I’m disappointed in the color. I thought it was going to be black-ish gray. It’s green-gray. The water bottle holder is too snug for my Owala 16 oz. bottle (I guess my bottle is too large in diameter). The snugness made my water bottle pop up, so I kept shoving it down. I finally gave up carrying the bottle at all. I guess the bottle holder fits bottles you buy at a store or gas station. The outer pocket is deep, but I would feel better about putting my phone in there if the pocket was zippered. The key clip is a handy thing, I don’t worry about misplacing my keys, but—the clip seems flimsy and it’s tiny, too. A heavier camping-style carabiner could have been an option. I only ordered the Waxed Ash tote because my favorite pattern (Flores) has been out of stock for over a month. I received a limited-time coupon, so I ordered. I should have waited. Now that I have this bag, no need to buy Flores later, though it’s prettier. I was happy to find that my bag doesn’t have an odor.

This bag is perfect for me and what I’ve been searching for. The only issue I have is the divider in the bag keeps folding onto itself and won’t stay put. Not sure how to stop that. I wish it was just sewn in.

Fabric smells awful- still stinks after one year

Super cute and the handles are a lot more durable than some other bags out there. As a small business owner I carry a bit of stuff with me and this is perfect! Definitely going to get another!!

I love my Maika bag & gets lots of compliments on it!
