It is really hard to find a good - looking backpack which can contain my 13” inch laptop,1000ml water bottle, and some other work essentials.i love the design of 3 different compartments , especially the outer one which allows me to take out my keys and badge easily!

The only thing I am concerned about is after using one month only , some scratches appeared. I suppose it was rubbed when I was squeezed in elevators and buses.

Probably my most expensive bag to date, but it was such a beautiful design that I couldn’t resist. I use it as a school/work bag and it holds my 13” iPad Pro + keyboard, an A4 folder (which is a bit of a squeeze but it fits), a thin notebook, my planner, and some other miscellaneous stuff. It’s a little less spacious than I expected, but it holds everything I need, so I don’t have any complaints.

The photos don’t capture it too well, but the black is a good neutral black. It is not as cool/blueish toned as the promotional photos make it out to be, which I appreciated because one of the reasons I was hesitating to buy it was because I thought it would be “too” black, if that makes any sense.

I love the hidden pocket in the front of the bag; it’s subtle but has a lot of space for any quick access necessities like keys or your phone. Also really like the two-way double zippers—so many bags only have single directional zippers and half the time it zips to the back which I *hate* since I prefer the zippers going to the front.

My only gripes about the bag is that the feet are functionally useless since the base of the bag isn’t structured enough to maintain a level of flatness that prevents the bottom of the bag from dipping down, and that there isn’t a separated laptop compartment. Not deal breakers, but it would have been appreciated.

I have had this bag for well over a week and a half and I am so obsessed over my work bag - it reminds me of my Candy Sugar bag (it’s basically the Japanese school girl bag) that I took to school - but elevated ✨

It literally fits everything with room to spare, this is the following stuff I carry in my bag:

- 14 inch dell laptop 💻

- My mini ikea shopping bag 🛍️

- My headset for work 🎧

- Notebook 📔

- My ergonomic mouse (in that little red goldfish pouch) 🐭

- All my other tech gear in the sardine pouch 🔌

- My little first aid kit (the long baguette pouch) ⛑️

- A small pouch for my lippies 💄

- Keys wallet, dettol wipes, mints, two packs of tissues, a pad, digestive tea bag, umbrella, work ID, hand cream, hand sani 👛

- It also comes with a key strap with the bag that I hook my mini Swiss Army knife and a tigger nail clipper 🇨🇭

- Also pack my emergency chocolates 🍫

Also, she isn’t just a handbag, she is a backpack also and a shoulder/cross body bag.

And the details, 😚👌🏼, a card holder (for my travel card), and a front pocket which has a magnetic closure and a button closure to keep the hand straps together.

Worth every USD (with the shotty AUD conversion rate) I spent on this bag - in this economy.

Also, it is leather and not an overpriced PU faux leather bag.

Two things I would change is handle points and the D ring points for extra reinforcement so the bag can keep it shape as it slouches a bit (especially if you’re in the shoulder strap mode)

As…

This is a great travel bag. I received it this last Sunday and brought it with me on my Memorial Day weekend trip. It is perfect as a personal carry on item. Not too big but it fits a ton of items. Great quality and I really like the versatility of being able to wear it as a backpack or shoulder bag and even sliding it onto my luggage. I love it!
