I got 2 for my girls and they absolutely love them! The back is plain which is perfect because I want to get them embroidered with their names. It’s kind of a pleather material so I might just use the cricket for it. Its a decent size as a vacation bag, which is what we got them for. My girls are 5 and 2 but I would say this would be a nice bag for a teen as well, especially for sleep overs. The front is super soft and we love the details. Awesome bag!!! Love it!!!
