Overall, a awesome bag at premium quality that i can highly recommend.
Bought a zero messenger medium, and a smaller one about a year ago, they still look as NEW, incredible.
But please, find a way if possible to lower shipping charges to NL.

I'm not certain you make my bag any more. One of my friends tried to order one like mine but could not find it on your website and settled for something very similar. I'm wondering if my bag was redesigned. In any case, I love mine, but hers is better!
Mine is more like a camera bag and hers is more like a purse. I use mine for a purse, so the lighter weight that hers is would be better for me.
For mine: It is a very nice looking bag, the sides do not collapse when I open it (big win!) I love the pockets. All zippers and fasteners are very sturdy. My only two complaints are: 1) it is heavy and 2) I have a fastener (like the kind that fastens a bicycle helmet beneath the chin) that I do not use and I wish were optional or removable. Overall the pros outweigh the cons by a huge amount. I wish I could split the fifth star in half. It is really a 4 1/2 :)
In any case, I love it and keep up the good work!

I have a regular Commuter which I love love love. Seriously, it's my favorite bag of all time and I want to take it everywhere.
However, there are times I go places that I don't need that big of a bag. I want something I can use to keep me organized, big enough for my iPad and Kindle, and doesn't scream "work bag".
The Mini Commuter in Graphite Tweed (Mine has black binding) is the perfect bag for me!
I can keep my iPad, kindle, iPad bluetooth keyboard, ipod, knitting project, wallet, phone, various cords, external battery, make up, medicine, moleskin, various pens/etc in it without overstuffing it!
For a small bag, it holds a lot! And the graphite tweed is just lovely. I hope Rickshaw keeps it in stock going forward. It makes the bag nice enough to use as a large purse, the waterproof backing leaves me secure in the rain, the padding makes me secure of my tech toys.
I love the inclusion of the Shhhh and Riiiip options! I was never a fan of magnets on bags until my Rickshaw bags. Again, would like to have some way to pull the buckle up so it's not hanging because that is the one single detraction from this bag. May try the velcro trick here.
Go with the tweed- it is very pretty and I've received multiple compliments on this bag already. As someone who likes to be prepared, this bag has room for more than you would think. I can't wait to take it on my upcoming road trips!

I've had this bag for a few days and it's nearly perfect for my needs to/from work and when I'm out and about. It is attractive and light and the magnet open/close is the best! It holds just enough of what I need to get around. Here are a few things I would improve on:
1. Put netting on the external side pockets so it can expand and hold a water bottle.
2. Make the bag a touch wider and perhaps a bit taller so we can fit in a folder or some papers without bending the edges. Right now, I have papers in there but it's just a bit cramped.
I love this bag and am looking forward to putting it through the ringer! Oh and the customer service at Rickshaw is amazing! I called to tell them was going out of town and they expediated my order so I had it to use in time. Thanks, Rickshaw!!
