Great-looking bag, but not commuter-friendly
"I’m picky about design and this bag nails it—clean lines, minimal, nice logo and elegant overall. From a looks perspective, it checks all my boxes.
Functionality is where it falls short for daily commuting:
- No laptop sleeve or compartment. It’s basically one big cavity, so my laptop slides around (I had to buy a separate sleeve). I also pack lunch, and I don’t want a spill next to my laptop.
- The single exterior pocket bulges if you use it, ruining the slim profile. It’s fine for my work badge, but not much else.
- No key solution: no clip, leash, or loop. My keys slipped out more than once. My old bag Timbuk2) include a simple key holder.
- Biggest concern: after <1 month I’m already seeing wrinkles that look like discoloration. If I can’t fix that, it’s a deal-breaker.
Keeping it for now because it looks fantastic, but I’d love the designer to bike to work sometimes and improve it first hand. I’ll update my rating once I see how the wrinkle issue plays out."

Purchased as a Christmas Gift
"I purchased this for my son for Christmas so it hasn't been used yet. However I love the colour, it's the same green as my ankle wellies from Stutterheim. It's a good size, shape and best of all showerproof. I'm sure he will love it."
