Shelley Burton –
I received my Ellie Daily bag today. It is very stylish. The big problem I have is that the straps are not adjustable enough for the bag to fit comfortably on my back. Looks like I might have to take it to a boot maker to have them shortened. I can understand some of the comments about the water bottle holder being a little small but I have found a bottle to fit.
Arden Baltimore –
I am delighted with this bag. It is larger than I expected. There are plenty of compartments for a variety of items. The only downside is, if you live in the UK it takes 12 days to arrive. So order with plenty of time to spare if it is a gift.

The bag worked very well for almost 5 years before the zippers broke. it has a lot of good pockets and features that I really appreciated! the only thing that didn’t work so well was that the back straps could not be tightened enough for it to sit ergonomically on the back. it was therefore very inconvenient to use the backpack when I needed to carry several heavy items. But I’m actually very happy with the design and everything! just get straps that can be adjusted more and strengthen the zipper and I’d buy a new one!

I have both the smaller and larger version of this backpack in blue. I’ve had both for about a year. I admit to being a backpack collector! I have way more than necessary but I enjoy switching between them and enjoying the different colors and designs. That said, the Ellie is my go- to bag. Lots of storage, plenty of pockets and compartments. The fabric and materials are high quality and very comfortable to carry. The straps never cut into my shoulders as some bags do. (I’m 66 and comfort is very important!). My only suggestion is to make the water bottle pocket larger. I have a bag by another company who shall remain nameless, and that pocket is excellent. It will hold one of my drink bottles with no struggle to make it fit. If you’d improve this feature, the Ellie would be perfect. I highly recommend this bag.

Love this bag. It’s my daily work bag!! Good size and definitely spacious. Want to get the dark green but sold out… Pls restock!!!

4 years strong. I brought this bag 4 years ago and it has served me very well as a work bag. I wish i got the bigger one but it was still a great bag. Just this year the zips went but i did tend to over pack it. Definitely be purchasing another one, maybe the seana this time. Worth every dollar.

Bought the red mini Ellie, 2 weeks ago and arrived just in time for my Okinawa & Taiwan trip. Met all my needs in terms of packing for a red eye flight. Fared quite well during a storm, water resistant material. Straps fits me well. I’m 1.66m. Looks great! Would recommend!

Its the best. Its perfect on the shoulders and I am 5.3. Happy with the purchase for the quality of the bag. Feels luxurious.

I have bought this backpack two years ago but I have been stolen. This bag is both clever and smart but the straps are too long even when adjusted at the smallest size Also, they are slippery and keep falling off my shoulders . Do you intend to change those straps ? if yes, I would buy another bag quickly …
Kitty –
Love this backpack. Bought it a few years ago for traveling with my 15” laptop so it’s been around the world with me! It’s the perfect size and not too bulky It’s perfect for putting on top of my cabin case as it has the extra strap to hold onto your luggage handle. The extra pockets are super handy… couldnt do without them, plus the charging socket is definitely handy when you are out and about and need a charge on the go. The shoulder straps are also very padded and comfy unlike my old backpack. I also bought the rain cover as being in the U.K. but I’ve only found that I’ve used it once when I’ve remembered !! I’m so glad I bought this bag as I held out for so long with other alternatives and looking for something cheaper. I’ve definitely got my monies worth as the design is classic and timeless so I continue to use it everywhere for work or days out. Would recommend to anyone thinking about it.
Kei Minami –
I like the design of the bag. There are different pockets. But the straps are slippery and it keeps falling of my shoulders. The bottle pocket is too small. The luggage strap is too thin to hold your bag on your luggage.
Angie –
I have bought 3 of these in black and one red over the past 6 years, mainly for business travel and they are the best, sturdy , well made and can take a lot of weight. I am 6.1 , so perfect fit for me sailing through the airport with all of my gear (great compartments) and the luggage strap is awesome. I also have one as an everyday bag, no more handbags for me at 48! Lots of compliments on business travel where I got it from.

