“I liked my new backpack so much that I bought my wife a pink one the day mine was delivered. This size is perfect for my new MacBook Pro 14. I love all of the compartments and the trolly sleeve and I align with the sustainability of the brand. Keep up the great work!”
“I was looking for a bag that was fairly small since I only bring a laptop, a book, and headphones to work but also a bag that had a water bottle slot. This bag had everything that I needed!”
“It took me months of searching to find the perfect backpack for trekking back into the office post-pandemic, carting a laptop on busy public transportation. I really wanted to find a practical while stylish bag with a separate laptop compartment. The Day Owl slim sized bag ticks most of my wishlist off. To start it has that laptop compartment. It is perfect for my petite frame and fits me like the regular bag would fit taller people. It’s really worth sizing down if you’re petite! It’s a beautiful bag! All materials look and feel expensive and it has a sleek design, both professional and fashionable. I’m a big fan of its simple rounded edges and mate hardware that’s hidden by fabric. I love that there’s no bulky pockets protruding anywhere. All the pockets are concealed and well thought out. For example, it fits a wine bottle in a dedicated side compartment and has a handy little sunglasses top pocket. I’m happy with my purchase. It won’t fit a tone, but I don’t want to tote too much around.
The reasons for deduction of 1 star: choice of colors for the smaller scale bag is limited. I would have preferred the navy blue but I didn’t want to compromise on size, so I settled for the olive green. It’s nice but still too bad not all colors were available. The other issue is the straps. I read in other reviews that they aren’t comfortable and I would have to agree they don’t sit quite right and dig in. I’m not going to carry it for long periods but it works for the office commute which is the purpose I got it for.”
“Everything about the Slim Backpack is well constructed. I opted for the Pale Olive and it goes well with most of my wardrobe since it’s a lot of muted earth colours and some blues. If anything, I wish the beverage pocket doesn’t restrict access to the interior pockets when it’s occupied (in a way it reminds you to rehydrate haha) but other than that, the bag overall is great for daily walks and transit. Makes me excited to get the regular sized Backpack knowing it’s the same format but I can bring more stuff with me.”
“I have a short torso and back problems and most backpacks are too big for me and I wanted something cute for my subway commute. This fits perfectly and it sits on my back so well and it doesn't hurt my back at all. I can fit all I need to commute to and from work. The laptop pocket is great and fits my 13in MacBook Pro w/hard case very snuggly. Not enough room for traveling more than a night anywhere, especially if I need shoes but I don't think I'd use it for that anyway.”
