baggallini Soho Laptop Backpack Travel Bag

I bought this 2 weeks ago for a vacation.. I used as a carryon … I absolutely LOVE the easy access to the main storage space. That plus all the great zippers and padded compartments that side and out, makes sunglasses, iPad, credit cards and cash an organized WIN.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a top opening backpack to take on the plane. it is the perfect size, It is very sturdy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backpack has enough room for carry-on swimsuits/coverups (and wine) for boarding day. It works great for off-ship excursions essentials and new purchases. On our final night, it carries our necessities after baggage has been collected. One bag does it all!

This backpack is well constructed and attractive. I bought it for traveling, but the luggage sleeve wasn't wide enough to fit my luggage, and it holds less than expected. It would be great as a large purse or small day pack.

Bought this as a gift for a niece traveling overseas.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this bag to use on a trip to Europe and to be able to organize everything I need for carry on to fit under seats and keep me hands free while touring

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been my personal item as I travel solo through the UK- I really like the little touches on this bag- the zipper is firm so I feel safer that someone can't open it behind me. The little snap on the top. And when I over stuff it, it doesn't need to be closed to function. Bravo!

I was gifted this bag after being obsessed with my aunt's baggallini. I've been using it for going on three years now as my daily bag for work. It's sleek, fits my work laptop perfectly (which I think might only be 13 inches), and I love that it stands up on its own. I have it in black and it shows almost no signs of wear after this long, and nothing has broken yet. I've stored a little bit of everything in this bag at some point. I will note that the reviews that said it is on the small side are correct. It really doesn't fit a ton of odds and ends. It really shines when all you are transporting is your laptop and folders/papers/notebooks because of the boxy shape. The most I have been able to fit in the main compartment has been my laptop, some papers, a composition notebook, a pair of flats, my laptop charger, a tall can of energy drink, and maybe a pair of pants if I am lucky and really need them. I cannot imagine using this as an overnight bag for a trip or anything more than going to and from the office.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this backpack for my son's girlfriend for Christmas. She wanted one that was not bulky, but could fit her laptop, her ipad and a water bottle. She works with children in their home and school and she uses it all day. This backpack fit her needs perfectly! She loves the way it stays open until she closes it! I had looked at many websites and could not find another one that could compete!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter was in need of a new book bag at college. It can be a challenge to find the style she prefers. Fortunately, the Soho was a perfect fit…stylish, sturdy and comfortable.

I bought this backpack in navy to use as an under the seat bag for a trip to Mexico. I love everything about it. I am 5’2” and this bag fit me nicely. The padded straps were very comfortable but as others have said could be a tad shorter. The color is a deep navy, but not so dark as to mistake it for black. Either of the outside zippered pockets were deep enough to handle two passports and plane tickets for an easy grab and were later transferred to an inner zippered pocket, which fit cash as well. The outer side pockets held a narrow aluminum water bottle securely. My large iPad Pro with a bulky cover slid easily into the inner padded sleeve area. It also had room for my thick folder of itinerary. It stood up and did not fall over due to the awesome square bottom design. I was also able to carry a case filled with cords, my over the ears Bose with case, a small pocketbook, three apples and a small box of jewelry. The best part about this bag is the opening with the hinged frame. It makes it so easy to open up fully and pull things out. Other than shortening the straps for us shorter peeps, I have no suggestions on how to improve this backpack, it is a winner.

This bag is great for everyday use and even better for travel. Lots of pockets to store chargers, materials, masks along with the nice padded pocket for your computer. My suggestion for improvement would be a way to secure your water bottle with a clip or a strap. I added my own after the bottle fell out a few times.

This is a great bag in so many ways. I love that it stands up on its own and the way the compartments and pockets are arranged. I've only been using it for a few weeks, but it feels sturdy and well made. One minor thing is that I wish it had a detachable strap for keys like all my other Bagallini bags. But a bigger issue I have is that the straps do not adjust for the bag to sit high enough. With them tightened all the way, the bag hits me in the wrong part of my back, forcing me to lean forward a little when I'm walking (I'm 5' 6"). I had my husband try it on and, cinched as far as it would go, it fit on his back perfectly — and he is 6'1". It would be awesome if the straps could be tightened to accommodate an average sized woman. Not a deal breaker, but still worth mentioning.

I purchased this back pack about 3 months ago and was surprised it no longer had the built in purselet, in addition the quality was much leas superior than the bag I purchased 2 years ago. The straps frayed and the metal is coming through the end of the opening. I am very disappointed and will not purchase again.

I really like the size, it is perfect for taking to work with a water bottle and thermos of coffee as well as lunch and my tablet. I like that it will stand up in its own, and the way the top opens makes it easy to get at everything.
