   Delivery was very fast, and I love the backpack! I usually need to bring my laptop, food and training clothes (includiens shoes) to work every day and it all fits in the backpack :)) Quailty is as good as i expected. Can’t wait to travel with it.

   I got this backpack for work because I see clients a lot and I travel quite a bit and it’s amazing! I can comfortably fit all my things in, and is super comfortable to wear. It’s got this nice professional clean look and I love it! Def worth the buy!

   I use this bag for all my work trips. It’s the perfect size and has a surprisingly large capacity. I especially like all the different pockets and compartments. I took one star off because the zipper snags clothes (e.g. Even when I’m reaching into the bag and my arm/sleeve happens to touch the zipper). However, still one of my favourite travel backpacks!

   It’s amazing and love love love it!
   I’ve gone through different designs over the years and this is by far the best.
   The compartments, smooth zippers, light weight, simple and nice design… the bag just ticks all of what I needed.
   So much so that I’m purchasing a second colour.

   I love my bag. I got the dark grey one and it’s gorgeous. All features are just as mentioned, and the pockets are great to store smaller things. My favorite is the waterproff one in the main compartment, as I no longer need to carry an extra purse just to store makeup and other wc things.

   The bag is pretty big. I went on a four day trip, only used it and managed to take an extra pair of shoes inside!

   It is also light, when empty. I find it easy to carry on my back, it makes a good distribution of weight and the straps are comfy.

   I just don’t understand why they made two side pockets at the front instead of just a bigger one. I can’t fit things at the same time on both sides, unless they are very fin.

   I also got the bag for clothes (space saving), and it totally works, I’m glad I ordered it.

   Overall, it is a life-time bag for me. It changed the way I organize my bag and how accessible things are.
   (No more need to take everything out, bc you can’t find a specific thing )

   Congrats to the designers.

   Seriously such a great backpack. Holds so much stuff! Travelling to Japan with it, and having all of this space is just a lifesaver. It took 10 days to receive it in Oklahoma.

   I got two of these bags – one for me, and one for my partner. My partner absolutely loves it as he carries a lot in his backpack from day to day and he can fit more in this backpack than his old one and it looks much less bulky. I’ve started using mine every day as well and I love all the pockets and compartments – love being organised. Can’t wait to go on a big trip so i can pack all I need in this bag. Good stuff

   Don’t order it during holidays or you’ll wait for it quite long. Otherwise it’s the best thing I ever ordered, it’s big enough so don’t worry about that, and it’s also very stylihs and useful.

    The bag arrived after 7 days. It was perfect. I immediately use it. Super convenient and stylish. Every compartment has it’s own usage so you will not be confused where you put your things!! Super love it! I will definitely use it on all my travels ♥️

    Love this bag! Perfect size and smart pockets. I will be ordering another. I really wanted the light color, because of the lighter interior is easier for me to find small dark items! It seems like the exterior and interior colors match. I originally got the grey color to cover travel dust and dirt, but the inside is also a dark grey which makes it harder to find dark color cables etc. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase.

    I gave 3 stars because the “leather” is not leather. It’s vegan leather aka plastic. The tag just had a sticker over the leather text that read “vegan leather”. LOL! Probably why they marked down the price to make it seem like a deal.

    I love this backpack! It’s made really well and exactly as described. I never write reviews, but this product surprised me. I love how it keeps it’s shape. All the pockets are roomy. The water bottle holder stretches a bit and I can fit a small water bottle and even my travel coffee mug with no problem.

    I love this bag so much, it’s unlike any other bag I’ve ever purchased. When wearing it my back doesn’t hurt in the slightest and I love how many pockets there are you can fit anything in here. I love the laptop pocket and the USB on the outside of the bag so much. I’m so happy with my purchase, I love it.

