Check your employee, Nordstrom
I ordered this Recon Luxe as a Mother's Day gift. Although the shipping speed was phenomenal (5 stars!), what I received is not what's pictured here- instead, I received a cheaper version of Recon (shown in picture), with a tag labelled "Recon Luxe." What a messed up Mother's Day.
Maybe the question is- did your employee switch the tag intentionally? If other customers order this as a gift and never thought to double check with the recipient on the item received, it would be a perfect plan for whoever did this then.

Disappointed after use
I thought I was going to really like this backpack but now that I have used it, the flaws are presenting themself. The biggest one is the off balance of the bag. The smaller zippered front section can hold a decent amount, but as soon as you start to fill it beyond just pens it starts to bulge out and makes the backpack top heavy, thus it falls over. If this section is filled, it partially blocks the front bottom of the bag from being used in the larger back section of the backpack. This leads to the front bottom of the backpack being empty contributing to instability even more. It's a well made backpack and great looking but a non functional design Too bad because I thought I had found a great pack.

Consider adding the hip belt pocket like the Gregory and Osprey, and you will have a winner.

Of course I'll buy another one, although I already bought th
In love with my backpack, very necessary and I loved the color. Very comfortable to carry no matter the weight you put on it has a very good texture and above all it does not bother the shoulders. Recommended 100%

LOVE THIS BACKPACK
This is the cutest backpack ever! I have always had a Recon backpack but wanted something newer for when I start Pharmacy school next year! North Face has always had great quality, and I am never unsatisfied!

Extremely comfortable, even fully loaded.
Excellent quality, and very comfortable, even when fully loaded. Fits my small frame perfectly. I'm 5'4'' and 105 pounds, so a comfortable backpack for that size is important. Perfect as a carry-on as well.
