I already had one for myself to use as carry on for plane. Ordered another one for my husband. Plenty of room inside for iPad and items needed when traveling. Compartments inside easy access and zippered pockets for items to be kept extra safe. Nice handles to carry or wear as backpack. Material durable and easy to keep clean. Also has strap on back to slide over suitcase handle which is a plus in my book. Great bag!
Great quality, tiny drink holder

Good quality which is rare to find these days. Lots of good padding and it’s heavy duty. It can fit a laptop slightly bigger than 15 inches. The drink holder is super tight/small and Im not able to fit any of my water bottles in it which is a dealbreaker for me as I planned to utilize the drink holder to be as hand free as possible. Otherwise it’s a solid option. I think it’s pricey. $40 would be more of a fair price.
Odd Design

The bag is a nice smaller size, but if you wear it like a backpack, the handles hit you in the head while you are walking. I’m not sure that I will keep it because of the odd handles. I usually don’t carry my backpack by the handles.
Great

Clearly, this was a return item. Came with someone's toiletries in one of the pockets. It's smaller than I anticipated. Purchased to use as a personal item for an upcoming trip. We will see how well it holds up and what all I will be able to fit.

Stylish but not very durable for price

jess - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
I really wanted to give this bag 5 stars! Style is great but the low durability lowers the rating for me. I’ve barely had the backpack for a year and one of the straps is already falling apart. Other than that, I’ve enjoyed using the backpack and would recommend to others with the caveat that you won’t be able to use the backpack long term.

Wonderfully durable and stylish! Also water resistant keeping things dry. It holds my laptop, water bottle and has great pockets inside to organized the things I pack and travel with. I’ve gotten several inquires on where I purchased it.
Must have!

Bought this backpack for work and very pleased! It fits a 16" mac laptop easily but anything bigger than that is a very tight squeeze. Overall very happy with this purchase and it matches my aesthetics.
Fantastic!

This bag is perfect for traveling. There's just enough pockets it's just deep enough and fits under a seat on a plane perfectly. I have no complaints.
Almost perfect.

After a year of continous use as a commuter I find myself looking for another bag. The bag handles are quite uncomfortable as they hit your head while you walk. The material they are made from is not very durable and the threads are ripping off. The interior of the bag is difficult to manage when you have a 15in laptop. The main bag opening doesnt continue past half the bag. If it continued then items within the bag would be much easier accessed. I got this bag on sale for 25 but I really wouldn't pay more.

Quinos Mom - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
Purchased for a recent trip to Europe and it was perfect! The size was just right for the strict carryon restrictions on our airline. It’s a smaller size, yet still ample size for what we needed to have easily accessible during our flight. I appreciate the trolley sleeve and the carry handles at the top which can be secured together with the magnetic snap. Also happy that it’s water resistant as we did get caught in some rain showers during our travel. A bit pricey, but I was lucky to purchase the pretty blue color on sale. When I brought it home and showed my husband he immediately had me purchase a black one for him for our trip. He said this will now be his go-to backpack for travel. Highly recommend. Worth the price.
