A does-it-all design made for work and play. 

My Everlane backpack after four years finally wore out, and this was an amazing replacement. The top zipper was sometimes a bit stiff to start, but it's very durable, water repellent from what I've seen so far, comfortable, and also fits well on top of a suitcase.

Definitely having a little smoother zipper action would be nice, but still very worth the price – a much better deal than, say, paying Away $160 to do the same thing.

Amazing, amazing backpack

This feels like my goldilocks backpack.  I have a northface one that holds a ton and a knomo one that holds a little.  The Rafa backpack holds enough for me to comfortably travel with it but is nice enough looking to actually take on work trips (and then to meetings where I need my laptop.)

I absolutely adore the sleeve on the back that allows me to have my carryon suitcase carry the backpack full of tech vs my back.


Holds more than I expected

The material of this backpack is well-made and water-resistant. I love the numerous interior pockets in both the laptop and main compartments. I only wish there were additional side exterior pockets that would allow me to easily grab belongings without removing the backpack but this is otherwise quite practical, and so sleek as well

Well Made

Perfect backpack for travel- fits beautifully on a roller 

So well made 

I like the form. It looks sturdy and clean. A suitcase sleeve is definitely a big plus. I wish there were more small zipped pockets inside. 

Decent size, good design.

Good quality backpack, however I had to return this due to one of the zipper areas not completely closing...

Great quality

It fits everything I need for a carry-on. The style is low key. Not flashy. Not cool. Just simple and functional with a slim profile. 

The fabric looks ordinary for a backpack. Nothing unique or elevated, but the quality is good. 

It feels like it will hold up to a lot of travel and is comfortable on my back when full.  

Practical Choice

Great size and features 

This backpack exceeded my expectations. Very nice quality, a lot of compartments. 

Absolutely love it!

The build quality is excellent for the price. Quality in the details. A perfectly simple bag with everything you need and nothing you don't.

Can't say enough good stuff about this...

I but one of these backpacks for a male friend. Sometimes when we went out with my toddler daughter I would borrow his backpack because it was much easier to manage her wearing that versus a purse. Well I finally got my own and I'm very happy with it.

The very best!

This is what Italic is great at, great style quality and super sleek.

Perfect laptop backpack

I love this backpack. It looks super sleek, and the laptop pocket is great. It’s the perfect size to carry a lot but not too much.

Well designed 

Perfect work bag in NYC for my husband - great quality and the leather accents really elevate the look. 

The stiffness of the material adds more style to it than it already has, and I appreciate how it always keeps it shape. Plenty of the right pockets, laptop fits and all.

I love this backpack

After 4 months of use, backpack is comfortable. Spacious, fits thick 15" laptop. Waterproof, and tight covered seams. Fits perfectly with carry-on Luggage.

Amazing Backpack

I purchased this backpack for commuting to office and traveling. There’s a separate compartment for a laptop and it holds much more than it looks! Sturdy as well. 

Sturdy and holds a lot 

Love it! Great looking backpack 

This bag is great and is quite light as well

Very nice backpack

Love this backpack. It’s sturdy and keeps its sleek shape well even when filled to capacity as a carry-on. The laptop sleeve is well made and properly cushioned. Love the interior zip pocket and trolley sleeve for east travel. 

Quality & Style

Canvas is easy to get dirty but it's the best backpack I've ever owned and looks amazing!

High quality

Really great backpack. It has a compartment for your laptop and can go on your suitcase so it’s particularly good for travel

Fantastic backpack 

This backpack was everything that I was looking for. I wanted backpack that had a trolley sleeve and this works perfectly. It is simple and has really great structure. I'm in school and it holds my iPad and laptop with no issue in the laptop sleeve. It's been a few months since I received this and it holds up really well. I've gotten so many compliments asking where I got it from. Highly recommend!

best backpack

This bag looks great! The materials seem of very good quality -- definitely feels sturdy and durable. The stitching appears to be solid as well. The packaging is also very thorough, with the item coming in a plastic sleeve, surrounded by packing paper, as well as with many of the bag's pieces wrapped individually with foam wrap (as can be seen in the picture).

