This was a Christmas gift and it was a huge hit! The Makowsky brand quality with new features (external pouches and cool straps) are much appreciated by my lady. The color (stone) is very seasonal and goes with just about any color clothing. Searched for the "big M" online after Macy's stopped carrying the brand(?) and Amazon came through (again) and made for quite a happy "baby" opening presents on Christmas morning. Thanks for being there, Amazon ... In this case, quite The Santa's helper!
