Gifted it to my daughter for her travels and she loves it🤗
I desperately needed a personal item sized bag for a United flight to Europe. So happy to finally find this one. It’s great! Now I just hope it really flies with United.
All my bags from Nomad Lane are the best. This is a lovely and well made backpack with the most thoughtful pockets. I can’t wait to bring it on my next trip!
I haven’t used the bag as of yet 3/13/24 because my trip isn’t for another two weeks, but I can wait to use it as my personel item on my American Airlines flight.
I am an early packer because I always think I’m going to leave something and I already know what I’m putting in the bag along with my carry-on.
Ho approfittato delll’occasione del lancio dei nuovi colori per avere lo zaino Ikigai in omaggio.
Splendido,esattamente la misura che volevo e pure elegante 💙
I love the 2 pieces I purchased. They're very chic yet functional and I know I'll get a lot of use out of them.
I have two Bento bags (one black and one evergreen) and the Ikigai backpack in black. All work well as a personal item on most flights, and packing them is easy and functional. The Bento strikes the perfect balance of compartments and large space. I am not a huge fan of nooks and crannies just for the sake of having them. The Bento is so thoughtfully designed that the placement of smaller pockets and sleeves makes intuitive sense. I always know where my toiletries are. I always know where my iPad is. And I want to put them back where they belong because it just makes sense to put them in those spots. It's a beautiful bag, too.
The backpack is small, but I find it works well as a purse for short trips where I carry a lot of electronics but not a lot of clothing. Again, the design is so intentional, thoughtful, and easy to memorize, so I always know where my various items are. These products are worth the price I paid.
I've used this on a flight and it worked out well. I wanted to get away from my small roller bag - it took a little bit for me to figure out how to carry both a backpack and this bag using the strap (instead of the handles) but it worked out well. I would probably invest in some compression packing cubes to pair with this in future, but this is definitely a keeper for me.
As a retired airline pilot and frequent traveler I have found the Bento bag to be the best combination of personal item and carry on. It truly holds a sufficient amount of well organized items to suffice as your only bag for 4 days on the road.
I am a bag lover, and have numerous backpacks. But this one is the one that will always come with me for conferences & business trips. It's beautifully simple to look at, but has great features that make stay organized for work, notetaking, and self-care during busy workdays a breeze.
The package arrived well wrapped and a lovely presentation when unwrapping. The Bento Bag came with a soft over bag that can also be used to help protect the bag if/when stored between uses.
This is a lovely bag, is thoughtfully designed and appreciate the fact that it will fit under an airplane seat easily. :) The Bento Bag is very structured; it holds its' shape even after filling it. I purchased it to use when I want/need to carry more office paraphernalia. (laptop, keyboard, mouse, supply/accessories, notebook (& possibly a portable monitor)). I have a 16" Dell laptop and it fits width-wise in the padded compartment and I can zip up the bag (snuggly). The Dell 16" laptop is similar width to a Dell 15", but taller. When I place my laptop into the padded compartment, I place a handkerchief over the laptop near the zipper to avoid any potential scrapes.
The interior area (opposite the laptop compartment) is where I place bulkier items. The outer zippered compartment is just right for notebooks or a thin packing cube.
The Bento Bag comes with an accessory tech bag & clear toiletry bag that fits in their easy to access outer zippered compartments. (I can also fit a slightly larger toiletry bag into the compartments.)
The water bottle holder on the side is another smart design (it zips open so you can place a bottle in it or zip it closed to keep it streamlined). Also, the trolley sleeve has a zipper and if you are not using the sleeve, when zipped closed creates another pocket.
Thank you very much for dreaming up such a wonderful bag!
I have owned a V1 Bento bag and it has been my indispensable travel companion. However, the new V4 is so much better! The improvements include a wider front pocket that is deeper and can now hold my over the ear headphones. The rear pocket can now be reached from the inner pocket. Plus there is now a water bottle holder! The original handles were made of webbing. The new thinner leather handles are much easier to hold. I am looking forward to using my new Bento bag for my next trip!
Although, I have not used the bag, I'm still loving it!! Great idea for a traveling bag!!
I wanted a roomy bag for work that would also travel well, and this is it. The color is lovely, and the fabric is sturdy. I like the fact that the laptop compartment has a separate zipper; it seems very soft and secure and fits my 15” Mac. The bag stands up on its own, which makes finding things inside easy, and it’s well organized inside. I love it so far.
The Ikigai slim backpack has it all. It has so much organization and so many multiple pockets but the best part of the backpack is the fantastic laptop padding and NO dangling strap ends. I am in love with this bag. I also love the hidden pocket that sits against your back when the backpack is on your back. Great place to hide your phone and wallet to keep pickpocket hands out of your stuff. Highly recommend everything about this bag.
As a retired couple, we often travel by air and have used cloth bags for under seat storage. That all changed with our beautiful, wellmade Nomad bags.These fit perfectly under seat and fit everything we need. We appreciate the shoulder strap as well as the handle for ease of carrying. The bag also looks very stylish and neat. We love them!

Ho preso la Bento Bag nel nuovo colore aegean blu e lo zaino ikigai nero.
Li ho fatti arrivare da mio figlio a Londra perché non c’è la spedizione in Italia e non vedo l’ora di vederli …figlio e Nomad Lane 💙💙💙
Looks like a nice backpack. Looking forward to using it. Love the pass thru for luggage.
I was so impressed with the overall quality of this bag! So many options for travel. I was amazed how much stuff I could fit in it. Glad I bought it!
I am satisfied with my recent purchase. Very recommended for travellers!
I bought this bag for an upcoming trip to Europe. I wanted to test drive it and took it on a week-long trip to Ohio. Boy, was I impressed. Although the bag is compact, it packs a lot! Three pair of jeans, 8 leggings, and 10 shirts ( all this was on one side)! The other side was shoes and toiletries. The bag is welll made, the material is one that can be wiped off with a damp cloth, and the zippers are stronger than some relationships! I loved the two pockets at the top for toiletries and electronics- I used one for medications. The best part is that the bag fits easily under the seat with room to spare. The most important thing is that the bag is very comfortable to carry even when filled to the gills! Excellent bag!
We call it the Mary Poppins bag. It holds so much stuff and when you think it’s packed full there’s somehow more space to be used. Amazing product. High quality.
This backpack helps keep you organized. I like the top handle as well. The side water bottle pocket is helpful and saves space in the bag.