I just received the Ellie backpack today which was a gift for my daughter. Overall it’s made well and looks very smart. She loves it but the straps are too long even when fully adjusted. I see from other reviews that this has been a complaint for some time and nothing has been done for a simple fix such as this. She will decide whether she will keep it. Obviously Nordace is not looking at the reviews. I would have given 5 stars but for the straps.
KWP –
Stylish backback with good space and great pockets but two problems – straps too long, need to be shortened more so fits women correctly. Given other reviewers have been complaining about it for two years, one would think Nordace would ask manufacturer to change it. I am 5’5″ so not short and they are still way to big on me. 2nd issue is water bottle holder is slim and barely fits even my narrower water bottles and has no stretch. I like it overall but I need to shorten the straps myself so it doesnt hurt my back and bump bottom of my laptop into my butt when I walk
Bella –
I brought this bag for work, I wanted it big enough for a laptop and notepad along with my usual handbag essentials. It does not disappoint. Fits my laptop and accessories perfectly. The straps for me are ok, not short even when my laptop isn’t inside. Comfy to wear. It’s well made and I love the security pocket at the back. Will use for going abroad aswell. Really pleased I purchased. Worth every penny.
Debbie –
I am so happy with my backpack, great quality, functional, versatile, great looking, stylish. I even took contact with customer service when i had concern about import taxes, and they were fast at answering and my query was resolved fast and informative. I can highly recommend the product and company.
Carolyn –
I love this backpack and use it all the time. Especially when going out for a picnic and want to bring my camera and another Mende along with me, which can be quite heavy. I holds the weight no problems and I don’t feel like it’s heavy while wearing it at all. Extremely happy with my purchase.
Eveliina –
I just got my bag this week and I like it a lot. It is just the right size for my computer and still has a lot of space for other stuff. I don`t have the problem with straps that some people have mentioned. They are little long, but stay on my shoulders just fine and bag is easy to carry around. I also like the external USB port. No complaints, this was a good purchase. Looks nice and is light to carry. It’s perfect for a commute and for after work activities too.
Angel –
Served me well in VERY active use for some years. I used this backpack everywhere, school, meetings, sleepovers, travels and all kinds of daily events. Over time one of the straps fell off (NOTE: after my VERY excessive use of it) but I think it happened because the straps aren’t really easy to adjust for many, and they always felt a bit long. Though to me personally it never was an issue, and after it fell off I sewed the strap back up and it was fine to use again. Eventually I had to stop using this backpack because the zipper became unusable, which is understandable considering how much I used the backpack. Overall was the best backpack I’ve had so far, very chic look and unique as I never saw anyone else with it, lots of space inside for my stuff, and easy to transport due to its light weight and good size. Recommend 100%!
Kasia –
It’s a very pretty backpack and in general I would be happy with it if it wasn’t for the straps. I have the same problem that other mentioned. They are too long and they fell like they are about too slide off my shoulders so I keep udjusting them which is very annoying.
Nikita –
Love this bag but the straps are too long and given I bought it as a practical bag for my commute I will be sending it back to avoid back ache. Really frustrating as I like everything else about it but even when I shorten the straps as much as possible it sits way too low on my back. So disappointed.

