I purchased my first Day Owl backpack a few months ago and I loved it. I shopped around for a good while looking for the right backpack and I definitely found it in The Backpack. It met all of my everyday needs. Then it was stolen out of my car and I was devastated. I, of course, immediately purchased a new backpack from Day Owl because it was so hard to move throughout my days without The Backpack that I had gotten so familair with. It has so many wonderful designs and features, that are so simple and thought out, but my favorite one is the side pocket for my water bottle and for my phone. I don't use a case on my phone and it fits perfectly inside the little pocket. I really love those features. I had never spent a lot of money on a backpack before, but it was worth it to get something that is stylish and durable, plus it is made from all recycled materials.