Will be using it soon and testing its durability!

Elegant, beautifully made, such an amazing piece. I love how Italic packs up all the items during the shipping so that nothing looses shape

Such a great backpack

It is well built and sturdy. Slightly expensive but I don't mind it. Would appreciate if they added a bottle holder though.

Great Bag

Looks very clean and neat. Also spacious enough

Stylish 

The quality of this backpack is very good and it has a number of pockets, looks very stylish as well! 

Backpack is sleek and has ample room even with a laptop in it. Love that there is no branding. Separate laptop compartment is convenient. 

Minimalist, great for work

Higher quality than a brand name bag I recently bought. Perfect for the office or for travel. 

Stylish and sleek

I was looking for a stylish backpack that would fit well over the handle of my suitcase for when I am traveling. This backpack is perfect for that. It has a nice stylish design that is sleek and clean, it also is very easy to keep in good shape and doesn't look like it has extreme wear on it.

Perfect travel backpack

Waterproof, light and incredibly spacious. Highly recommended

Finally a bag I like!! 

I love the design but it's too small for my needs. A bottle holder would go a long way

Gorgeous

I’m 6’3” and the size of this backpack is perfect. The navy color looks awesome and it has a very cool modern, minimalistic styling that is very functional. Excited to use this backpack for trips.

Great looking backpack

I was looking for a backpack that would be a a more professional fit as I wanted to use it for work as well and found the perfect match with this one. The backpack looks great and it is really well-built. As a couple of reviewers have mentioned, the zippers are bit hard at the beginning but they get easier to move around with time. The only improvement I could think of is the front pocket, which when the backpack is full is extremely hard to open. Otherwise great steal!

Stylish good-quality backpack 

I got it during thank you Tuesday sale . Zipper quality is really good . Would say the color is beautiful and works well for a day trip . Can also keep a laptop 

Love the product

Although it is a bit small, the leather quality is amazing and the backpack is well worth the price! I wish it had a slot for waterbottle, and the zippers can be hard to close when full.

Amazing Quality for the price! The leather is sublime!

This will be a great addition to my Away bags. Solid.

Away we go

This backpack is AMAZING quality. I previously had the Rains Waterproof Field Backpack ($110), and this one is MUCH nicer. Perfect unisex look to take to work without feeling like a child. It has a separate compartment for your laptop, which is great if you travel a lot and need to slip your laptop in and out of your bag at TSA. It also has a flap to hang it over your suitcase and comfortable straps with cushion. Overall, a perfect backpack for work! Couldn't be happier.

Great quality backpack, perfect for a sleek look

Perfect professional backpack for work - roomy & tons of good pockets 

Everyday backpack!

Spacious and looks classy - perfect for office commuters

Durable and stylish 

The bag looks stylish and the colors are nice.

Great quality and looks stylish.

Looks and feels like great quality. Goes very nicely with my other away bags. The zipper isn't as easy to use as my away bag. 

Great bag for great price

I have been considering a new backpack for a while now. I wanted something minimalistic in both design in features, I wanted something dark blue or black, I wanted something comfortable but also not built explicitly for comfort, I wanted something roomy but not bulky, and I wanted something stylish. This bag is perfect! There are cheaper bags out there, but not at this quality. It is chic! And I am so pleased with it. Note: the photo I have uploaded does not fairly represent the color, but it does showcase the sleak-ness and high quality of the item.

Exactly what I wanted.

This backpack is the perfect commuter bag 

Sturdy and chic

Very nice high quality backpack. It is simple in design, but should last for many years.

Nice Backpack

Oh the places you will go with this backpack. Everyone has asked, “where did you get that?” Italic of course. This is a must have. Ready to conquer the world.

Vamos Rafa

There is a main compartment, a compartment for a laptop, and a small front compartment. I don’t find the zippers cheap (like other reviewers mention). All in all, the backpack looks simple and stylish. 

