Promising review: "I love this bag! I carried it all over Paris, London and Ireland! It was the perfect bag to bring with on an airplane. It was big enough to fit everything you need and small enough we’re it was lightweight and not bulky. There was so many pockets to put your items in and helps you stay organized! It is so cute and goes with every outfit. I’m obsessed. I sprayed it with leather water proof protector just in case and it didn’t cause any changes to the color." —Ellen K

Promising review: "I think this is perfect size: big enough for even my water bottle yet not so big everything gets lost. I also like all the pockets: things stay in the pocket area without filling the rest of the purse up. This is by far my favorite purse :)" —David&Rebekah Waage

Promising review: "I wanted a go-to 'pick up and run' item which would keep me organized. I love the sleek style of this backpack purse. It’s simple in design, yet so functional on many levels. This also allows me to take it on a plane easily – holding everything and more. For the price, that is a power puncher. Added bonuses are the phone charger and luggage strap. I usually have a very cute briefcase but backpacks even out the weight and make carrying easier. Update: after using this bag now for three years and it's still in such great condition. We were traveling every other week or so for a while there, so it got soo much use! A laptop, a tablet, books, wipes, two side pockets for water, it's PERFECT. Flight attendants always ask me about it. I know of a dozen friends who jumped on the wagon and purchased this as well...NO COMPLAINTS. Three years and going strong!" —Caribare

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in three sizes and eight colors/designs).

Promising review: "I rarely write reviews but this backpack purse is great!!! Quality sturdy fabric, well made, lined, colors are as shown, the pattern is even and matches, vinyl bottom, roomy but not huge. Less bulky than a standard backpack. The two shoulder straps convert to a single shoulder stamp without having to adjust buckles. Exceeded my expectations!" —Paula Chambers

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four styles).

Promising review: "I LOVE THIS BAG! It's CUTE and FUNCTIONAL and STURDY. BAM!!! I love how the main zipper/opening is on the inside facing my back instead of facing out to the public. That's the MAIN reason I chose this bag over all the others. It's roomy and I can ALL of my belongings in there including two wallets, umbrella, mail, lotion, makeup, etc. Just buy it! Update: I have been using this purse NON-STOP for two years straight! It still looks great! Sturdy! I'm amazed. This has to be one of the best purchases I've EVER made. The quality is great. GET THIS BAG ASAP!!!" —MsGina926

Promising review: "This backpack is really well-made. We have some other mini backpacks from other companies, even expensive ones, and this is the best one. The color is awesome. The zipper pulls are nice and big. It has a padded pouch in the back where you can keep a tablet or your phone. It has a nice front pocket with a clip for your keys so you don’t lose them. It’s a great bag. Love it." –Anonymous

Promising review: "I wanted a 'backpack' style purse that was smaller than what I’d seen. This one is just the right size! I love the three zipped sections. The attached tassels make it easy to zip or unzip. I use the front section for my phone and the back section for my wallet. I use the middle section, which is a little bit wider, to put things I want to take but will not need that often. I get A LOT of compliments on this purse/backpack." –Kindle Customer

Promising review: "I love the two toned ones for adults. They look very refined and elegant. The solid colors are beautiful also. They have more room than you think and are easy to carry. I got my daughter one the black and white and she began carrying it to work and all her coworkers were so jelly!!! Asking where she got it and one of her coworkers said y'all know her Mama be hooking her up all the time!! Definitely a cool look and practical too!!!" —Tamara Welch

Promising review: "I bought this backpack to be hands-free while traveling with my dog. It fits my laptop, all my flight essentials, and my dog's supplies without being a large backpack and feeling bulky. I now use it as his 'park backpack' so that I'm hands free while roaming with him, and it's great. I've also used this while flying for weekend trips and it fits my laptop, makeup bag, and flight essentials with room to spare!" —Haley

Get it from Amazon for $29.87+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I bought this solely so I could take it to Sofi stadium to watch BTS. They did check my bag because I had a smaller pouch inside with period stuff but I went through security very quickly. I wore it in line for 2.5 hours and it was pretty light. I could fit my light stick, batteries, granola bars, two water bottles, batteries, and a medium sized portable charger. I put it under my seat at the stadium and it wasn’t in the way at all. Very handy and durable enough that it definitely lasted the rowdiness at the concert and a late night exploration for food in Inglewood. Exactly what I needed!" —Kat

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and eight colors).

Promising review: "This backpack was just what I needed on a recent trip. It has lots of zippered compartments inside and the outside had compartments that were very convenient. It's size is just right for your necessities with plenty of room to put the extra things you purchase. It is nice looking, sturdy, lightweight, and the adjustable straps are comfortable. I like the zipper on the back where you can put your wallet and other valuable things. After looking at many backpacks, I am very happy that I purchased this one." —Lee Ann
