“I was looking for a daily, professional use backpack and began with one from a different sustainability-focused company, and Facebook surprised me by advertising something I was actually looking for - it was The Backpack! I loved the look and all the thoughtful pockets featured in the ads, and was thrilled to learn about the exceptional Earth-consciousness of Day Owl.
It turned out to be the best fit for my needs, it looks beautiful and cool, it was a very reasonable price, and I love that I am also supporting sustainability. I'm loving it! The color is cute, the materials feel very high-end, and I feel sleek and minimalist carrying everything I need,
(including a very supportive spot for my work computer) instead of frantically carrying a bag and five things that didn't fit in it. (I'm an elementary teacher so I am always carrying a work laptop, at least one notebook/planner, a small purse, a water bottle and usually a coffee traveler, my lunch, and other random items. This holds it all!)”
“Incredible bag. Amazing materials, design, and experience using. Couldn't be happier. I was initially hesitant about the cost, but this is a high quality bag that is going to last, you can tell. Plus the quality of the materials makes it worth it!”
“Fantastic bag! All the right compartments, a great color and size with excellent quality! I have been searching a long time for a bag that is useful for traveling and day use, but not bulky with pockets everywhere. This bag is perfectly minimal outside and thoughtfully useful inside!”
“Love this bag. I’ve owned quite a few bags but this takes the cake. Looks good, feels good, and can carry literally everything I need without ballooning up comically. And there’s so many cute colors that I want to splurge and get another.”
“Overall really like it and the size was just what I wanted. So happy about the material used. Four stars because I feel like two of the pockets are pretty useless. Side pocket doesn’t even fit phone so still have to keep it in my jacket or zipped in to a non accessible pocket.”
“I really like this bag overall. It's got lots of pockets so it's easy to keep my stuff organized. My only complaint is that the straps are a bit uncomfortable.”
“This backpack is great! It's almost impossible to find a 10L backpack that is functional *and* can plausibly be used in professional settings, and this one does the job beautifully. I do wish the slim version came in some darker colors, but still very happy.”
