Unedited First Impression of Jazza's Carry-All Studio Bags and Art Haul Goodies, too. 

Wow yours turned up so fast! 😂Mine is still probably weeks away so I'll save your video for later as I want to get my first impressions when opening the box too. I'm glad they are actually starting to arrive though - I was wondering if these bags were ever going to be released, lol.

omg i need to watch this! so exciting! 😆

Howdy. I just got the small bag for field sketches. I like it a lot. I also got the Prussian blue and think it is a nice contrast. It was fun to be part of the process. ❤

I'm so glad you posted this. I got the same set of the two bags and the hundred dollars of wet media. I have to be honest, when I opened mine, I was horribly disappointed in the children's quality art supplies that they sent. I ended up getting the water color crayons instead of the sheets of water color. Honestly, I really wish I had gotten the sheets. Instead , it looks like smart art just threw together stuff that they had from previous boxes left over... I'm sorry muse kits I don't think I realized that the bags we're gonna have a plether top. I think I expected them to be a little bit higher quality. But like other people had mentioned I'm kind of wishing I had just spent my money on an actual leather bag and went to an art store and got some high quality supplies. I probably could have spent less. But I was excited just support jazza, And with some of his previous art boxes , I thought that it might actually have a decent value Im glad to see im not the only one underwhelmed

Absolutely wish I was able to order these when they were available. Lol. Just the bags of course. But I never got the chance. Oh well some day. That paper is awful I have tried it twice and never had any luck with it. Used it up for colored pencil practice cause yeah

The bags are looking good! The only Hahnemühle paper I have enjoyed so far is Expression, pure cotton, 300 gsm, cp.

The bags are quite neat :) but the rest of the stuff is not very good (for the $$ you spent on it all :O ) and that paper is horrid!! I had a block bought for my birthday 2 years ago and I hated it, it's the most awful paper I've ever painted on, so I don't think it's worth over $300 at all, but I do like the bags :D

I get to watch yours now, yay! The Prussian Blue colour is pretty; it was my third choice after red and turquoise. I didn't think to try my phone in the small pocket....nope, it doesn't fit, doh! I'm glad you got the tier with the extra art supplies, as I was tempted but it was getting too expensive. I wanted to know what was in there, haha! The water bottle pockets are super annoying and I want a big bottle of water! A number of issues that I would want to fix.

Is the paper shredding because it’s a thin protective sheet? Most blocks have a protective sheet that is not intended to be painted. Hmmm

Aww, poor Jack. He doesn't seem to have luck with the kitties. I like jazza's stuff. I hope youbliid it all, too.

You probably could have got a real leather bag for that much miranda, sorry to be a kill joy but the art supplies look quite cheap as well.

This is such a good review ☺☺☺

OMG, this was fun. I'm a tad obsessed with bags, so this was totally up my alley. Thanks, Miranda!

These bags seem to be very good! I like the little zipper bags on the bigger one. It looks like enough space for the supplies an artist needs ( almost.. 😅 .. not enough for me I guess 🤪) I’m also in love with this yellow ❤ Thanks for sharing Miranda! 🌸

I got a 4 pack of those silicone water cups on Amazon. They are a bit tippy, so I leave the bottom layer not expanded and it’s more stable. They work fine for me and I like having a lid so that any residual water doesn’t end up deposited on stuff in my bag.

Hi, Miranda! (Second attempt - the laptop crashed on the first!) I saw this come up this evening and had to stop and watch it straight away! I'm looking forward to seeing you put it to use. I'd be concerned about the weight of the bag when fully loaded, as it look heavy as it is, with all the padding, and the thick flap. Not sure how long that faux leather will cope with constant use. When I watched Jazza developing the bag, I kept thinking, "This is more a bloke's bag than a Unisex." because it looked so clumsy and heavy. So I'm looking forward to seeing how well it works for your class bag, or as a bag where you'd be carrying it some distance, rather than just to and from the car. The back pack option would alleviate the weight and balance issue, I think. That it won't stand up by itself would irritate me no end, but maybe when you've got some things in it that you use all the time (ie that live in the bag) it might stay upright for taking things out and putting things in? No dedicated space for a modern cell phone seems odd. That pocket would take my 1990's cell phone, or my current 2014 phone, perfectly, but as you demonstrated, not the current monstrosities. The pockets designed for a very slim water bottle seem odd, too, seeming not to take into account that more than half the world's population lives in hot climates. But I also kept thinking that this was more a 'messenger' type of carry-on bag than a dedicated art bag, as he kept talking about space for laptops (where art papers should go) and chargers, cables, etc where paint supplies would need to go. It's certainly that type of design. The little one is nothing special - just a bag of a type that we can buy anywhere, any time. Disappointed with un-named art products as part of your package, but I think you’ll like the Goldfaber watercolour pencils - especially when you use them on a decent paper. The Hahnemühle Britannia paper’s a bit of a shocker! I’ve never used the sample I have, because the very small pad is a rough texture which I don’t like, but your experience with it with the various media really has shocked me! I’d like to see you using the brushes with gouache, and the glass pen, too (on a different paper, obviously!). Having said all this, as I said before, *your reasons for buying these make it worth it for you, and I really am looking forward to being proved totally wrong (about everything but the price tag!)* as you get to use the Studio bag on a regular basis, both for class and for longer treks, in the long term. 😊

We got ours yesterday. So far we are really happy, but they won’t get proper test drives for a while yet. I get the small one for travel and hubby get the bigger one for his primary work bag. They seem a bit heavy, but are still far lighter than my leather ones that are almost the same size. We opted for the dry media package, and it had enough stuff that was new to us to make it worthwhile (markers, light box, etc.). Since we both paint, they wasn’t much duplication with the supplies we already had, so we get to tackle a new challenge too!

