Superb mix of style and function

This is a great all rounder backpack that fits many use cases. The laptop compartment is big enough for my Vivobook S15, and the main compartment is large and spacious. So far, I've put in a mirrorless camera, 2 lenses and a wireless headphone. There is another pocket on top of the bag which is quite deep. It does lack a little of the internal organisation pockets most bags seem to have nowadays, and the zipped main compartment is not an all-round zip, but for me this is non-issue. A great feature is that it stands up on its own, even when empty. I took it on a trip that lasted from 4am to 10pm and was still comfortable at the end of the day.  
Thanks to Gary, Maria and the rest of the team for getting this and the Hudson crossbody shipped to my hotel while I was on holiday in the US.

Awesome backpack

I really love my new Pro Executive backpack. So many little details that makes this such a great product, starting with the fact that the backpack stands by itself. I really enjoy the concept of having the executive folio designed to work with the backpack. A lot of appreciation to the team for helping with a special request. The level of support and customer care is outstanding.

Pro Executive Backpack

Wonderful bag that is beautifully designed and exceptionally well made. Very convenient for business travel with enough compartments and pockets. Extremely comfortable to carry that feels like a hiking backpack. To top it off, the support team led by Gary is fantastic! They were out of stock when I ordered but made sure I received a bag before I was to leave on a major trip.

Design details

STANDS UPRIGHT AND FITS A LOT

Fits everything for your mobile office. Ideal for shared office or remote workers without dedicated desks.  

 

"It's the little things that truly set it apart, like having it stay standing— a feature I didn't think about until I had it." - Brent W. 

THIS PRODUCT WAS DESIGNED BY THE COMMUNITY


This crowdsourced design involved customers from development to production.  Together, we collaborated on their requirements, features, and use cases. See how it all unfolded. 

 

The Pro Executive Backpack shows how useful a product can be when real people with real needs are behind its development. 

CARING FOR THE LEATHER 

 

We usually recommend not doing anything to the full-grain leather of your bag, letting it develop it's own beautiful patina over time. However, if your Pro Executive Backpack has Chocolate Leather, you may want to freshen it up a bit with a leather conditioner. The leather may darken a bit, so test the reaction first on a spot that's not highly visible. 

 

You can also freshen up the look of the leather, by smoothing out the marks a bit with heat from a hair dryer to spread the oils around. 

NOTE: This video of our classic Cozmo Brief and the Bolt Backpack uses the same distressed, full-grain leather as the Pro Executive Backpack