    Like some of these reviewers, I was skeptical about this at first. But I had been looking for a minimalist travel backpack with a separate laptop compartment for awhile, got tempted and decided to give this a try. After using it for 2 overseas trips and about 3 months now, I can say this has been one of the best purchases I’ve made. Really happy with it 🙂

    I LOVE my backpack. Was definitely skeptical buying something off an instagram ad, but it did not disappoint. I’ve had mine for a couple months now. I use it everyday for work and I also brought it out of town for a 4-day weekend as my only piece of luggage. The compression pouch was a lifesaver. I am usually someone who overpacks, it is nice to practice more mindfulness when packing and having a wonderful backpack to help with that. Highly recommend!! — for work and travel 🙂

    Love it! I was a bit nervous about the quality since I was ordering online, but it’s very well made. I used it as a carry on and a day pack on a recent trip to Europe. It held everything I needed and kept it well organized. The water bottle slot also doubled to hold a small umbrella, coming in handy for rainy days in Rome.

    Don’t be afraid to order! I promise you’ll love it❤️ I wasn’t sure about the quality because I could only go by reviews and there was no way to see it first hand but I’m so happy I ordered anyway. I’ll definitely order another color soon just to have. Super light but durable. My favorite backpack ever!! I use it everyday for work. I have to carry so much to my workplace. It keeps everything organized.

    First time I bought something advertised on social media. Best backpack I’ve owned so far.

    I’ve had the bag for over a month now and am impressed by how well it protects my belongings from the rain (it rains quite often in England). I got the beige one and it still doesn’t look dirty despite all the rain and my putting it on the ground. The zippers run very smoothly and I love all the pockets and compartments. However, I can’t fit many books in so if you’re looking for a backpack for school/uni it may not be the best option. Also wish it had card and pen slots, as well as care instructions.

    Order Siena Backpack grey colour and received it in 7 days, earlier than expected. Plenty of compartments which is good.
    Love the design and colour, even the grey colour is not exactly as it looks in the web, it’s a little bit more brownish than grey but still love the colour. The strap foam could used better and stronger one to make it more comfortable on shoulders.
    The zipper also could be better with the stronger and material.

    Ordered Nordace Siena grey color and received it in one week.
    Pros :
    – Love the design and color, even the grey color looks a bit brownish and not exactly as advertised but still looks great.
    – Plenty of space and compartments.

    Cons :
    – the straps could use thicker foam and zippers could use the stronger ones.

    I can’t rave about this backpack enough! I hike with it, travel with it, use it for work. It’s so versatile! It also holds a ton. I’ve fit 2 laptops, an ipad, a book, a DSLR camera and my necessities all in the backpack. I love all the little pockets and compartments. The attention to detail is great. Mine is about 6 months old and it still looks brand new.

    I ordered it on September 30, when the white bag was out of stock.
    They sent my bag on October 5th.
    Fortunately, I received the parcel on the National Day of Taiwan (October 10th).

    I can’t wait to open it. Its color is very beautiful, the shape of the bag is very good, the pocket is as much as the official website says, the space is very large and can hold a lot of things.

    On October 19th, I carried it to Cebu to travel. The six-day tour was very perfect and convenient. I really liked this bag very perfect.

    I look forward to carrying it to the next trip next time.

    Everything is great about the bag except I did not get the usb cable, there is fabric covering where it should be protruding from. Even if I bought my own cable It would be useless since I can’t use it :/ I’m very upset about it

    Travel quite often for work and wanted a backpack that looks smart but not too old. Perfect fit for my 15” laptop and the compartment makes it so convenient to remove through airport security. My only regret is that I didn’t get the compression bag for clothes for super short trips.. it fits perfectly under the seats on planes as well and makes keeping stuff in the bag neat and tidy.

    Nordance – Backpack

    I ordered this item on September 19. I took about two weeks for it to arrive. I started getting concerned because it literally arrived a day before my trip. Aside from the I inspected the bag and the stitching seems sturdy. The color is more of a beige. I can’t say for sure if the straps are leather. They feel more plastic like to me. Other than that, I love it. It has plenty of compartments. This is great as I am needing it as a travel backpack. The dimensiones are pretty accurate. I hesitated ordering it because I couldn’t find any other reviews besides the ones on the website.

