Alchemy Goods Brooklyn Backpack

I did a lot of research before getting this bag, and I'm a bit obsessed. It is made from recycled bicycle tires and so holds up in the elements. I travel frequently not only for my commute but on airplanes zooming around the country. I do not go easy on my bags and have had mine protecting my laptop on long walks in storms. It has always held up. It also fits a lot without feeling bulky, which is critical for me as a doctoral student with a lot of books who is only about five feet tall. I know I'll have this bag for a long time and sing its praises to everyone I meet.

Comfortable and hip. People ask where I got it. Love it.

I love this bag because it's pretty sleek looking and I'm not going to lie...I feel like a badass when I'm carrying it. It has just the right amount of pockets, fits my 15" mac book pro beautifully and I don't even need a sleeve for it, and holds up against the weather. Also, if I want to shine it up I just use spray some tire cleaner on a cloth and wipe it down and it's shiny and glamorous. I got the one with the gray zippers but I'm kind of coveting the one with the orange zippers...so I might eventually get one of those too. This has ruined all other backpacks for me...I had another brand that I swore by before and it's dead to me now. Also, this bag is slim but holds a bunch of stuff and distributes the weight of what is in the bag way better than my messenger bag. I can't recommend this enough...it's functional and stylish.

Awesome bag! Love it!
