Would you buy the Totepack? Let me know 👇
I have the black version and it’s perfect! Great review!
@@annr glad you love it!
Love your review. There is discount on green version. It seems a good deal. I like the pin on your bag.
Thanks for the review. So rare to find a 5’2” woman like myself reviewing backpacks. I’d love to see more. Most backpacks and reviews do not consider women/people of our size. Thank you.
Actually seeing the Aer fit pack on you made me cross it off my list of potential packs.
Aww thank you so much. Really appreciate that!
I second this. Great review!
Same here. I am about the same height and this really helps me with making my decision. I just bought one 😂
I know right? the reviewers should change their height to match all sizes :/ its quite bad...
Love how detailed and creative this review is!
This review really helped me, thank you! I was starting to reconsider and was gonna look out for a more waterproof pack for work then you did the rain update! how very helpful! now i'm back to loving this totepack :)
This is the best review on this backpack all over youtube. Thanks!
Thank you! This really made my morning, I’m glad you found it helpful!
This is beyond helpful, thank you so much! I also absolutely love your channel!
Thank you so much! Happy you like it😍
Great review!!! Specially the rain test, I’m doing some research to buy this bag and haven’t seen videos reviewing this aspect. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I’m glad you found it helpful! Happy wearing!
Thanks for your in depth review. I really appreciate a woman''s perspective on the work/play needs that arise on a daily basis. I am really considering this bag!
Great review! It was super helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for your effort for the great review! Very helpful.
Thanks for the awesome review! I've been waiting for a review on the saltbush version because I only see the black version on youtube. Im torn between saltbush and midnight 😂 and I'm almost the same height too
Midnight is very sexy, imo you can’t go wrong with either even if you prefer to wear lighter colors! Let me know which one you go with 😊
Thanks a lot for this ❤ all the other reviews are by men who have different requirements. You're an angel!
Glad you loved it!
Please make more reviews! I’m a woman of the same height so I’m loving this, thank you ❤
I'd suggest looking at the Urth Backpack 20l as it has a seperate compartment meant for cameras but you could put your shoes in there separately or your lunchbox
Fantastic video! Thank you! 👏👍
Thanks!
Excelente Bag, muy practica,elegante y de gran capacidad. Felicitaciones.🎉
loved this video!! Does it say where it's manufactured? Could you let me know if it does? thanks :)
Hi i hope you can make a long term review of the bellroy totepack..thanks
Good review and bag. Vertical zipper for me is impractical. Things can fall out when opening and defeats the purpose.
Bought one for $50 CAD off Poshmark #snipe. Thank you for the review. Didn’t think they’d accept so now doing research
This was EXTREMELY helpful as I am looking for the exact same thing and am the same size. The only difference is what laptop we have. Speaking of--what 14" laptop are you able to fit? It looks pretty tight so I'd like to figure out if your laptop is the same size as my 14" laptop.
Yay, glad you found it helpful! 😁 I was using the Lenovo ThinkPad 14”. It’s a snug fit, but not a tight one if you know what I mean 😉
@@maggenlove oh ha! I was wrong, I think we might also have the same laptop. I have a Lenovo T14S 😂
How long are the backpack straps on this bag?
Thanks for the great review! Do you find that stains are hard to get out given the light color?
Glad you liked it! Tbh haven’t even considered stains as I don’t have a single one despite putting my bag down on some of the nastiest floors (like the Tube, for example). Any liquid stains would likely just roll off it, anything more solid should be easy to wipe off with a cloth and some soap I think. Plus the color is dark enough on the sides and multi-coloured on the front panel for stains to go unnoticed. Hope that helps!
@@maggenlove Thanks so much for responding and your help, I've gone ahead and ordered one in the same color.
Thanks for the great video! Did I hear you correctly? Your 14inch MacBook fits into the compact bag?
13 inch!
Heyy, I loved your review! Do you think it would hold a binder? (if there is no laptop inside)
Hey, thanks! I think a binder can fit but probably not much more than that. I’d go for the 20L version or another more spacious backpack instead if you at least plan to carry a water bottle/umbrella.
@@maggenlove Thanks a lot ;)
I love this color but am worried about keeping it clean. Have you found it shows any scuffs or wear more easily than a darker color??
Hey, I take my bag everywhere (and I’m not precious with it) and almost 6 months in I only have 1 visible mark (from a marker it looks like). So to be honest it holds up to the elements pretty well! Also if anything you can just wash it.
@@maggenlove great, thank you!
what’s the maximum size water bottle you can fit inside? :)
Hey! The inner side pocket only fits 0.5L, unless you have one of those slim ones. Otherwise you could fit up to 1L but it won’t be as secure.
Has anybody tried to put 16 inch macbook pro in the compact version of this bag?
No but a Dell XPS 15 fits at a squeeze inside the laptop compartment and better outside of the laptop compartment in the main section of the bag. By squeeze I mean that it sits higher up than it should and you need to think about it more when zipping. But I dont have to stretch the zip or anything. I dont actually carry the laptop in it, I carry a smaller device but I would be happy to carry the XPS 15 in this when I do need to move it around.
Супер рюкзачок - сумка. Очень удобный и вместительный Хороший внешний вид. Планирую приобрести. Очень понравилось объяснение. Спасибо
Спасибо!🙏
One thing that annoys me is how I could easily access either phone or shades but not both. Putting that key fob there rather limits what you can put in that pocket, and it’s a letdown of nearly all bellroy bags.
I don’t disagree - think adding a pocket and making the key ribbon an elastic would be a massive improvement to the front of the bag. That being said, I find the balance of all elements in this bag quite good
@@maggenlove yeah and I forgot to say that it was a great review. I’d been thinking I need to go to 20L even though it’d look ridiculous on me, but you’ve shown how much the 14L really holds! Also other reviews lament the waterproofing of that top zipper but you showed that in rain it works fine!
Рюкзак прекрасен, но мне не хватает длины лямок 😮
