The quality and workmanship of HQDUPS's high-end imitation bags are very satisfactory. The soft and delicate leather shows that the materials are quite good. The texture of the metal accessories also makes the bag look very high-end. The fine processing of details makes this bag look no less inferior to the original.

OMGosh I wrote a LONG full review (I’ve never written one) of the V3 Nomad Lane Bento and it deleted itself when I switched over to another app for a second. 😢 So, I’ll save that for another time, another place. :-) What I really wanted to say anyway was that, although I love the Herschel brand, love the hidden backpack straps, and the price is AMAZING, I would still prefer the Nomad Lane in this case. For the money, the Herschel is a great deal and looks like a great bag. But I wanted to add this here just in case someone was still trying to decide between the two. This is the reason I prefer the Bento without hesitation: On all versions of the Nomad Lane Bento Bags, there are pockets and accessible compartments that you only need to unzip one zipper on the top of the bag to easily access. By design, all your items should be very organized, so you should not have to “search” for anything. In an airplane, in the middle of a flight, if I need some lip balm or protein bar or cord or whatever, with an eye mask still on, I could bend forward, feel for the correct zipper, unzip it, grab my item, zip it back up, push it back under the seat, and resume snoozing. No problem. Personally, I would aesthetically prefer a less structured bag, but the Bento Bag is amazing, it needs the structure, and I would have a very hard time parting with it. Especially while flying or taking a long roadtrip. Nope. It’s just too good. To be fair, I know someone who travels quite a bit and decided not to use the Bento Bag. She didn’t care for the number of pockets in which you can store things. She felt she was always searching for the correct pocket. She ended up with a semi-structured tote with a big open design. On her bag there are very few places to tuck things away. She did keep the Bento Bag in case she changed her packing style though. So it really depends on your own personal preferences. There’s no wrong here, especially with brands like Nomad Lane and Herschel. One other thing, I coveted the Version 4 when it was released. But I have decided to stick with the Version 3 for now. Mostly because they changed the style of the main outer side pocket - it is no longer gusseted. They also did away with the outer charging port. The probably had a good reason. Maybe the new pocket style or the fact that the charging port has already started becoming obsolete without adapters. No one wants an obsolete tech feature on their bag investment. But I love the feature and hope I can continue to use it for a long time - with adapters. :-) However, if I lost my Version 3, I would buy a Version 4 in a heartbeat. I cannot travel without it… AND I love the magnetic phone pocket.

If I wasn’t taking a rollerbag to set this bag on, then I’d have to use a backpack as my only personal item/carryon. I can no longer carry a heavy shoulder or crossbody bag without hurting my already-injured back.

Thank you for this review! I found this backpack on Amazon last night and I wanted to find an in-depth review of it on YT, so this was very helpful. I don't need to pack it full to capacity as you did for the video, but I will need a personal item backpack that can hold enough for a couple of days here and there so that I won't have to take my carry-on suitcase everywhere during my upcoming 5 week trip.

This is the review I’ve been looking for! I’ll be purchasing my bag today.

I've been thinking about one of these bags for a while and this was helpful, thank you!

would you say the bottom sags? Or is it a sturdy bottom so it would hold its shape after all the items you place?

Hi, thanks for such a thorough and helpful video. One question: will this bag fit under an airline seat?

Over stuffed for Ryanair

What’s the brand name of the crossbody bag? I didn’t quite catch it. Thank you!

I was aold on this until i saw no backpack straps. Nice job on this though!

I have the mini convertible weekender bag. I’m taking a weekend trip in a few weeks for wedding in NY. I’m trying to figure out if I should take this as my personal item as I heard Frontier is very strict. I am just scared it will be too heavy to carry on my shoulder throughout the airport. Did you end up using this as your personal item on the United flight?

SO helpful - Thank you!! Do you know the name of the power bank? (Link moved) Thanks again!

So sad I missed out on the version with backpack straps. Bought a Bowen several years ago and was eying the new one, saw this video, but the new one doesn’t have backpack straps. The old one I have also doesn’t have backpack straps

The currently available Bowen bag doesn't seem to have the backpack straps...a huge disappointment. Those straps set it apart in a good way from the Bento.

Where did you buy the Cadas capsules?? I love them!!!❤️

I bought this bag from Amazon, and upon arrival I loved it! The brown is a beautiful color, a nuanced-heathery brown. But I had to return it; my 5.6" laptop was a hair too big for the laptop pouch. I could get the zipper over one corner, but not the other. If only the height was a quarter inch more...

This may be an older model. The bag in the Herschel website no longer has the backpack straps and the shoulder strap is thicker and padded on their website

How much did you purchase this bag for ?

I don’t understand why there isn’t a standard size bag for traveling. Seems like each airline has their own measurements. It’s frustrating.

The only thing I don’t like is that it has no feet, but it functions the same as the Nomad Lane bag.

