The North Face Isabella Backpack - Women's - 1200cu in

I love this, it's the perfect sie to carry from class-to-class, and it's extremely comfortable. I got it for Christmas last year, and I couldn't have asked for a more suitable backpack!

It is just what my sister wanted for college.

It's okay. :)

I just bought this backpack today, and I already love it! I've never had a backpack fit so well. I went in wanting to get a Jansport and walked out with The North Face Isabella. I recently started to commute by bike for my summer classes (only 2-3 miles away from campus), so I needed something to hold my essentials (change of clothes, food, water, wallet, etc.) and not be bulky. The Isabella's internal dividers were more than able to accommodate my belongings, and the bag still felt reasonably light and very comfortable on my ride home! Very cute at the same time!

I personally hate big school back pack because it looks so ugly, but isabella is perfect size and sososo comfortable! also I bought this backpack during the sale, as $45, it was very nice price too!

I love the fit of this bag. The straps are designed to fit a womens figure comfortably. The side pockets require bottles lesser in diameter than a 32oz Nalgene. As for laptop computers, the backpack can fit a laptop, at the expense of adding other items, and risking possible damage due to the lack of protection.

I got this backpack right before starting college. I found that it is not the largest backpack out there but I don't carry a lot with me to class so it is perfect. I found that a few notebooks and maybe two books is all that it can handle. I especially love all of the different pockets for organizing. I would definitely recommend this backpack if you are not looking to carry much with you.

The backpack was cute, but I didn't realize how small it was.

Perfect for college! Holds a fair amount of books, etc. Very comfortable even when loaded down. Great backpack, great service. Would purchase again. Thanks!

I was looking for a backpack to replace the gigantic L.L. Bean one that has served me for a few years. It was most important to me to have a pack that would lie flat on my back--especially if it was not very full. This bag totally fits the bill. It has a slim profile and is the perfect size for a smaller framed woman. I actually was quite impressed with what it can hold, as some of the reviews made me nervous it would be too small. But, I can fit a pair of shoes, a lunch, a change of clothes, a few magazines, an umbrella, a water bottle, and tons of personal items without feeling weighed down. Great for biking, walking, just about anything! (And the gray/pink combo is feminine without being obnoxious.)

The Isabella is a cute book bag and it gets the job done. As a Teenage girl i like my bags to be small so i look cute and dainty and this book bag does just with the added surprise of being able to carry all my books which is why i give the Isabella a 5.

I didn't realize how small it was when I ordered it, when the backpack arrived at my house I was tempted to give it to my 7 year old neighbor. It's really small. But I love the coloring and the style, it just doesn't have enough space.

I am a petite gal (5'2" and 100 lbs) with very narrow shoulders. I cannot wear "regular size" backpacks because the straps slip off my shoulders and pin my arms backwards---really painful, and you feel like you're going to tip over! This pack has a smaller shoulder harness that fits fantastically on a petite figure. My only complaint is that it does not hold a lot of stuff. OK, so maybe a 100 lb girl shouldn't be carrying anything too heavy, but when I go on day hikes I don't have quite enough room for all my gear. The water bottle pocket is small and won't hold bigger bottles, which is also aggravating. However since it's the only backpack I've ever found that actually FITS me, I'll give up the extra space for comfort.

this is the perfect size for some books, a notebook or two, all your personal stuff (phone, ipod, cosmetics, etc.) plus water and snacks. a laptop also fits nicely and is well-protected. looks SNAZZY, and holds a LOT for its size - a SUPER pack!

This purchase was for my daughter who is a senior in high school. She needed a backpack to last her thru college. She did all the research, made a wise choice and I of course provided the funds which I was glad to do. She loves it!

I was very excited when I got my new item. It fits everything I need for school. I removed the waist strap though because I have no use for it. The color isn't the shade I expected it to be, but I like it better the way it is. Very comfortable too...

I had a Jansport... I am very impressed with THE NORTH FACE. Excellent!

The Isabella suits me and all my needs for high school. It fits everything I need when I need it throughout the day.

This backpack is the best I've ever had.. It fits my small frame very well, and holds a tremendous amount of heavy textbooks. Also, no matter how much I put in it, there is almost no strain on my back. It was a great investment.

I use this backpack for school. It's smaller than most backpacks, and probably doesn't have as much room as others, but I can still pack in everything I need - including an ultra-portable laptop. There's a lot of intuitive compartments to stick your small stuff in too. With all the stuff I cram in there, it gets pretty heavy, but it's extremely comfortable to carry on your back. It's like ergonomically correct or something like that. I can trek across campus and not have the same problems that I would have with other backpacks I've used before. And of course, since it's The North Face brand, it's well-made, and I really doubt it will fall apart on me no matter how much stuff is in it or how long it hangs on my back. I highly recommend it for students with small laptops - 12" or smaller.

My daughter loves the backpack. Great for college. Thanks!

