“I use this every day”

I bought this wonderful bag in Spatial brown. It has 8 outside pockets which means I can find anything I want without looking at it. My financial items do not fall out accidentally and my smaller things like pills, lipstick and misc do not end up at the bottom. Sunglasses have their own zippered compartment as well receipts or whatever items you carry. I am wanting to buy another in black someday too!

“This is a showstopper!”

Friends who carry designer bags couldnt believe how perfect this bag is in every way. The leather quality, seams and features, and the mustard color are all perfect!

“My first backpack”

I am a high school chemistry teacher and I have never owned a backpack. I use a messenger back and I thought it was time to try something new. I searched through many backpacks on Novica and finally decided on this one. I am so glad I did. It is simply gorgeous and the leather is so soft. When my wife say it, she fell in love with it. She will probably be asking me to get one for her. I cant wait to start bringing it to school. My students are going to be so envious when they see this. Extremely pleased with this purchase.

“Very well designed -- good quality leather. Great size for small person”

The Mysterious Traveler backpack is well designed to use as a small brief case or day pack. And its *just* the right size to fit comfortably--and be snug against my back. Im 54 and often a backpack will be too big to fit well, so this is an important point for someone small. Adjustable straps make it fine for someone larger. The currant color leather is very nice, tho I found the leather a bit harsh to the touch. Novicas excellent customer service said its top quality leather that would soften with use. But that I could exchange it for the black leather version. I did request the exchange, and the black leather is soft from the start. A new design element in the black version is a bright plaid lining that--compared to the original dark lining--makes it easy to find things in the pack. This sturdy backpack will serve me well for a long time. Thank you João Carlos Silva!
