Customer Reviews Baggallini Soho Backpack

I am looking for a day pack to carry as we travel in Europe. It needs to be comfortable enough to be carried all day as we sightsee and stylish enough to go from a soccer game to a cathedral to a restaurant. I ordered the Baggallini Soho Backpack along with the Knomo London Beuchamp backpack and the Sherpani Dispatch bag. The Baggallini Soho Backpack was the largest of the three. I like the pockets, the way the opening has a frame that keeps the mouth of the bag open or closed, and the travel sleeve that would slip over the handle of a suitcase. The padded shoulder straps are comfortable. This is a sturdy, functional bag and I was torn between it and the Knomo bag. Ultimately the Knomo won out because of it's gold-tone hardware and sleeker shape that are a bit more stylish.

I'm a commuter flight attendant and absolutely adore this bag! I was searching for a backpack that I could use on layovers, had tons of pockets and most importantly had the strap on the back so it can attach to my suitcase. And it has everything and more! Great quality, tons of pockets and space! Every day at work I come across ladies who want to know more about my bag and where can they get it! It's the best purchase you can make! Not only is it great for work but on layovers I can throw my stuff in it and go on an adventure! You can't go wrong with this bag!!

This bag is great for work! Looks more professional than most backpacks, and so functional too. Two outside pockets for easy storage and access, and two bottle sleeves on the side. It’s light weight, and can fit everything I need.

Very happy with this backpack - i use daily for work at an office/professional job. It's not too big but holds quite a bit. Zippers are very sturdy and overall great quality. I wasn't willing to pay for a Tumi but know several people with them and don't see much difference in terms of quality or style - just the name on the label. I do wish there was sort of a hidden / security pocket on the back i've seen on other bags for travel, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me, and not really needed for my daily needs. I'd recommend!

I love Baggallini. I have so many of them. I bought a black one just like this plum colored on a year ago and loved it. I've only used this new plum a week and it has problems. The zipper on top keeps catching. It is not a Smooth closure from either side and the pocket sunglasses goes in on the inside the stitching is already coming apart. I spent more on this bag then my original black soho bag and it's still in very good shape. Very disappointed.

Cute backpack. I didn't keep it as it was too big for what I wanted it for. I wound up with a smaller Baggallini backpack.

Was looking for a bag that was big enough to carry my laptop, 2 meals, and my small bag that wasn't oversized for my 5 ft frame. This backpack works perfectly. Have received several compliments. It is a plus that it stays standing without leaning against a surface.

All baggallini bags are true quality. This is a nice looking back pack. The top opens with a zipper- I think there is a break in period to get use to using the zipper on the top and it’s easier to use after a few days of use. I do wish there were some inside D rings for keys.

I just received this in the mail as a much needed birthday present to myself. I'm in love with it. I'm a transcriptionist and it's fits my 13" macbook, transcription pedal, notebooks, makeup bag, pens, checkbook, other electronic accessories and so much more. This reminds me of Mary Poppins bag! It's just what I was looking for. Baggalini is a great brand with excellent quality products with unique yet practical designs. I hope this bag stays available for years to come. I've had my baggalini crossbody purse with the same material for about 5 years and I've beaten on it yet it cleans up so nicely and held up very well. Thanks for making a great product!

I bought this bag about a month ago and have been traveling for work the entire month of June. I am absolutely in love with this bag! It organizes my laptop and paperwork in a separate sleeve and there is plenty of room for all other necessities. I actually love holding it like a briefcase. The front pockets allow for easy accessibility for my phone and wallet and the side pockets are great for drinks or makeup for quick touch-ups. I get a lot of compliments on my bag and it can be dressed up or down depending on my look!

This is a great bag in so many ways. I love that it stands up on its own and the way the compartments and pockets are arranged. I've only been using it for a few weeks, but it feels sturdy and well made. One minor thing is that I wish it had a detachable strap for keys like all my other Bagallini bags. But a bigger issue I have is that the straps do not adjust for the bag to sit high enough. With them tightened all the way, the bag hits me in the wrong part of my back, forcing me to lean forward a little when I'm walking (I'm 5' 6"). I had my husband try it on and, cinched as far as it would go, it fit on his back perfectly and he is 6'1". It would be awesome if the straps could be tightened to accommodate an average sized woman. Not a deal breaker, but still worth mentioning.

