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!
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
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!
Hi, overall this was a thorough review. I just found you. I hope you can do these with you included as it's hard to relate to a set of arms and it is important to be able to see into the item you are reviewing. Subscribed!
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 ❤
Love COPYMAXY , will be taking it to go to work. I love all the ability to organize everything w pockets some w zippers. My first bag had the liner rip. They replaced it faster than I could ship return. 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. :)
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
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.
I think you misunderstood. There’s absolutely no reason why you couldn’t unzip the bag partially (rather than fully opening it clamshell style) to get to the large electronic pockets found on the inside. Like the Bento bag when it is standing up, you open both zippers from the “top” to gain access to your laptop or iPad. Again, unzip it partially; not the full length of the clamshell. Go to the 3:03 mark of the video. All the best!
@@KevinReed-b6n Unfortunately, my electronics are not the only things I need easy access to. I also like to be able to grab my hoodie, my snacks, my water bottle and tech pouch. Still a great bag, just not for me.
That makes total sense. Hope you find a bag that suits your needs! Are you looking for one that holds your other clothes as well, or mostly just for your in-flight needs? Let me know if I can help!
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.
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!
Great question - no, it doesn't have the same top pocket access like the Bento Bag does. It does have that separate zipper at the front for smaller items, but no alternative access to the main portion of the bag.
@@Lisa-Leah It depends: if you’re wanting to reach in & grab your laptop or maybe a tablet, then yes you can. Just stand it up and open both zippers enough to get your hand in and to get the electronics out. If you’re wanting to get clothes out, you can do that… but you’ll have to leave the inside sides unzipped to get in & out of those sections.
Hi. Love the review- love the backpack straps. cannot find this bag on amzon or herschel supply. any suggestions? perhaps out of production? they have a bowen, but no striped interior lining, no pockets on interior as your video, no backpack straps, etc. so disappointed.
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.
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
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.
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.
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. 😅
this bag is bigger than the bento bag and might not fit under the seat in many airplanes if packed out and might not qualify for a personal item while the bento bag can.
I know people personally who have so much genuine luxury brands yet they live in their mama house. I own my own home, drive a lexus and i do buy real mid luxury bags but anything over $1000 im getting a H Q D U P S replica and keeping money in my pocket.
I use this backpack every day at work and in life. It's comfortable enough to use as an everyday "purse" and has enough room to hold everything I need for work at the same time! *rrcopys* Their bags I believe will not let you down!
I stick with my Prada nylon fanny pack, or I prefer an older fanny pack. But you were the first person who made me really love this awesome travel bag. It fits inside like a small bag LYXBAG
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!
I hope you like it! Thanks for watching!
They are $150 online so I think she was lucky to find this unicorn!
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
I think you may be right. Hoping for a re-release. Thanks for watching!

I gotta go to Marshals.
Did you ever replace the strap? Or, could you maybe buy a shoulder pad and add that to the existing strap!
I'm so glad to hear you found it and love it! Thank you for letting me know and thanks for watching!

HEY HIDUPZ!! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day
I carry the HIDUPZ. It is the best bag/handbag condup I have ever carried. Lots of room and well made. I have used it for years. No regrets!
Love COPYMAXY , will be taking it to go to work. I love all the ability to organize everything w pockets some w zippers. My first bag had the liner rip. They replaced it faster than I could ship return. Thank you!
HEY kislux !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day
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. :)

I think it may have been discontinued, which is why it was at Marshalls. I'm hoping they re-release it - I really enjoy it. Thanks for watching!
This hidupz tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big.
I love you so much! I recently just found your kislux and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life

The *rrcopys* wallet looks fancier than advertised, which is why it gets 5 stars. I really like the color and the way it's made.

Did your bag fit under your seat? or did you have to put it on the overhead bend?
It fit under the seat with no issues. Thanks for watching!

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.
Great observation. It's definitely a good idea to check your airline's personal item allowance - they all seem to vary so much. Thanks for watching!
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 backpack version is so convenient. Hopefully they re-release it. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the video. I was looking for a bag like this! What Marshall’s did you buy that at?
You are welcome! I bought this at a Marshall's in Florida - it was one that was attached to a Homegoods. Thanks for watching!
My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

On 3/19/24, CRAZY sale on the v4 Bento Bag (Black/Bronze) on the direct Nomad Lane site.
Hi Francine, nice to see you again! I'd love to review the Nomad Lane Bento Bag if I can get my hands on one.
this bag is bigger than the bento bag and might not fit under the seat in many airplanes if packed out and might not qualify for a personal item while the bento bag can.
The only thing I don’t like is that it has no feet, but it functions the same as the Nomad Lane bag.
Feet would be a great addition. Thanks for watching!
THAT IS A STEAL!!!! it is $150 on their website!!
It really was! Thanks for watching!
kislux I love you so much and watching your videos makes my day brighter
I was aold on this until i saw no backpack straps. Nice job on this though!
I know people personally who have so much genuine luxury brands yet they live in their mama house. I own my own home, drive a lexus and i do buy real mid luxury bags but anything over $1000 im getting a
H Q D U P S replica and keeping money in my pocket.

I like the bag, a lot, but maybe because you put this video about it up, it is now $150.00. Not the $24.99 you bought yours for...Lol
I stick with my Prada nylon fanny pack, or I prefer an older fanny pack. But you were the first person who made me really love this awesome travel bag. It fits inside like a small bag LYXBAG
It’s too bad it seems much smaller
Smaller than what?
The bag looks great. Suggestion for future stop saying um so much. Lol
I will definitely work on it! Thanks for watching!
When people are saying H Q D U P E’s bag is a better option,I very much agree!
