I used to use a nylon backpack.
I replace them about every 2-3 years, so I've used about three so far.

Because it was made of nylon , it would often fade and become worn out over time .

It also looked a bit cheap , so I was a little worried , thinking, "Hasn't this changed since I was a student?"

I also had a lot of trouble with the functionality .
The shoulder straps often came close to breaking and the zipper broke a few times.

Because of its large size , it was sometimes a bit cumbersome to carry.
On crowded trains, I often worried about whether I was bothering the people around me .

And the hardest part was the rainy days .
Because the fabric easily soaks up water, I was constantly worried about whether the contents inside would get wet.

The most important thing is the design .
It looks simple and has no unnecessary elements , which I thought was actually really cool .

I was worried that nylon would always look cheap, so the luxury of genuine leather was appealing.

I decided to buy it because I was attracted not only by its appearance but also by its functionality .

The Zip Mini Tote can hold more than it looks. It also has pockets, making it easy to organize your belongings .

For starters, it's not too big, so I was able to naturally organize my luggage and it felt neat and tidy .

So I was debating between this and a mini tote, but considering I would be using it for commuting, I thought it would be safer to have one with a zipper, so I chose the zip mini tote.

I think it's just the right size .

Although it looks compact, it can easily fit a laptop and is perfectly usable for work.

It's very convenient as you can easily take it with you when you go out for a short while .
To be honest, it's a bit of a hassle to go outside during your lunch break carrying a large business bag.
When I eat lunch, I often have trouble finding a place to put it.

This mini tote is easy to carry around and has a size that makes it easy to store , making it really easy to use.

What I find surprisingly convenient is that it allows me to stand on my own .

When placed on the floor in a cafe or office, it stands upright without tipping over, making it easy to use.

It has a smart appearance , and although it's a small thing, when I used it I thought, "Wow, this is nice."
Also, when I used a backpack, the back of my suit would get wrinkled when I wore it, but with a mini tote I don't have to worry about that, so I'm grateful.

What's more, the design is great because it can be used naturally not only at work but also on holidays .
It doesn't look too business-like even when you go out after work, and it goes well with casual clothes .
