Kamp New York Classic Flat Backpack for Men & Women, Large 17 Inch Laptop Rucksack, for School, Work or Travel (Grey/Brown Trim)

I wanted to love this backpack. First of all, I should have read the reviews that the buckle is not really a buckle, it's a snap. It opens ALL THE TIME. The inside is very big and deep but almost too deep...there are no smaller pockets which I could use. Everything goes in and gets lost. Not easy to compartmentalize. Lastly the top handle usually flops down when I put on the backpack so it hits me in the back and I have to reach back and straighten out the handle. Doesn't sound like a big deal but when you have to do it several times a day it is. I was looking for the Herschel backpack when I bought this one instead. That was a bad decision. It's destined for the back of the closet.

This babe. "Babe" is how I refer to people or inanimate objects that I love. I live in Portland OR where it pisses rain most months of the year, and I was worried when I bought it that it wouldn't be waterproof enought. LOL. It's the most waterproof thing I've ever owned. When rain falls on it, it eats it for dinner and remains dry AF. Plus, I've never received so many compliments in my life over an object I've owned. No outfit, no pair of shoes comes close to the pure love this satchel has gotten. And almighty above, you can fit a crime in there. And by that I mean a three day weekend in Vegas. This bag has a lot more stars than the dodgy hotel I stayed at off the strip. That's for sure.

I love the design of this bag. It's simple, minimal and looks great in a business or casual setting. I haven't had mine long, so I can't speak to how well it will wear. It seems very well constructed; the canvas is quite stiff and heavy. The leather isn't real ("PU leather"), but you'd pay a lot more for that. The shoulder straps are very comfortable and have webbing on the inside to minimize sweat. One review mentioned that the buckle isn't real, which is true--it's a magnetic clasp. I actually like this feature because you can pop the top flap open and closed without fiddling with a buckle. It's got a big main compartment with a padded pouch for laptops (more than enough for my 15 in, probably fine for a 17 in), and 2 side pockets--for me, a perfect setup. Very happy overall.

My dad made fun of me for spending $90 on a backpack. Two weeks later he bought one for himself.I have gotten many compliments over this backpack from my coworkers and clients. In terms of functionality, there is plenty of space for a laptop, notepads, and other work related stuff. If anything, what's great about this backpack is how simple it is. It is great for a minimalist look and just carrying less stuff overall.

Incredible bag. I use this bag everyday. I get complimented constantly.. This is a perfect Sport(Business) bag. Great quality. Very handsome.

It was a bit larger than I anticipated but I love it. The shoulder straps are comfy and you can actually a fit quite a lot in the bag (my 13" macbook air within it's felt carrying case, cables, a rather large USB charger, notebook, water bottle, make-up bag, and wallet for instance). Good padding surrounding the laptop area. It's very cute and doesn't get bulky in any strange places. I would have shaved a bit off a star because it smelled when I first received it, but the smell has already faded after a week of use. Overall, I love that it's more feminine and fashionable than your average backpack. My only wish is that it had a pocket of some kind on the outside of the bag (preferably the back where the straps are were you could slip a wallet or phone in for easy access. Otherwise, would highly recommend.

Nice

I gave this item as a gift because it has a simple elegance- not terms you ordinarily hear used in reference to a backpack. The material colors are basic and with the leather trim, it can accompany any mode of dress, from casual to dress-up. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because nothing's perfect. Well, there was this one golf shot I hit though back in 1975.
