Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this backpack. It is a great school backpack, which sits very nicely on back and carries all the things you need. It's also amazing for traveling. I packed into this backpack for 4 days. The size (28 L) is perfect. Definitely recommend!

Have in multiple colors

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have this backpack with the rose gold zippers, my daughter has it in light pink. I bought this one for her boyfriend and he takes it everywhere saying how much he loves it. He's in nursing school carrying everything with him in the bag.

I would not buy this product again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unless you're only planning on carrying 2 notebooks and a computer I don't recommend this bag. The second pocket is very poorly designed if you want to actually put stuff in it. When you fully unzip the second pocket the whole pocket just flaps down which makes anything in the main part of that pocket fall out. There is almost no access to the bottom of the main pocket because the top part is so compact. Because of the inaccessibility of the bottom part of the main pocket, this gives makes the bag look weird from the outside and makes it unable to stand up on its own if you sit it on the ground. The bag just falls on its side. The straps are very uncomfortable and If you lean over slightly the strap will slip off of your shoulder. I have had this bag for less than a year (just for school) and the wires on the back have already snapped. Overall this bag is very poorly designed and I would recommend getting a different brand or style of bag.

One size

My daughter got this bag several years ago and used it for everything. I mean everything she did every day. Soccer, school, skiing, overnight bag, travel… after 5 years the zipper broke, so she got this new bag.

Pathetic design of the upper pocket makes this bag very bad.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pathetic design of the upper pocket makes this bag very bad. It's difficult to explain, unfortunately I bought this bag inspite of several review comments about the exact same aspect not being good. I still bought as nothing seemed a problem from the photos, however the upper pocket really is a spoiler. It creates 2 problems at a very high level of review: (1) it makes the bag look very bad from outside when the upper pocket is stuffed with some stuff, however if the lower pocket is not 100% stuffed, the upper part of the bag will bulge out and bottom portion will cave in, and it looks really absurd / odd. (2) upper pocket really blocks your way to reach the bottom of the main bag compartment easily. I have never seen such a poor design of any backpack. I understand perhaps the intent was to create something innovative, but it has turned out a very bad design at the end (both aesthetically and for practical purposes)

I would buy larger version

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] High quality great color, however kind of on the small side. Too small for my lap top.
