The reviewer considers the Shine bag youthful, expecting it to appeal more to teenagers and people in their early twenties. The Shine laptop bag uses shiny vinyl with white canvas piping, while the reviewed color was Pink and Black and Silver were also available. The bag can be carried using its handles or a removable, adjustable shoulder strap, providing two carrying options.
Dual zippers open the main compartment to a padded, fuzzy-lined laptop sleeve that easily accommodated the reviewer’s 15-inch MacBook Pro. The reviewer found the workmanship sound, specifically noting even stitching, robust seams, and adequate hardware.