Simple & stylish 

Purchased for my fiancé as we look forward to traveling together post pandemic. It has all the features and nothing extra. This is the perfect blend of simple and luxury for travel. The leather details are thoughtful and not stylish but provide comfort and support wear and tear. I appreciate the extra pads on the bottom to give a bit more support where it hits directly on the floor. 

I know this is the luxury bag owner in me, but I’ll probably use a dust bag to store it in while not in use. 

My fiancé cannot wait to use it!

Materials feel top notch and looks understatedly nice. Plenty of interior space for everything I need while using it as a personal item on a flight. It's maybe an inch or two wider than I'd like, when I wear it somehow feels too big for me and I think that has to do with the bottom anchor points for the straps - if they were an inch or two more inboard (or the body of the back pack more narrow) I think that would solve the issue. A STEAL at Thank You Thursday pricing and good deal normally. 

Feels more expensive than it is!

I really like this backpack so far. The material feels very sturdy and the backpack is stylish. The backside panel to attach to luggage is a game changer. The only gripe I have with this bag is that if you fill up the large compartment too much, it's really difficult to get things from the front pocket.

good quality!

If you are looking for a comfortable and convenient backpack that is chic enough to carry to and from the office, then this is it! Love the separate compartment for the laptop. 

Great and chic bakcpack!

Bought as a gift for my brother and it instantly makes whatever he’s wearing more stylish. It has all the necessary compartments and I like that the luggage sleeve isn’t sideways like on other brands. The zipper can sometimes be sticky but is easily fixed with some petroleum jelly. 

Stylish minimal backpack

I left the backpack of the original packaging because I don't plan to use it immediately. However I wanted to capture the quality which you can see in the stitching. I really like the size and look of this backpack. 

Quality! 

I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas, but I needed a backpack for work travel and ended up opening his gift! Lol! I’ve used it 3 times now snd it’s perfect. Great quality and the laptop compartment is a must have. 

Perfect for Travel!

Quality is impeccable. I love the leather details. It has a good structure and all the right pockets. The metal zippers don’t glide easily but it’s certainly not a dealbreaker. 

Perfect commuter bag

This backpack is fantastic! I was looking for a smaller backpack with no logos that I could commute on the subway to work in and this is perfect.  It has a padded laptop sleeve in back and just enough room for what you need. Has a hidden pocket inside as well. The outside pocket is a bit stiff and hard to open/close, but for $75 cannot beat the price. Only thing it is missing is a slot for a water bottle on the slide. I have had this for a few months now and the backpack has held up quite well except for some stitching on one of the zipper handles which can easily be fixed.

Absolutely a must have!

I'm very pleased with this backpack. It has a few different compartments, quality zippers, and a premium look.

Great purchase

Has been carrying this backpack at least once every week, but the shape is still intact. The zipper is superb quality. Would love to buy this again when I need another backpack

Nice backpack

Fits all that I need for work. Back sleeve keeps my Macbook pro 16" protected and easy to access. Fits notebook, supplies, and water bottle. Sometimes pack this with gym clothes/shoes too. 

Very stylish. Have gotten a few compliments already. 

Tradeoff: not having a water bottle holding on the outside. More stylish without the holder, but less functional. 

We'll see how it holds up over time. 


Stylish and functional

Looks like it should be 2X the price. Great quality, minimalist classic design.

Great bag

Great quality, thoughtfully designed, and stunning color. 

Only qualm is it’s a little bigger than expected, but that does allow one to fit a 15” laptop and gym stuff with ease. 

Absolute Steal

Excellent bag. You can tell that it is quality. My husband uses it as a computer bag, and as an “outing/diaper bag” for the little one. I love the pockets, and the materials are lovely.

Love it

great backpack. have been using it for travel with my rolly suitcase. sleek looking and fits everything I need. 

sleek backpack

LOVE

Love it! This is a perfect small size travel backpack, super high quality materials

Amazing quality

I recently went on a trip and brought this backpack. It's the most elegant backpack I've ever seen. It was also designed amazingly. The laptop pocket is thin and in the back, so when you have to take your computer out, you don't have to expose everything you're carrying. The inside pockets are also very useful. I really love this backpack!

