Reviews

This could be brilliant, but it’s useful.

"I’ve been using this bag for about a month now on days where work & gym collide. It’s a good size and my 13” laptop is well padded, with plenty of room for kit. The outside pocket initially seemed small, but actually is perfect for the things I need to grab - my phone, keys and AirPods. The inside pockets are useful too, but the bottle pocket is really awkward to get to, it would be better to have externally. I’d have liked to see a waterproof pocket or section for swimwear too. Finally, I really like the two handle / strap options although the shoulder strap is slightly too long for me to be properly comfortable as the bag swings or hits my bum when walking. Maybe I’m too short for it at 159cm?"

The best looking Mary Poppins bag

"Love this bag - I really wanted an all-round bag that was comfortable on my shoulders when heavy and this fits the bill. It allows for a good size water bottle, my laptop is secure and then all the standard bits you pop in a bag fit comfortably too. 10/10 purchase!"

— Lauren T. (5/5)

Perfect Everyday bag!

"I bought this bag because I needed something practical for work that could carry both my laptop and everyday essentials. It’s thoughtfully designed, with plenty of zipped compartments, a secure space for my laptop, and even a holder for a water bottle. Even when it’s fully packed, it still feels comfortable and doesn’t weigh heavily on my shoulder."

— Olivia P. (5/5)

So glad I finally bought it

"I’ve debated buying this for so long and recently jumped at it when I saw it was in the sale. I am SO glad I did, it’s great. Although found the bottle holder inside doesn’t quite work for a Stanley cup with handle but the bag feels so nice"

— Ellie C. (5/5)

Padded tote bag

"I absolutely love this bag, the colour, the design, the zipped pockets the soft padded handles . . . . everything about it ❤️"

— Leah W. (5/5)

Spacious bag used for work

"I have had my eye on this bag for a while (was waiting on another colour combo) and decided to just buy it. For my work I am in numerous locations, in and out the car and often have to walk for 10 minutes between from parking locations. The straps are super comfortable on my shoulder. The bag is spacious and the two compartments inside are of a good size to seperate my laptop and tech from other bits I need! I gave it 5 stars as it’s great but some tweaks would be a slightly bigger outside pocket for phone and tweaks to the inside pockets which could be a little deeper so items fall out when zip is open. I’m still working it out though. What to put where. Overall great bag!"

— Ruth G. (5/5)

Padded tote bag - love!

"Love the bag, super roomy. Can fit my laptop and all books for college as well as my bottle which is quite big! Really happy with it, only issue would be that there were quite a few loose threads that I had to cut."

— Emma H. (5/5)

Beautiful and waterproof!

"Love the bag, it’s a great size, colour is lush and the long handle and short handle are perfect! The separator in the middle takes up quite a bit of space though and so I can’t fit in as much I’d like but apart from that it’s a great purchase!"

— Bryoni C. (4/5)

Love this but one design flaw

"I really love the colour and design of this bag. The pockets are great and it really is a super useful tote. My only bug bear is that for me the long straps are far too long so the bag sits on my lower hip and means when the bag is heavy (noting it has a pocket specifically designed for a laptop) it keeps slipping off my shoulders (I’m 5”5). The small handles are also too short to use them on my shoulder, so overall it’s a bit awkward!"
