I purchased this bag for my recent trip to Australia. I was looking for something that could act as a personal bag but also a carry on when needed. This bag worked beautifully. It was roomy enough to carry all my running gear and personal items, and it never felt overstuffed. I especially love the toiletry and electronic bags and pockets. It made going through security really easy. I purchased the Sangria Pink bag. I'm impressed with how well this bag is crafted and the material makes it feel solid.
First domestic flight with carry on only using Bento backpack for work. Made travel much easier. Convenient external pockets. Very comfortable straps. Easy access to bag contents. I can pack my laptop & tablet if I wanted to. I can only imagine how many edits went into creating this design. If you're a frequent business traveler, the bento backpack is worth the investment.
I can’t believe how well organized this bag keeps everything and how much I can actually stuff into it. I only travel with a backpack so being able to access contents without everything having to be pulled out to dig around at the bottom makes life so much easier. It’s actually fun to pack this and unpack this. Get it! You’ll save money and baggage fees and then it pays for itself.
This is a great backpack, I love all of the pockets and compartments. It kept me organized throughout my trip. I easily packed for a week combined with a carryon roller bag. Good quality.
I was an "over packer" and needed to change. After seeing the Nomad Lane Bento Bag on my favorite YouTube channels I had to see for myself. I ordered the color Dawn which is a lovely pale pink. It is well made and gave me more room for my personal bag items. That then allowed me to get the rest of my things into a carry on bag. It was so easy to organize the bag. It's perfect for weekend trips without a carry on. I am traveling lighter and happier these days.
I will be using the Bento bag for the first time this weekend for an overnight trip and I love all the little extra features. I wish the clear pouch had been slightly larger but I’ll make it work. It would have been helpful to have an insert packing suggestions for the spaces. I pulled up a YouTube video for that. The creamy yellow color is beautiful and looks great with my olive suitcase which I’ll also use on future trips.
Beautiful, well made very organized bag. Glad I finally purchased this bag
A traveler’s delight! Truly the best compression packing cubes on the market. The zipper is sturdy and I love the mesh too which gives your items some extra give. Lastly the 3/4 zipper design is a win win. In the biggest cube, I fit 12 shirts, as you can see in the photo.
This bag is perfect for travel, concerts, or any excursion where you have your essentials secure and you can be hands-free.
This bag is great. It has lots of pockets for organizing and I love that the interior is light so it is easier to find things.
They fit perfectly into my bento and my backpack. The build quality is terrific. They are, in a word, perfect.
Received my Bento Backpack MUCH earlier than expected (originally was due to ship in November, so it was a treat to receive it in August, since I have a LOT of travel upcoming!). I already own the original Bento bag, so was familiar with the style of organization. Got it one day, travelled for a 3 night/4 day trip about 3 days later. It held all the clothes I needed. The dedicated spots for toiletries and chargers/connectors were just right! I did not carry a laptop, but could have done so, and I did carry an ipad and a kindle, no problem! Basically everything I needed for the trip, which combined some touristing and some work. As it happened, I took just the shoes I was wearing, but I could have slipped a second pair in had I needed to. In one front pocket, I carried snacks and a bag with various needs (eyeglass cleaner, tide-to-go, etc...) and in the other I carried my over-ear noise-cancelling headphones (so not buds, the big kind) and they fit nicely.
The price continues to stun me a bit for a backpack, but the quality and organization and capacity in the end makes it a worthwhile investment.
It is comfortable to wear as a backpack, even fully loaded. And I appreciate that it does NOT have a lumbar strap, which makes it easier to carry from the top handle when needed.
I love that it fully opens like a suitcase, that was the feature that completely sold me on this! When I first ordered and the color I wanted (venetian violet) was listed as a November delivery I thought of it as a Christmas present to myself. But it came late August and my birthday is first week of September, so now it was my birthday present to myself and I couldn't be happier with it!
I got 2 large Tomadachi Sling bags, 1 black and the other is dusk which is my favorite color. The quality is excellent. The size is great for traveling as it is so spacious. I haven’t use the large size yet but I’ll surely bring 1 with me in my forthcoming trip to Italy. I’m happy with my small and large size Sling bags!
This bag is stunning. Will be perfect to use for a carryon and the quality is outstanding :)
Excellent quality. Arrived quickly. Love my Bento bag!
I am currently on holiday in Ireland for 10 days. The bento bag helps me stay organized. I love the tech and toilets bags. I was able to pack in a rolling carry on plus the bento bag and still had room to spare.
This bag is both beautiful and functional! It’s the best bag I’ve ever used for organization!! I definitely can bring more and stay organized easily! Fantastic purchase!!
I absolutely love my new Dusk color Bento Bag! I already have it in Sand, and just had to get this color! It works perfect on trips, and easy to get to everything!
I love my bag. I got the Venetian Violet, and it is gorgeous. It has a lot of room to travel with my work needs, a change of clothes, a small meal on a long trip, and my important personal items. It also goes beautifully with my new luggage set. I love it. I have a business trip, Hawaii trip, and a oversea trip coming up and I feel I made a good choice in my personal item bag.
This bag has so many compartments which pleases me. The exterior is a nice material that makes it easy to clean up if it smears with dirt. The pop of color in the interior is what sold me. I love the easy to see pockets where. Nothing gets lost. I take it to work, church, and on short trips. Best bag I have invested this year. Thank you, Nomad. You did a great job with this bag.
Excellent! A small bag with a lot of room and easily accessible pockets.
Well made, and pockets are well thought off
Exquisite bag … beautiful design … very spacious
