Great backpack. It has a lot of pockets so you won’t rummage for your things. The minimalist design makes you look professional. Perfect size for petite people. I gave it a 4-star cause I think the external usb port needs more improvement. I just wish that it has option for type C cables, and I wish it can be fully closed so that I won’t worry about it getting wet. But overall, this is one of the best bags out there.

Best Pack Pack I’ve ever owned! I was torn between purchasing the mini or normal sized Sienna and actually did buy the full sized version first, mainly because I liked some of the features it had that the mini didn’t. When it arrived it was just far too big for what I had in mind for its use – It’s a massive backpack. I wanted something compact for the airport, on planes and taking out with me whilst travelling on day trips, markets etc. So I kept the original Sienna for short trips where that will be my only luggage as it could definitely hold a decent amount of clothes. The mini, however was just what I was looking for! All the compartments were super handy to store passports, documents, my wallet, chargers, snacks and a little first aid kid. It was great to know my passport was out of reach of strangers in the pocket behind my back. I purchased the Anker Power Core+ 10050mAh Power Bank and it was the perfect fit for the pouch and held enough power to charge my iPhone from 0-100% ten times. The bag was super light and comfortable to carry, the straps didn’t dig in but I definitely would prefer if they were padded like the Large Sienna or at least had add-on pads that you could purchase separately. The retractable key holder was another great touch, we always kept our room and motorbike keys secured to it for safety and easy access. It also made a great spot for an AirTag so we could track our bag if it was lost or stolen. I do wish it had the retractable charging cord feature like the large Sienna, but it wasn’t a big deal to have to put our own cord away after use. It was awesome to have the USB port there so we could plug in and use our device without having to open the bag entirely and dig out a charger or find a power point. Game changer for long days out. Fits perfectly strapped on to our luggage handle which was awesome at the airport, I didn’t even have to carry it but my travel documents were always at reach. Great bag and would definitely recommend it! Its actually not super small like I expected either and would encourage trying it if you intend to use it for similar reasons to me! This would be a really good gift for people who like to travel too!

I this backpack! It is my everyday bag. I’ve had it for almost a year now. Fits everything I need. My coffee, lunch tablet and everything else I need in my day. It keeps everything organised and easy to access. It is the perfect size!

I got this mini backpack in May 2022. I like it so much for use every day. It just fits what I need for daily work with many compartment. I got the black color Unfortunately, the zipper head color faded away gradually, and it slipped out which the zipper is broken. I felt so bad that I didn’t realized the sewing is losing, otherwise I would reenforce the sewing not to have the zipper head slipped out. Since I couldn’t fix the zip, this bag can’t be used anymore.

This bag is great for day trips or one overnight. It looks sophisticated and can hold a fair bit. I was concerned about it getting dirty easily because I live a very active, messy lifestyle. But I used it daily on a two week trip and the kept using it for a whole summer before it started to look dirty. I cleaned it with Scotchguard fabric & carpet cleaner and it looked brand new! After washing it I sprayed it with Scotchguard dirt repellent to keep it clean. My bag had a couple smudges of bike grease on it but I’m pleasantly surprised with how easily it came clean!

I’ve had this bag since July now. I used it on a two week trip in Europe and in terms of size it was perfect. I always had my wallet, my water bottle, my passport, a sweater, a jacket and some snacks with me. It all fit very easily. Now that I’m back from my trip, I use it for university and my laptop fits exactly in the compartment if I zip carefully. It is a small 13”. It is very light, small and practical. The reasons I docked off 2 stars: 1) I chose the beige colour and the metal on the straps left rust marks on them. 2) The straps are not padded and my shoulders and back started hurting after a few days of carrying this bag around on my trip. I bought padded straps to go on top since. 3) If the bag was just an inch or so taller it could be a good laptop bag for laptops smaller than 15”, which is fairly common.

I absolutely love this backpack. I was a little nervous because it popped up on my Instagram feed and who knows what algorithm brought it to my feed . What I got was an incredibly useful back pack. The pockets are well placed (kudos to whoever though to put the outside side pocket into the design). The different packets let me keep a variety of things well organized. Wallet and ID’s well secured, water bottle easy to reach, phone and face mask also easy to reach. Little items zipped up so they aren’t rolling around on the bottom. I read the complaints about the narrow straps, but I wore it for a number of hours at a fair and never found it uncomfortable. I’m now planning to order a second one in black.

Would have been a perfect bag if it wasn’t forthe strap. Wish it had been made with the same straps as the regular Siena. Again, the choices of mini backpack for short people is not great, you lose important features when sizng fown which seems silly.

A nice backpack, except for the shoulder straps. If had the same shoulder straps has the Siena smart backpack, that would be perfect. Just the insulated water bottles can be very heavy. When traveling, and being gone all day from your hotel, campsite, or home, you don’t want sore shoulders.

What a dream! We went on a 19 day trip to Paris and Italy with our three kids (14, 12 and 9). This pack is perfect! I was able to have everything I needed in a super small space that was light weight. This freed me up to then grab a kids upper heavy backpack when we needed to dash for a gate or when their exhausted bodies just couldn’t do it anymore. It was perfect. It was so perfect that I now wish I had one of their large carry on bags. But alas, you can’t wear two bags! It was able to carry our important documents and passport in one pocket (love the passport sleeve!). Tons of face masks in yet another cleverly designed pocket, with a third outside pocket for non-important documents. I attached our apartment’s keys to the key holder and always knew where it was. The inside handled a kindle, a Bose headset with case, a small notepad, Blistex, pen, epi-pen and Benadryl, some Band-Aids, pain pills, eye drops, etc. And the phone and battery pack. It was kind of full when my quart sized bag for security and the headset were in it, but it all fit and I knew exactly where everything was! I didn’t get flustered looking for stuff, and it was so light I barely felt like I had something on me. I highly, highly recommend this bag!

Pleasantly surprised! The Nordace Siena II Mini is well made and well packaged for international shipping (Canada)! The bag arrived earlier than expected and seems durable. I’m already loving all of the pockets and happy with the overall size of the bag. I’m 5’3 and the regular Siena II looked too big; the mini is perfect! I can’t wait to travel with the Siena II mini!!

Had this bag for my birthday. I love it. It has so many compartments and if ideal for everyday use. Very good quality backpack.
Will definitely purchase from Nordace again.

very nice backpack
