I bought the large and I have now learnt how to stuff in my gym clothes + shoes + toiletries (small bottles of shampoo conditioner and lotion) + makeup.

And then I pack in my laptop, work necessities, vitamins etc.

Sometimes I find it hard to fit my bottle in with all of the above.

I love the compartments and zippers to organise. I love the way I can access all zipper openings easily. that said the organisation also reduces the capacity to store more in the bag - its a trade off i guess.

The bag grows on me every day as I learn to use it in smarter ways.

I have to say, it looks great!

Another excellent Caraa addition to my collection. I needed two backpacks - one for work and one for school. I bought this backpack for work and absolutely love it. The pockets were well thought out and I don't feel like there is much wasted space as I have found with other backpacks. The features of this backpack, as with most Caraa products, are perfect. There is a lot more space in this than I initially thought. That was a nice surprise as I thought it might be a little too small. So glad I went with this. It is perfect to carry my laptop, umbrella, water bottle, pens, power cords, train ticket, wallet, make up bag and journal for taking notes. Gorgeous color and love that I can switch to duffle mode if I wanted to.

I've been traveling so much for work lately and needed something that I can use for airport and also on a daily basis. Tis bag was just what I needed to complete my travel uniform! I love the large version, fits a lot more than other sizes I tried from Caraa. Because it is a soft nylon material, the bag actually expands and I even put it to the test by packing for a 4 day vacation to Key West with it. I definitely stuffed it to the max, but it did not complain and made travel so much easier. So glad I held out and waited for this color to be released. I got the linen color nylon and it is gorgeous … stylish and professional. Cannot say enough good things about this bag!!

This backpack is the perfect size with all the right compartments. My favorite thing about the bag is that it can convert between backpack and shoulder/duffle mode. The quality is awesome, main nylon feels really luxurious and there are many really thoughtful pockets across the bag. Overall this is one of those great buys that's even better than anticipated.

Just returning from a 2 week trip to Europe using this bad boy and it did not disappoint. I first used it as a carry on when I flew into Spain, which fits my 13 inch macbook pro, wallet, passport etc … The main compartment with the handles is actually not that easy to get into but I appreciate the 2 side zipper pocket which comes in super useful for passport, wallet, glasses and phone. I had a pair of shoes and one outfit packed for the main compartment without a problem. For the duration of the trip, I have used this as my daily backpack and loved it. The straps are well padded and never gave me any backache. I will be getting the black version now that I am back in Boston for daily commute, the white does get dirty but I was able to get everything wiped out using a combination of soap/water + Magic eraser. Good purchase!
