I have always had the smaller pack (read 10 years or more), and use it approximately 365 days per year (yes!). The larger pack fits more, like umbrellas and hats, and works as a carry-all as well as a backpack. A great addition to my arsenal.

Love this bag/backpack! Perfect for my trip to Europe. Stylish and functional!!

This backpack is my favorite bag for years! I like to be hands free while shopping and doing errands. I have it in black and slate! It’s big enough to fit lots of stuff (wallet, sunglasses, reusable shopping bags, scarf & gloves etc. and all the pockets are great for kleenex, lipsticks, masks, etc. the nylon makes it easy to wipe clean. The leather straps are so much nicer than the usual padded straps of other backpacks. Quality craftsmanship. Highly recommend!!!

Nice

BEST BAG I HAVE EVER PURCHASED My sister bought me this bag 8 years ago, and I just went back to the store to get in the Slate color. If I had a dime for every person on the street who stops me and asks me "where did you get that bag?" I would be rich! The bag is so well constructed, perfectly engineered for comfort, and really good looking. I commute from the suburbs to Manhattan and have back issues. This bag really helps because it is so light, and it distributes the weight of the contents evenly. It also stands up to heavy commuter use, including bad weather. I was fortunate to visit the actual store for my second purchase and the bags are really beautiful. I will be back to buy more. Plus, Hiten is a lovely man and it is great to do business with an actual business owner who takes pride in his product.
