The reviewer reports that the inner retaining snap barely closes over a 13-inch MacBook Pro, and its metal hardware faces the computer. The reviewer says the outer material feels like tightly woven polyester with a soft peached surface, laminated to a flexible but rigid structural layer. Both exterior and lining fabrics contain recycled content, while the internal structure supplies stiffness that keeps the bag upright on its flat base.
The reviewer observed careful stitching, clean interior organization, and support for the externally mounted leather handles inside the Featherweight Tote. The six-and-a-half-inch handles work for hand carrying, but the reviewer found shoulder carrying tight and uncomfortable during use.