    It arrived earlier than I expected, about 2 weeks, so that’s great. I’ve red, as black and blue were out of stock. Colour looks good but try not to wear orange, looked odd.
    The bag is bigger than it looks, I’d prefer it too be a little smaller, it’s bulky. But apart from that, perfect. Lots of pockets for various usages, bag stays up straight and ‘square’ with or without things. Quite comfortable to wear and walk around. The secret zipper is great for small wallet or passport, not phone (mine is Note 9). Still figuring where to store my phone, safe and accessible. The most satisfying part is , it looks like how it looks like in the video so that’s a credit.

    I go my bag yesterday and I love it. I was a bit worried when I placed the order but I did anyway because I needed the features it has for an upcoming trip. I’m glad the wait was worth it (around a week, I think) and I’m thinking of getting more for my family.

    Ordered 14 and arrived 21 September – impressive:
    To address some of the negative comments
    1. Water bottle holder – takes my Chilly Bottle perfectly
    2. Has key ring in back pocket
    3. Inside has plenty of space for pens -I use a pencil case so poke it in one compartment
    4. Quality of material inside – well seems fine to me but we’d need to hear from someone next year I guess!
    So in short very pleased. Bought 2 – one for husband.
    I didn’t bother about tracking because it is NOT Amazon (whom I love) but a smaller company so I expected it to take a week and would only have contacted Nordace after that…
    Husband thinks you’d need raincover (we have one between us) for hiking but in all honesty I’m not bothered as not a bad-weather Walker.

    Bought it for husband he loves it! Ordered on the night of 11 Sep 2019 and it arrived in Singapore on 20 Sep 2019 night! Was worried for a bit because it took 5 days for Nordace to update the status, and another few days for Ninja Van to update their status. Ninja Van didnt really update the status, only had received at processing centre and the next thing it’s been delivered. Hahahahaa. Nevertheless, glad I got the item in good condition!

    Indeed, similar to some of you, I was doubting when I saw the advertisement on instagram. But since I got hooked with the design, I searched the reviews of this bag extensively. Found not much, but in the end decided to purchase. Finger crossed.

    One month later (quite reasonable to reach this part of the world), I received it. And I tried it. And have been using it daily since for work. I need to say I am satisfied. All the money, the wait, and the anxiousness got paid off. Neat design, lots of compartments, nice color (charcoal with orange accent), very functional, and lightweight. It retains it shape, and can stand on its own when I put it on the floor. Even when I put lots of stuff in it, it doesn’t hurt my shoulder or bag since the distribution of weight is balance. And yes, I can put lots of things here. Laptop, notes, book, documents, wallet, sunglasses, pens, tissue, you name it. Even with some space left still.

    I bought the compression bag and the toiletries bag also. The compression bag works decently. And the toiletries bag I use it daily to put all my EDC gadget accessories. It is perfect!

    I am going to use it as my only bag for few days trips soon. I can’t wait to try it out. But I am sure it will also work perfect. Just hope it is durable enough to be used for years 😀

    I purchased this bag in May 2019 as my personal carryon (in addition to my suitcase) for a domestic US airline trip. It fit within the size restrictions of the airline and I was hoping it would also work as my new commute bag when riding the bus or BART to San Francisco.

    The bag was perfect for my trip and has replaced my bulky commute backpack that I used to pack too much stuff into. I have learned to embrace what I call my new minimalist backpack. My bulky backpacks have been donated.

    As with other reviewers the cup holder is a bit annoying as it only fits smaller coffee travel cups or water bottles; however, it is still quite functional with the appropriate smaller size. I do wish it was bigger though. If Nodace improved the size, I would buy a new bag just for that feature as options are limited. I find that I will typically carry my coffee cup and stash my keys in the bottle pocket as it is super snug and I have no fear that my keys will fall out of that pocket.

    The laptop pocket is large enough to add a notebook or a folder or two in addition to my laptop. I have also thrown in my computer glasses (in glass case) and mouse in that pocket. Also when traveling I was able to fit up to 3 magazines along with the laptop. Was pretty snug, but it still worked.

