Pillo Black

I am a bagaholic so I am very happy to write a review:) Pillo Black is a great bag. I am very impressed with how it was made. I love the shape, the zippers, the pockets. I love that it is a crossbody, tote and backpack all in one. I love the handwritten card that came with it and the very well made mask. Well worth the price and I love using it.

I had been looking for an all-black vertical tote that has a shoulder strap and can carry a laptop. I stumbled across this in my FB feed and am glad that I did. This has everything I've been looking for plus backpack straps and water-resistant zips. The bag is well designed with a few exceptions. The placement of the water bottle pocket makes it such that you can't carry it in backpack mode while carrying a laptop and a bottle. My other gripe is that gunmetal colored snap on the straps, I wish that it were flat black like the rest of the bag. Other than that, you can tell that a lot of thought went into this bag, the pockets are very useful, I love that there are smaller pockets inside the bigger ones so the small items don't get lost at the bottom. The laptop section holds my 15.6 inch HP Envy, it just sticks out of the top a little extra, if only they would have extended the padding a little higher to accommodate up to a 16". It is suspended above the bottom of the bag which is very important for accidental drops. The interior looks white on the pictures, but is more of a silvery-grey color. Overall the quality looks decent for the price and should hold up to a number of years of use.