It’s too bad it seems much smaller

Thank you for your review. It is always great to see the features of a bag for help in deciding if it is the bag for you. While I love the price point and that it is a clamshell open, to me it doesn’t have the accessibility features necessary for a personal item. Having to open the bag clamshell style in flight to access your laptop, an iPad or hoodie would be inconvenient to me and the person sitting next to me. I much prefer the ability to access those items via a top zipper like in the Bento bag. Still, I appreciate the review as I now know to keep looking.

One thing I'm finding is it's hard to fit my 15.6" laptop in this laptop compartment.

Looking at this and the bento in my search for a roomy personal item. I really like the roomy-ness of this one since it doesn't come with the pouch pockets. However the measurements of this bag are a few inches more than the bento's in every direction and it won't work as a personal item for all airlines.

I found it - I love it!! 5 overnight work trips in!! You saved me a bundle as I was looking at the Bento Bag which led me to this video. I went to Marshalls the same day and found the last one there. I may replace the strap with a more substantially padded one but no biggie! Thank you so much!

THAT IS A STEAL!!!! it is $150 on their website!!

Your US airlines seem better.. however from Uk so stringent. I certainly wouldnt risk the so called hacks. . Next time around will just have to lose most items and need to take tiny carry on but still laptop, a supply of inhalers and you know the British plugs which already weigh a lot! But ready to sacrifice as never going through my blue bag going missing 2 weeks which cost me and never got reimbursed for living expenses, plus then vanishing twice on intercity buses in Mexico and Turkey. I dont know how it happened 1st time ever. Have a tiny distinctive postcard decorated bag and that will be with me whatever. ILast time just had to buy winter things as snowed in Turkey and then had to leave it all behind... For first 60 years never had so many issues like that!!! 😂 Any suggestions re storage as in Uk ridiculous for a year for 2 bags even just not worth it

can you do this for witer??

thank u for this video, it was so helpful!!! (want to get the olive green one) hope u don't mind i make a suggestion: it would be nicer if your shot was a little wider, the bag takes up almost the entire frame. in some moments, parts of the bag and your hands go off camera. i'd suggest a medium shot for these type of videos (and some details shots as well). best wishes!

I gotta be honest... This bag becomes such a pain when it's fully packed! It's like trying to squeeze too many clothes into a small suitcase - it just doesn't fit comfortably. The discomfort can be a real challenge; it's like carrying a bag filled with uneven, lumpy rocks, and those shoulder straps feel like they're poking at you. Honestly, if you're considering a bag, the original Nomad Lane Bento Bag is still a more comfortable choice. 😅

I've looked everywhere for this exact same bag, even went to their site but they don't have this one that converts to a backpack, they have a very similar one without the hidden backpack straps and they cost way, way more

I have this exact bag, and i absolutely love it! I've been doing one bag only travel when this lovely bag❤

I just flew United Basic Economy with the Beis Mini Weekender & was totally fine… No issues at all!!!😊

Great video! I’ve been wanting the Nomad Lane bag, but couldn’t justify spending that much $ for it. This is a great alternative and I will be picking it up…thank you ❤

Thank you for a great demo! I was considering this and it really helped to see you give a tour of it. I just popped over and snagged one in another window. :)

What size is the insert for this tote? If I will get a red insert do you think red will bleed in the beige inside of this tote bag?

Nice video, please let he know of the type and size of the insert…ty

I have been looking at the Nomad Lane bag for awhile. This is so comparable, but the backpack straps are a real game changer for me. Im going to head over to Marshalls and get one this week!

Did your bag fit under your seat? or did you have to put it on the overhead bend?

Hello, referral discount coupon code does not work. Thank you!

Great video! Does the bag have a second zipper so you access the items without having open it clamshell style then open the packing cube? I hope I’m making sense!

Witch one colour you got?

Thank you for the video. I was looking for a bag like this! What Marshall’s did you buy that at?

The bag looks great. Suggestion for future stop saying um so much. Lol

The bag doesn't "look" good at the beginning of the video because it's way overstuffed. I travel a lot, often for 4-7 weeks, so I know luggage and backpacks well. There is no way that over-filled backpack would fit in the personal item sizers of most airlines. It looks to be at least 11 inches in depth. No airline allows that depth, even for a carryon, let alone a personal item. Of course, I could be wrong about the depth, but it looks huge. You also didn't measure the pack empty and full, something I always look for in reviews. Once you took some items out, the pack looked nice. I don't think you showed the back of the pack at all. I look for storable shoulder straps, a trolley belt or sleeve, and a sternum strap. I won't buy a pack without those features.

This looks like the weekender (bottom is not detachable), not the mini weekender (bottom is detachable)

I traveled a United flight with this bag in 2021 and had no issues.

Is the makeup brush case the full or travel size?
