I purchased this pre-owned and, having used it for awhile now, would gladly have paid retail for it. The Nude is pinker than the photo on the product page, which I'm very pleased with. I wish Caraa had more items available in this color! In person, I'd say the material has more of a sheen than the high shine of photos online.
The bag itself is incredibly light but constructed well. I was worried it would feel too flimsy but it can definitely withstand being tossed around a bit. The front pocket is flat which makes it less functional than I usually want out of exterior compartments, but gives the backpack a much sleeker silhouette. The side slip pockets are great for oft-accessed things like hand sanitizer and mask though I'm hard-pressed to find a water bottle that fits comfortably in them. The wallet pocket on the backside of the backpack feels extremely secure - a huge plus for me. The separate laptop compartment is handy for electronics or books, and the mesh pockets on the interior were a surprise and unexpectedly useful! As with most Caraa bags, this comes with an extra zippered shoe/clothing pouch that comes in handy. It's those extra touches that really sell me on this brand...
The key fob is a nice touch especially since the front pocket is so flat, but I have somewhat heavy keys and hanging my keys on the fob tends to pull the front of the backpack in. There are two mesh compartments for waterbottles inside though, so I usually just pop my keys in one of those.…
