have kept it for myself 😂😂😂 tfs ❤️

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Tera! I'm sorry it didn't work out for her. I still think it's adorable. I just fuss with the magnetic snap closure too much so I don't carry it enough. Thanks for watching. xoxo :)

[@andreacody7654]

Hi Ivanna! Love it girl. U look very nice may I say. U go girl! The Tattoo is nice with the top, I'm Jelly ok. If it was I who owned the bag, I'd keep it cause it is an addition and something different. Tell Rob hello and You keep going girl.

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Hi Andrea! Thank you so much for all of the compliments. I really appreciate it. Also, I appreciate the advice and I think it's a great reason to keep it. Despite my clunky start with this bag I really like it a lot. I've carried it shopping all weekend and it really worked out well. I've learned how to carry it the right way and I feel secure now. I will be sure to tell Rob you say hello. Thank you for that. TFW and have a great week! xoxo :)

[@TaylorRose04]

Just bought this bag in khaki 😍

[@jennpiach]

Cute bag. I like it cause its light weight💙💚💛💜

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Jenn! Yes it is and very comfortable! I have a bunch of your videos to catch up on. I will be there. :) TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@DooneyAddict615]

Lol...its a creature. Glad you were able to find your glaases/ case.

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Haha that's all I see now. Thanks!! I was so relieved. TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@donnam7041]

Very cute backpack! 💕

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Donna! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend! xoxo :)

[@jennpiach]

They should have made it with a drawstring.

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

I agree, or maybe even a zipper. I would also add a back pocket. It's a little cumbersome going inside for my phone all the time.

[@trisharamsey5419]

Love your tattoo- looks awesome!

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Trisha! I appreciate the compliment. TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@SuzWhat]

Love the color combo! Great video and I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for sharing...SuzWhat 🌻🌼🌻🌼

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Suz! It's been great carrying it this week. Shopping this weekend was a breeze. I think it will be the perfect bag for the next meetup! TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

Hi 👋🏼. To many cons. Return it! Great review...

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Hi Anna, unfortunately this item was final sale at the outlet because we got our addional discount. It's okay though. I love it! TFW and have a great day! xoxo :)

[@HowdyHandbags]

I think the closure should be just a regular buckle or have a zip closure at the top. Oh..... I love that pouch!

[@AngeAnglade]

first i love that top itgot you showing off your sexy tat.. thanks for sharing such a cute backpack

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks Ange!!! I rarely wear it, but it came in really handy for my tattoo. :) Thanks for watching and have a great weekend! xoxo :)

[@djl6325]

Very nice bag, and a very really nice tattoo, I am curious to hear how your husband likes it now that it is a done deal. :)

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Thanks DJ L! I appreciate the compliments. Rob is funny about it. He warmed up to it the next day after I got it, but he still jokes and makes comments telling me pretty soon I'm going to have a sleeve. LOL! He's thinking of getting his first, but he's not quite sure what he wants. TFW and have a great week! xoxo :)
