Just collected my AGVA Style Council bag yesterday from Ripplevox (73a, Tanjong Pagar Road).
Some background info:
I found this assignment from ripplevox (AGVA Style Council), direct link .
Overall, the design looks stylish. Kinda of like the weaving flora that covers the right side of the bag. The words "Style Council" will not be obvious when people see from far. It is dark brown although not obvious in the picture. [taken with my camera fone (low resolution)].
Personally, I prefer a thicker strap and a better padding to enhance comfort when sling. In addition, due to the design, there will be crease marks on both sides of the bag (when sling), which is unsightly. Maybe, "U" shape design can be used on the side of the flaps to prevent the crease marks.
The interior comprises of 3 compartments with 1 zipped pocket. 
The back of the bag comes with a small useful handle. In addition, it comes with a waist band to secure the bag. However, I prefer nylon based buckle or customised stainless steel hook, as opposed to normal metal hook.

Interior comes with an adjustable velcro divider that cushioned the notebook from other stuff. It comes with a series of small organiser pockets which are quite useful. However, as the bag is fully sponged up, the content you can put in is quite limited. When I finished packing, it created a very "packed" impression although it did not pack much inside. This is caused by the cushion lining that created air buffers. Personally, I feel that the bag does not need to be entirely sponged up to provide the necessary protection. A cushioned compartment with air buffers at the bottom will provide equivalent support.

My rating for the bag is 7 / 10.
