I loooove this backpack. It fits my 15” laptop perfectly, which is great because I ALWAYS lug it around because of work. I chose the Belvedere design because it is fun but still really clean and minimal, which is exactly my style. It’s also super durable. I use it for work and travel, and even took it on a hike once! If you're still deciding, you should just go for it. Worth the money!
Its bigger than I thought, and all good! I use for traveling, carrying stuff to work as a teacher, and my various crafts to classes. It's really pretty too!
This bag has worked as I intended. It's lightweight and has nice compartments inside to slide paper, palettes, brushes, water bottles, etc. I was shocked to realize it does fit my 16" Macbook. It is a tight fit and offers no protection for the corners (which is ok because it's not advertised to even fit that size). But in a pinch, it would work.
I bought this bag with the intention of controlling how much I bring to painting and flameworking classes and it works for that. It is not too big and not too small. Plus, I love that it slides over a luggage handle.
Absolutely LOVE my Essential Tote from Maika. I'd had it saved to a memo on my phone since 2022 and finally splurged to get one when I knew I would be traveling quite a bit in the span of a month. I've had it for four months now and it is the best! I love that it has a water bottle holder on the inside of the bag, it's got a perfect space for my laptop, and plenty of room for literally anything else I need to keep easily accessible under my seat on a flight. And the heavy-duty zipper to keep everything contained is wonderful! So far it's been on four cross-country flights, two 12 hour train rides, and I started using it as my daily work bag as well. It's still in excellent condition - I love that it's made from a heavier canvas type of fabric, so it feels very durable. I've gotten many compliments on it!