The bags look soo good! And I'm not a bag person at all😅 I just put my art kit inside my laptop bag

i wanted to get the small bag but if i remember correctly, it's faux leather and i've had too many of those flake on me so hopefully i can get one if jazza ever brings it back using real leather..

I don't know how much you paid for those bags, but someone in the Comments mentioned over $300. If that's the case, I don't think fake leather and child grade art supplies are worth that price. I would rather get a large leather zipper tote or backpack from Fossil or Michael Kors and pay a heck of a lot less for it than that. My leather Fossil and Michael Kors bags have lasted for years.

I loved your cat at the end! I'm not a fan of the bag but I don't travel much to paint, so I'm clearly not the target audience. 😂

Is the second page on the block misbehaving? The top page is often a protective page.... I'll have to watch the rest of the video to find out. Thanks for sharing and unboxing. It was fun to see.

I have a set of the exact pigment liners I got on a Hobby Lobby clearance, and honestly like them as well as any of the more expensive ones. And I think their blackness is better than my Pitt pens, honestly. I doubt any of this is worth the price, so I hope you got a nice discount for reviewing it. Nice review.

I love bags (art bags or regular totes, etc), but have never heard of Jazza so this was new to me. Converting that amount to Canadian dollars (and probably extra in shipping and duties) would make them crazy expensive for me. I’m really happy with my Etchr Slate mini and Field case which work well for the amount and type of supplies I take with me. I’m honestly not sure what features I’d have to see in a new bag to tempt me into switching or buying an additional art bag? I hope you enjoy them and they work well for you! (Disappointing supplies though. I think I’d rather get fewer extras of higher quality as I’d be more apt to use them.)

Im glad i only ordered the bags, but here in Australia we still havent received ours as yet unfortunately

I'm looking forward to hearing how these work for you when you travel

With what kind of watercolor marker, I find them easier to work with when I apply the color on a palette and then use a wet brush to pick it back up 😅 They do get watered down, but I kind of like the effect.

30:16 🤣🤣🤣🤣

seems like all right bags, would be curious how long they last out in the wild. 🙂

I wasn’t aware the big bag was that big so I’m glad I watched. It also looks really heavy ..maybes you could weigh it for us? My problem with my current bag is how heavy it is so I’m looking for a lighter one. Wish I could find one like that small one but with more pockets.

Great review. I'm not sure I feel it looks worth the pricetag, but I guess until you know how well it handles usage and how long it lives for you can't really know that 🤷 they do look nice enough, but didn't wow me. I expect that maybe I'm not the target audience for this bag. Maybe younger trendier marker/urban artists would find it more useful/enticing? I do like the smaller prussian blue one, but I think it would become a day satchel rather than an art bag, so again wouldn't be able to justify the price I think. I'd love to see a video of you packing/using them.

I was really excited to join this, but the pricing was just so high and I wasn't particularly a fan of a pleather flap, as they always tend to crack on me. (Plus tbh, carrying around a RU-vidr logo didn't appeal to me too much...) The Rollacrit Bag of Holding came out just a short time after for about half the price, so I ended up going for that. While it's not technically an art bag, it's got a lot of similar features and it's been designed to be super durable. I can't really speak for it in action yet, as it doesn't ship until around July, but I have really high hopes for it being my travelling artist/convention bag as well as what I bring with me throughout my masters degree. Would have loved to support Jazza on this one, he's an awesome creator, but it just didn't tick all the boxes for me as far as usability, look, price and quality are concerned, whereas the Rollacrit bag seems to so far! Those art supplies are a choice. A bag marketed toward professional artists coming with kids/student grade kit? Mmm. I don't doubt the value is there, but I think this was a less is more scenario with high quality goods, and it might have been something really special.

Way too much money for the quality and the products. Thanks for sharing.

Great review! You addressed all the issues I was having with the set. Especially since I had to pay an additional 180€ for import taxes and fees, so the bundle cost me way over 500€. I wrote a long feedback comment on his vlog about it which I just discovered was deleted. That disappoints me even more, because I thought Jazza was open to feedback and constructive criticism.

I accidentally refused delivery of mine lol. It’s supposed to come back here. I have all those supplies because I subscribed to muse kits for a few years. 😩 I am secretly hoping they send it back to muse kits now lol.

Beautiful how do you get this bag please

Those skinny side pockets could be for an umbrella.

An art bag without shoulder straps is a big nono for me

You are painting on the protective cover. Remove it to get to the first sheet of paper.

Lovely bags, but the art supplies are a bit of a let down. Most are student quality.