Sheree –
A beautiful bag, I was impressed by the quality as soon as I opened it. There are enough pockets for my needs, I do wish the side pockets expanded just a bit more for my water bottle though. My biggest issue is with the straps – even at the shortest length it sits so low on my back. When I read other reviews complaining about the same problem I didn’t think it would be as bad as it was. I automatically want to hunch over to compensate. If the straps could be shortened this would be the perfect bag and I would give it 5/5. Not sure how much I’m going to use it now, definitely not when I need to put a lot inside the bag.
Chava B –
Great bag, but not for someone who is 5″ as straps don’t adjust enough. Similar to other reviews, neck and shoulder pain was caused.
Destiny –
Nice backpack
Michelle Morgan –
Love it – had it for nearly 2 years – still looks like new. Great capacity – I used it for an overnight stay in Paris and I am not good at ‘packing light’. Super design and quality. One of my good Facebook purchases.
Emma –
Love it but!!!! Straps can’t be adjusted enough, and left mark on my shoulders.
Going to see if I can shorten the straps myself. If not a very expensive mistake
Yvette –
Great bag however the straps cannot be adjusted enough. My own fault for not looking into this before purchasing. Didn’t notice until used bag for first time which after returns dates & tag removed. I’ve adjusted it to it shortest length – still not enough. Shoulders & neck suffered from the pulling. With or without laptop this still happens. Annoyed such a waist of money but lesson learned my side. Suggest adjustments at front when can adjust like a school bag.
ash –
I’m in love with this bag. The straps are comfy and it holds so many things! I’ve fit two laptops, an iPad, 2 large planners, an umbrella, a water bottle, a large makeup bag, and all my chargers into the bag. My favorite feature is the USB charging port on the side of the bag. I keep a slim power bank plugged into the bag and kept in one of the front pockets.
Barbara D –
I debated about getting this Ellie backback or the Sienna. In the end I chose the Ellie in pink. I love it. I think that it is the perfect size. I wanted it for airline travel as I am planning a trip to Canada. When It is full it is quite heavy for me (65 years old) and the Sienna would have been just that much bigger. Great backpack and fits enough stuff for two days plus a bit extra! Great quality and seems to be very well made. I use it all the time, it has become as useful as my purse.
Selena –
Super cute and functional backpack! Charging port is great and the fabric repels rain. However, it would be nice if the side pockets could expand more (if you put a water bottle in them it pushes into the interior of the bag) and if the straps could adjust to shorter lengths (because of how the straps and hardware are attached, the straps can only be adjusted to a set length).
Patricia –
Looks great, nice pockets, like the secret back pocket and the luggage slide on the back. It’s light weight. Love the power bank pocket and port. It’s just a little small for my travel. Guess you can’t have it all.
Jo –
Good quality material, lovely colour (I ordered the blue). Not as large inside as I thought it would be from the pictures. Water bottle side pocket not big enough for my chillys bottle when bag is full. Shoulder strap material very slippy does not stay on shoulders.
Alisha Richardson –
They look very nice and comfortable to have every to go I really need one of those .
Shasha –
Perfect backpack for traveling. Loads of space and very stylish. I was hesitant at first but thought I would try it after reading the reviews… And I love it!!! Slightly bigger would have been better but still loads of room
Jess Pratley –
This is by far the best bag I have ever bought. The different compartments make travelling so easy. I know exactly where everything is kept. The hidden pockets are amazing for safety. It’s the perfect bag and looks good too.
Josie Mauricio –
I purchased your red backpack and loved it. Now I’m looking to buy the black one, but noticed it’s out of stock. Do you know when you’ll have the black backpack in stock?
evikont4u –
I didn’t expect to receive it so fast.. I had it in 3 days!!!! It’s amazing.. I love the colour and the quality, it has a lot of space and it’s wonderful.. I would definitely recommend it..
Timothy Rabbett –
I just ordered a Nordace Ellie and requested black but site says it will ship blue. Anyway to change that to BLACK
Angela –
Lovely bag and really spacious. Only complaint is that the straps are too long so sometimes I get a back ache!
Laurine Cretenet –
This bag is just awesome. I was a bit hesitant buying it, but I have no regrets. It is elegant, spacious, and I love the fact that I can charge my phone or tablet if I need to. I’ve only been using this bag since I bought it! It’s just perfect, water resistant, the design is so great and it is of very good quality.
Annika Tännström –
Absolutely love it! Got it as a gift, now it’s the only bag I use, especially going abroad. It holds everything, fits under the seat in the airplan/train. Easy access to everything. Especially like the smaller pockets and the USB-charger, which simplifes life ”on the road”. Only one problem – my daughter also loves it and tries to ”borrow” it… Probably have to get her one of her own
Nikita –
I love this backpack! i was a bit hesitant buying it only because it had like 1 review but i dont regret my decision at all. The material is water resistant and great quality, there are enough small compartments to fit everything. The only thing to keep in mind is that the computer (mine is 15.6″) barely fits, but it will do. In conclusion i would really recomend this backpack.
Lynn Stedman –
Just loaned mine to my sister. Hope I get it back!
Clare –
I am really happy with my bag, it is exactly what I wanted for my daily commute, it holds my laptop, chargers, papers and breakfast/lunch and looks really stylish – several of my colleagues have asked me where I got it from as they have struggled to find a suitable laptop bag at a reasonable price. Would recommend
