Purchased recently at a domestic authorized retailer. I've put items in it, but haven't gone outside with it. It's a current model, and although it's listed as women's, the official website states that it comes in various sizes, so it's fine for men as well. According to the store staff, it's a US model. It has many pockets, a shoe compartment, a drink holder, and can fit a PC. The logo isn't very noticeable, so it's suitable for business use. It's a North Face bag that you won't see others carrying. Thank you for looking.
