This bag is flexible and so easy to travel with. I love the compartments, the space, and the comfortable straps. Highly recommend it!
I purchased this bag in 2019. I mostly use it for work but have taken it on my travels many times. It’s a versatile backpack with the right amount of pockets and space. Love the material and how lightweight it is. It’s a solid bag!
I'll start by saying this is my 3rd Caraa backpack and I have well over a dozen other Caraa products, purchased over the last 8 years. I have a dark blue medium Stratus from the early days and I absolutely love it for traveling. I've been waiting a very long time for a large Stratus to come out in pink so I was delighted Mesa Rose was finally released! The color is great and it will be perfect for longer flights and international travel. Because I have been a long time buyer of this brand and know what they're capable of, here's the critical part of my review. While there are some "upgrades", overall I see cost cutting measures reflected on the bag. The bottom is no longer full leather with mesh air vent corners; instead it's the regular backpack material with little leather discs I guess meant to be feet, which doesn't quite make sense. There is a leather panel at the top back of the pack but that doesn't seem nearly as necessary. Despite still being in the product description, this new generation does not have an internal key leash, which was one of my favorite features (RIP). In fact, the key leash is my favorite in any bag. It's nice that the laptop compartment is now accessible from an exterior compartment, but I was surprised that they didn't think to make a false bottom, especially with the lack of leather bottom for protection. I also miss the easy access side zip but realize that had to be sacrificed when the exterior laptop compartment was introduced. All that said,…
I can’t say enough about his backpack—it is exactly what I hoped for in compartmentalization, lightness, variety, and overall aesthetic. The Mesa Rose color is a dreamy berry-rose shade that draws attention, yet isn’t loud, especially when it’s going to be my frequent travel companion. This is my seventh Caraa purchase (lucky #7), so at this point I know this brand will continue to deliver and grant a sojourner’s wishes.
I went full monochrome, all black. Sleek, minimal, and matches literally everything in my closet. This set feels elevated but totally practical! I especially love the backpack’s compartments. Everything has its place. So good for daily commutes, work, and all three for weekend trips.