    The main compartment is large enough for me to place a medium size leather crossbody purse as well as a lightly packed neoprene lunch bag for my commute. If I have a large salad that I am packing or something I am worried about spilling, I will carry my lunch bag separately on my commute.

    The one thing that I learned was that you need to make sure the zippers are closed to one side. If you close them at the top as shown in the demo videos, the zippers will come open while you are walking several blocks and the interior will be exposed and the bag will start to flap on your back. This issue goes away if you close the zippers so that they are at one side.

    The security pocket is great. I am able to keep the backpack on and slip my clipper card in there during my commute as I am walking.

    Sometimes I will not put my purse in the bag and will just use the bag as a backpack purse without the laptop if going out to lunch while at work. It is super versatile.

    I purchased the beige bag as the charcoal black one was not available. I was worried that it would get dirty easily. It hasn’t, however, my newer jeans did rub onto the bag so it has a blue tinge where it connects with my back. No fault to the bag.

    I purchased the compression cube and the rain cover with reflective stripe (that I have nicknamed the shower cap). I wish I had purchased 2 of the rain covers. I used the cover over the bag while on the plane so I could slip it under the seat and use as a foot rest. I had to use a plastic bag to cover the underside of the bag. If I had two of the covers It would have worked better.

    The compression cube I tried out before my trip and I was not overly excited by it. I wanted it to compress more than it is built to do. It is a great cube, but my expectations were a bit too high. I did not use it for my trip, but am going to pull it out from my travel box and see if it will be practical in my bag for everyday commute use to stash a sweater in or thick scarf for the office that would be too hot while on my commute.

    Initially I was concerned about the price of the bag. Once I received and used the bag, the quality and features of the bag our worth every penny.

    Mine arrived today and I can’t wait to use it! Lots of lovely pockets and loved the finish and style. I do a lot of travel and it will be great for short trips and also to take on board longer flights as well as day to day business use. I would have given it a 5 but the USB ‘bit’ is rather fiddly and on testing it the piece in the bag pushed back inside and it’s difficult to insert my USB lead. Also, I need to take it out for a test drive tomorrow.

    Like some of the reviewers before I was worried about ordering this rucksack as I had never heard of the company before and wasn’t sure whether to trust the reviews before hand. But I can honestly say it was the best decision to buy this rucksack. It has lots of pockets inside and outside of the rucksack and the two front pockets are two separate ones which means there is even more space to put things. The water bottle holder fits my 500ml chilly bottle nicely. Overall it is a fantastic rucksack and really comfy to wear.

    I hardly ever leave reviews any more, but really wanted to for the Siena backpack. I LOVE it. There’s another review from an Angela Stubbs which was what finally convinced me to order the bag as I am usually very suspicious of things advertised on Instagram. I am so glad I did. It’s a great bag and I have already used it extensively when travelling. I think I could easily do an overnight trip (especially with the compression cube as an extra), and it’s great for daily use when I need to carry more than my laptop and purse. Delivery was brilliant – 5 days to the UK and I was sent tracking information the day after ordering. All in all very happy. Thank you’

49. Nina – August 28, 2019

    I got this backpack in black (it’s really charcoal) a couple of days ago. Very pleased with it! As advertised, it is spacious, lots of pockets and nicely built. I would’ve marked it as 5 stars except that it had an odor to it that I am still trying to fully take out. I aired it out for a couple of days, febreeze’d it twice and I’m finally able to use it. I am including the tag in the photos since it includes some features that I would’ve liked to know like “water resistant”. I bought the rain cover and it is right to size, and even has a reflective stripe which is not advertised! Great for dark rainy days I suppose!! Shipped to Maryland in about two weeks, which is not bad but the was a gap in updates at one point which worried me as i was starting to wonder if this company was legit. In today’s Amazon two day shipping world, we expect things faster and with constant updates, so Nordace, take notice! Overall, love the bag!