This bag is a bit heavy as far as smaller packs go, and I’m not crazy about the zipper for the main pocket (the way it’s curved on the sides can make it hard to zip quickly). However the overall style makes up for it. The water bottle pockets are roomy, the bag has plenty of space and compartments, and it’s cute! I got it in Olive and love the color.

It's the right size for a small woman's back. The one issue is the large zipper across the top; it doesn't zip easily.

I am really enjoying this bag. I'm 5'4" and it sits on my frame well. Only criticism - the zipper gets stuck every single time trying to go over the corner. I can always wiggle it through, but it is a bit annoying.

I purchased this bag last year for a family trip. I called it my Mary Poppins bag because it held so much stuff. I didn't have any issues with it. It held my money, chargers, tablet, extra clothes, book, sunglasses and snacks. Fit under the seat. I would purchase this again.

Purchased this bag for an upcoming trip and I have been hooked ever since. I use this as my "personal item" bag on the airplane since it fits perfectly under the seat in front of you. Passport and boarding pass in the front zipper since it is easy to grab, water bottle on the side pouch. There is even a slot inside the bag for a laptop. Well designed!

I bought this bag SEVERAL years ago for work. I'm a professor, and I had begun to develop shoulder issues from carrying a heavy bag on one side, so I bought this backpack style - saved my shoulder, and the bag is so fashionable! Every semester, countless students ask me about it. I should probably make a commission off the sale of these bags. I'm happy to see that the company still sells them. I have several baggallini bags, but this one is my all-time favorite. I love taking it as my "purse" on trips that require flights. It's not often when you buy something that several years later, you are happy that you bought it, but I am. Thanks Baggallini!

This bag has so many possible uses! It is obviously wonderful for traveling. I place my smaller crossbody bagg inside, along with a book, snacks, travel blanket, etc. On the outside, I pack 2 water bottles and travel documents. But besides air travel, it is a great weekend backpack to take when I visit my grandchild! It also becomes a work bag during the week. The straps are comfortable and adjustable and the sleeve for attaching to rolling suitcase is perfect!

This backpack has enough room for carry-on swimsuits/coverups (and wine) for boarding day. It works great for off-ship excursions essentials and new purchases. On our final night, it carries our necessities after baggage has been collected. One bag does it all!

I bought this for myself and I love it! It fits my laptop, my notebook and 1 inch binder that I take back and forth to work. There are spaces for all the necessities like pens, masks, office supplies, keys, and wallet. The top handle is very comfortable and when it is on my back it is very comfortable. The bag has many pockets for all the essentials and I highly recommend it.

I bought this backpack for my son's girlfriend for Christmas. She wanted one that was not bulky, but could fit her laptop, her ipad and a water bottle. She works with children in their home and school and she uses it all day. This backpack fit her needs perfectly! She loves the way it stays open until she closes it! I had looked at many websites and could not find another one that could compete!

I have owned lots of baggalini bags(past and present) and this one is probably my favorite. I travel a lot for work and although my previous baggalini laptop bag got a lot of use, it didn't open at the top like this one does so I was always digging for my things. I need something to fit my laptop, ipad (outside pocket is perfect for this just like my last bagg), phone, wallet, notebook and work papers, snacks, makeup, pens, sunglasses, cords and chargers and pashmina for the plane. This bagg firs it all PLUS and finally.. two water bottle pockets on the outside, just what I've been waiting for. I even managed to fit a smaller bagg in it to use a purse when I didn't need to carry the backpack around. Straps are super comfortable. This is the perfect bagg!!

Bought because it advertised it holds 15" laptop, but the bag is too small, will not close.

I ordered the bag in hopes of using it as a personal item for travel but the straps were too narrow for my comfort. Had it been a better fit I would have kept it. The bag has a stable base and is deep. There isn't a really easy way to access stuff at the bottom of the bag without taking things on top of it out. The water bottles will fit standard water bottles but if you have that is larger it's not going to fit well. There are an abundance of pockets on the outside for storing things you would need quick or easier access to. I ordered the French Navy and it was a beautiful deep navy blue color.

I love my bag! This backpack meets so many of my needs and I just love it. I am a bit disappointed in the quality of the stitching on the handles. I hadn't even had it for a full month before I noticed the stitching was starting to unravel.
