I FINALLY found the one!
I've been on the hunt for the perfect backpack for almost a year, and I’ve finally found it! This is hands down the most comfortable and functional backpack I’ve ever owned!
This backpack checks every box (I am extremely picky):
1. Laptop Compartment:
- Must accommodates my large waterproof laptop case (15.35 x 10.82 x 1.4 inches), which was essential.
- Must have separate laptop compartment.
- Must have heavily padded laptop compartment with elevated bottom padding for extra protection if I decide to carry just the laptop without the case.
2. Interior:
- Must have a light-colored interior to make finding things easier.
- Must have numerous pockets for organization.
3. Exterior:
- Ideally, a stylish, sophisticated, and feminine design with plenty of organizational pockets. At a minimum, it should have a gender-neutral, classy look—avoiding anything too masculine.
- Must have a hidden pocket for Apple AirTag.
- Must have smooth, durable zippers.
- Must have a comfortable, large leather handle for easy carrying.
- Must be spacious enough to hold everything I need (I tend to overpack) without feeling or looking too bulky (I'm 5'5" with a short torso).
4. Straps & Comfort:
- Must have slip-through back panel for convenient travel
- Must have comfortable mesh padding and shoulder straps, even when fully packed and heavy (tested with 2 laptops, 2 big water bottles, heavy binders, and other essentials).
- Must have breathable mesh padding because I get hot too easily.
Background:
I used to carry a large Tumi leather tote for work and travel, but after upgrading to a 16" work laptop, it started hurting my shoulders. I’ve always preferred purses over backpacks, so finding the right one was tough. I tried several Tumi and Nomatic backpacks, but none were comfortable or functional enough.
Then, I found a review from someone like me—who didn’t like backpacks but loved this one. I gave it a try, and I’m so glad I did! The wide-mouth opening makes everything super easy to access, almost like a purse. It’s the perfect mix of comfort and functionality for work, travel, and everyday use.
Bonus: It's also much more affordable than Tumi!

Not worth the cost
Smaller than it seems, very expensive for a basic backpack. Returned.

Everyday Bag
I wanted to wait several months before writing this review.
The widemouth backpack is superior and great quality and has many storage options for iPad and work computer. I have a 16inch MacBook Pro that fits in it without issues but I wouldn’t suggest any larger laptop. Seems like a ton of storage. I’ve been able to have several day trips with this bag and could even fit a comfortable 2 days to maybe even 3 days worth of clothes. I find myself forgetting about the zipper pocket on the luggage handle sleeve which is super helpful for documents or loose items. The Air Tag pocket makes this backpack secure and available at all times. The leather is good quality. I made the worst decision by storing food in the backpack and stained the interiors! Be extremely careful about storing any kind of food inside the bag. Would recommend this for everyone for the warranty alone but overall a great product!

Love the backpack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this backpack, it has great capacity while being able to fit in most overhead and underwear compartment. I also like that it’s comfortable on my shoulders and I have good closure on it. The hardware is also great, I’m really loved it!

So comfy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backpack has made traveling a breeze with how it simply slides onto my luggage for hand free travel with peace of mind that my bag is protected. It fits up to 15” laptops and protects it from any damage with the soft protective interior. The wide mouth opening allows for me to put things inside with ease and has interior pockets to hold things from moving around inside of it. It is lightweight at less than 3 pounds while still providing superior quality with the padded shoulder straps and back that helps provide lumbar support.
My favorite feature is the built in sunglasses pocket! I wear prescription glasses and this always keeps my sunglasses stored safely and protected while I’m not wearing them.

A joy to own that approaches perfection
This bag has effectively become my mobile "home base," accompanying me everywhere. The wide-mouth backpack facilitates a clean, efficient organizational home that is a pleasure to pick up each day. I chose the deep navy option over the black (which is equally stunning) and feel the depth of the blue is reasonable for professional settings.
Housing a water bottle securely is important for me and I can reliably maintain my 24 oz water bottle through vigorous travel and if a second bottle is needed on - the other side works in a pinch. The wide-mouth opening is a unique design choice that is a departure from all of my previous bags. The designed allows for keeping the bag open, next to my desk, serving as an extension of my workspace and reducing desk clutter. The wide-mouth zipper mechanism is high quality, but as others have noted, it can be slightly finicky at times, but not to the extent of causing daily annoyance. The easy-to-access zippered pockets make travel a breeze.
I appreciate the inclusion of a hidden zipper on the back strap. However, I would prefer this pocket be located on the actual padded back of the bag as seen in other bags. On occasion, when placing an item in the pocket without looking, it has ended up behind the actual pocket. This requires a quick check to ensure the item is properly stowed, which is the worlds tiniest first-world problem, but worth noting.
In terms of capacity, the bag holds an acceptable amount of items for its size. Its rigid structure doesn't allow for much stretch if you occasionally overpack, but this hasn't posed a significant issue for typical use. I do wish the front pockets offered greater capacity, though I understand this design choice is likely necessary to accommodate the wide-mouth opening.
This is a supremely comfortable bag that travels well and is palpably high quality. Like any new piece of gear, you may need to make minor adjustments to your routine, but the bag works exceptionally well once you do. I look forward to using it every day and highly recommend it.
