I got to travel with this backpack for the first time last week and I do believe this may be the last backpack I’ll ever need to buy. The construction is incredibly sturdy, but straight-forward enough that I know that should it need a repair, the company won’t have any problems with it. It’s subtle, but gorgeous, and the small details really make the piece. I love how the snaps for the outer pockets allow me to slip a finger behind the bottom snap so I can pinch it together rather than struggle to press it down. I thought the straps arrangement might be irritating and time-consuming, but it’s surprisingly easy to get the hang of and now I like the added sense of security it gives me in crowds. The inner pockets are well designed and I really enjoy their arrangement of both smaller compartments and larger ones. It feels small when I’m wearing it, but can hold a lot. The straps are incredibly comfortable- and I say that as someone who experiences sensory overload fairly easily. Overall, I’m glad I invested in this backpack and I feel confident that my search for a bag that works for me for the long-term is ended.