Great for travelling 

I love that this backpack slides right over my luggage handle and has separate zippered compartments for my electronics and the rest of my things. I think the zippers could be a little smoother but other than that this is the perfect backpack and really cute 

great travel backpack 

Lovely material got for my son as one of the Xmas gifts hope he will love it 

Heavy duty backpack 

I got this backpack through the members only Thank You Tuesday event. I hadn’t even considered buying this backpack before the event but I’m so glad I did! It is such a high quality, sleek, durable backpack… and an absolute steal thanks to Thank You Tuesday

An absolute steal!

I bought this for my wife, it is similar to my Montblanc nightlight backpack. 
The quality is close. For 1/10th of the price of the MontBlanc it's a no brainer.
It is also ideal to travel as wearing luxury brands abroad makes you a target. 
This is the smart choice. 

Looks great, good build quality with the right features

The backpack is very simple. It was bigger than I expected, but a good size for putting all things I need to carry. 

simple design 

The backpack is amazing for its price. The leather trim everywhere is well done and the inside nylon feels super smooth high quality. Bought from the thank you Tuesday promotion and it was really quite a steal. 

Great backpack

It looks very good, and high-quality product. Nice details, golden rings and zippers.
Durable handles. This specific color was on sale for members, and I got it as well (I have the navy blue one as well).

I love this bag

Very durable and stylish backpack, especially to take to European cities.

Stylish backpack

Looks exactly as advertised. I don't think this one is as big a steal as other Italic products, but definitely worth the price and quality, trim, and zippers all look great. 

Love it   

I've owned this backpack for 6+ months and highly recommend after tons of use.

Pros:
1. Clean design
2. Adequate amount of pockets and sections (holds up to a 16" Macbook pro"
3. Can serve as a weekender back
4. Have flown between coasts and internationally and still going strong
5. Easy to clean

Cons:
1. Sharp zippers. Except to get cut. The inside "secure" pocket is pretty useless
2. Shoulder straps will get scuffed easily
3. No water pocket (huge miss)

Fantastic and stylish back, but super sharp zippers

I love this backpack and I take it everywhere from going into the office to work, on weekend trips, to the airport, etc. there’s a ton of great storage compartments and places to keep different things (laptop, mouse, makeup, notebooks, etc). The nylon is highly quality but the zipper seems a little cheap and it can seldomly get stuck, which is why I took a star off. 

All the pockets and compartments

Got this for myself for work, to fit my laptop, lunch container, water bottle, and umbrella. Everything fits and it’s good quality, but my only minor complaint is that it’s a bit wide for my stature (F, 5’5 in height, slim build)

good for work

Quality feels good. standard size. Has a laptop compartment in the back that’s well protected and hidden

Good size standard backpack

I love the elegant, minimalist design of this backpack and the laptop pocket is a really nice detail. The only thing that would make it better is a side pocket for holding a drink.

I have been using this backpack for travel but have also brought it with me to conferences, so far it has held up pretty well!! The only thing is that little scuffs show up but I haven't tried washing them out yet. Also as other reviewers mentioned the zippers aren't super smooth but they work fine. I love the back pocket for your laptop/notebook. I also wish there was a side pocket for your water bottle or phone or whatever, but that could be a personal preference

Great professional + cute backpack

Bag looks tremendous. Quality seems good and love the simplicity of the design. Website description is accurate. 

My two complaints that prevent a 5-star review is 1) there are no water bottle holders, which I didn’t realize how inconvenient it would be and 2) the zippers can sometimes be difficult to maneuver.

Love the bag and would recommend if you want a minimalistic style that matches well with both casual and professional look.

Great looking bag at a reasonable price

I use this backpack for work. The laptop compartment comfortably fits my 16” MacBook Pro. I love the slim and sleek profile. The only thing I would add is an internal water bottle holder.
