This bag is wonderful. Great construction, looks expensive, nice pickets and magnet closure. I just love it, especially for the price. Seems like this company mostly gears towards men but I find this bag perfect for women and for work. The size is great and fits everything I need and I finally have a pocket for my coffee mug. Wanted the green originally but went with the black since it seems more universal. I am very happy with this purchase.

This is my favorite every day bag. Excellently executed interior pockets, including the two water bottle one. Two perfect exterior ones, just the right size for phones and lipgloss.

I've taken this bag with me for travel and to a business conference. Pros: - It's so light! It weights about as much as a canvas bag. - Light colored interior makes it easy to find items. - Medium size is roomy enough to fit my 15.6" laptop - Excellent, thoughtful organization. Very convenient and roomy pockets. I appreciate that there aren't too many random pockets and zippers for me to have trouble finding anything. - I loved using the front and back slits for items I need to pull out quickly like my phone, wallet, and business cards. - Can be dressed up or down. - Sturdy handles. I never worried about them not holding up under abuse. Cons: - The magnets are weak and don't stay closed. They didn't stay closed a single time I was carrying the bag on my shoulder. I didn't appreciate that the bag kept gaping open and giving anyone taller than me a good peek inside. - Unlike zippers, the magnets make it impossible to close the bag if it's anywhere near full. I couldn't close the bag at all when I had both my laptop and tumbler in the bag. I was worried about items falling out when I had the bag stored sideways in front of me on a plane (it did fit under the seat perfectly). - The handles are slippery, no grip. They kept slipping off my shoulders. - The twist in the handles delivered a distracting tactile experience for me. I kept thinking I should straighten the twist out. - The flat edges of the handles feel like thick and sturdy seat belts that dig into your shoulder. I'm feeling conflicted about this bag because I feel strongly about both the pros and the cons. I'm leaning towards keeping it, but now and then one of the cons will annoy me enough that I haven't discounted returning it yet. That said, I absolutely appreciate all the thought that must have gone into designing this bag. I'll happily keep a lookout for any upgraded versions of this bag. I think it's well worth the price.

I'm absolutely thrilled with this product and the brand! The quality and feel are exceptional, and it seems incredibly durable. My water bottle fits perfectly, and there's ample space for my pickleball balls and rackets. The two outside pockets are fantastic for my phone and sunglasses, making them super convenient. The bright orange interior is a delight—it not only makes me happy but also helps me find everything quickly. I love the spot dedicated for carabiners; it's such a thoughtful addition. While I wish the magnets were a bit stronger, they work well enough if the bag isn't overloaded. I also think a buttoned ring or Velcro/magnetized pad for the handles would be a great addition to keep them together when carrying. That said, it's a tote bag, so no real complaints! It complements my black ember backpack wonderfully.

I took this as my personal item bag for my trip to the Philippines. I had no idea I was going to like this so much. The quality is amazing! Just feels like it is going to last a while. I love the orange interior. And the magnets are great when it’s not stuffed. The pockets are great the only thing I wish was that there was a dedicated pocket for like a ipad 11 inch or 12.9 inch. I now found out there is a version of the bag that has it. For some reason Amazon does not have it but their Brand website does. Will definitely be picking that version up. Great value for the money and I wonder if it is better than the Bellroy version. I feel like it is.

I'm a graduate student, I use Alpaka's Bravo Sling Max V2 as my daily carry on and off of campus. Since some of my duties involve teaching classes and lugging a hefty amount of books around, sometimes the sling just doesn't have enough room for my materials. Enter this tote bag. It fits perfectly within my sometimes-need to have a "throw bag" that can hold books, folders, whiteboard markers, A/V equipment, etc. The material is excellent, I needed something lightweight and waterproof since paper already weighs a ton (canvas just won't do) and it frequently rains on my campus. The handles are comfortable and thoughtfully made— I love the magnetic closure (a wonderful detail given the occasional rainstorm) and it has ample pockets for organization. What's more, the price point can't be beat for what you get. All around A+.