This pack greatly reduced the amount of weight on my back. Not only is it cute, it is great for a student. It can expand to hold big trapper keepers and books as well, but still keeps the weight off. This is definitely designed for people with heavy loads. I am a college student, so my load can be very large at times and I was starting to have back pains from my oversized pack--but this pack can handle large loads without putting all of the weight directly on the back. It's cute too.

We purchased the Isabella for a school back pack - it was way too small for that purpose - we returned it for a Mentor and are perfectly thrilled with the room that pack offers

I was so excited to receive my Isabella (North Face- pink/grey) back pack. It is so cute! :) I can't wait to use it, it's the perfect size for all the stuff I need for my classes. Thanks for the Great business......Will definitely do business with this site :) ~Kyri Meyers~

I'm absolutely thrilled with this purchase. I was an owner of Jansport for many, many years (From high school to college), and of course, Jansport makes great backpacks that last a long time. In fact, mine lasted nearly eight years and is still in great condition without a single rip or tear. However, I was getting a little tired of the typical Jansport Classic look and wanted something a little more stylish and different for graduate school. First, I purchased the Jansport Wasabi from this site due to its cute colors, stylish design, and affordable price. It was a great backpack, but it was too big for my current needs. Too long, bulky, and big on my back. I'm a 5'4 female with a petite frame and I definitely didn't want to carry a load that was too big. I returned the Jansport and after hours of research on the internet, I finally decided on the Isabella. This one, I absolutely LOVE. I was a little worried that it may be too small but no, it’s great for my notebook, textbook, as well as few paperbacks. Despite its smaller size, it is able to fit a lot of books. I can even fit two paper backs in the front compartment! I love the colors, the sleek design, and the size that flatters a smaller female body. This is definitely the perfect backpack for any females that want a backpack that will carry all their school necessities (Even work and baby things) without too much extra space. Perfect for daily use. I feel that this backpack will fit any small to medium sized females up to 5'6 or 5'7 without a problem. This one is more pricey than other backpacks, but I'm still glad I decided to invest an extra 20-30 dollars for this one because I know it'll last me a long time. Plus, I love its design and size—it was definitely worth it.

I bought this backpack mainly because of the reviews. Pretty much because people were like "I’m short. This backpack rocks!" I agree completely.

I love my North Face Isabella backpack. It is the perfect size for what I was looking to put into it. I love The North face and all the other packs were either too big or too small. This was just the right size. Your site was the only one who still had any in stock.

After owning many packs that never fit or worked well, the Isabella is the perfect pack for a woman! Just the right size, fit and weight. Plenty roomy for long day hikes, yet not too large for lighter uses. I first ordered the Slingshot Backpack, it’s too big. This has most of the same features except that the water bottle holders are smaller and do not hold the standard Nalgene bottles. If you are shopping for a pack, go no further than the Isabella! The sage green/black is gorgeous!

This backpack is perfect for a small girl like me who's only 5'1. It’s made to fit a woman's body and that's exactly what it does. Fits great, looks great, great backpack!

I have gone through several backpacks that felt too big (I am tall, but have a small frame) and were uncomfortable. I bought this one based on the reviews posted here, and I am glad I did. This backpack is on the small side, as the others said, but I find it holds what I need for school. It just feels like part of my body—no straps cutting into me or shifting of the contents to put me off balance. My back is so much happier. Plus, it is a very well-made pack. I know it will last for years to come.

It’s not big enough that you can carry along all your dozen textbooks, but big enough to carry the ones you need. I carry my big orange file and a >1000 pages thick text plus my wallet, cell, etc. It has a lot of dividers to organize your stuff. All in all, somebody who is looking for a compact but spacious backpack will like this one. I think a big laptop won't fit in it but the smaller 10.4" one's will. Hope this was useful.

Being almost 6 feet tall, I wasn't sure if this backpack would be big enough for me, but it fits well and doesn't look too small. I can easily fit my Dell Inspiron 600m inside, along with other small items. This backpack is ideal for a light load or just around campus—don't plan on storing much more than is needed for say, an overnighter. Overall, a nice sturdy backpack and a good deal for the money.

This backpack is perfect for the college campus, and even though it doesn't have a laptop sleeve built into it, you can still slide a small 12in laptop in one of its file sleeves! It’s a great pack and it was just what I needed!

My new women's Isabella Backpack is perfect for me. I commute via train/bike/bus to work and it is small, lightweight and holds everything I need in an organized fashion.

I thoroughly enjoy my pack, as I do not feel as if I can overload it, as I have a tendency to do. It is comfortable, though I somewhat wish that the waist belt were thicker, for I feel as it would be of more use that way. All in all, I like it.

I absolutely love this backpack. As a full time student, I went through a couple backpacks to find what I liked and this one is perfect. It holds a lot despite its petite size, and it has all the perfect organizer pockets for schoolstuff like pens, calculators and disks. Also it is really comfortable on the back, and quite stylish.
