Great for traveling internationally, conferences & everyday work + 5 month update
I picked this up for an under-seat bag on an international trip. It turned out to be a great buy for not only that trip, but everyday commuting to work. I love the zipper design, being able to open it in either direction works really well and the zipper is always smooth. The two compartments are just right for what each provides. I can fit a 16" MacBook Pro (newer M1 model) just fine in the laptop spot, with room to spare, but not too much. I'd say carrying both a laptop and an iPad pro felt too heavy though in terms of comfort, with even just a 14" MacBook Pro + a 13" iPad Pro. The padding is pretty good for how slim the strap is, but it bothered me to carry too much through the airport and I'll choose one of the two devices on future trips. I felt like the strap would fall off one shoulder a little easily but I got used to either wearing it across my body (opposite shoulder) or using my arm to steady it. The handles are just right for picking it up and even carrying it without a laptop inside. I like the inner pocket with a zipper in the main compartment, it was good for stashing my passport or sunglasses. I sometimes wished there was a similar, stealth pocket like that accessible from the exterior. The fabric feels really nice to the touch, looks great, and didn't take any damage with casual use during my travels. I think even with some dirt and damage it will age well and I'm not too worried about keeping it pristine. Choosing this bag was really difficult but it turned out to be a great decision. It's my first Bellroy bag and I'll be looking at their backpacks in the future. UPDATE @ 5 months: I still love it. I use it two days/week when going to the office and I don't feel like it's falling off the shoulder anymore. I'm not sure if I got used to it or if the strap has better grip after some use. Zippers are solid and I continue to appreciate this little bag. I can also clip my work badge to a similar latch on the strap connected to the bag, so I never forget my badge anymore.

Clean, minimal work bag with just the right amount of space
I’ve been using this bag for about a month and it’s been exactly what I was looking for. I use a 13-inch laptop, but there’s definitely enough room for a larger one without it feeling cramped. My typical carry is a laptop, charger, legal pad, and sunglasses, and everything fits comfortably without the bag feeling bulky. I like that it keeps a slim profile even when it’s packed. Nothing feels overstuffed or awkward. The design is one of the biggest highlights. The black looks really clean and professional, and it works just as well in a casual setting. It doesn’t have that overly “techy” look that some work bags have. It’s also comfortable to carry, and the materials feel solid without being stiff. The internal organization is simple but effective, enough to keep things in place without overcomplicating it. Pros: * Clean, minimal design (especially in black) * Fits daily essentials without bulk * Comfortable to carry * Good balance of structure and flexibility Cons: * Might feel limited if you carry a lot of extra gear * Organization is simple (not for people who want tons of compartments) Bottom line: If you want a sleek, everyday work bag that covers the essentials and looks great doing it, this is a solid choice. It’s perfect for a light-to-moderate daily carry.

The best computer brief case out there (at least for me).
First, in the spirit of full disclosure, I am a Bellroy fan boy. I really like their designs and have yet to purchase a product I didn’t like. With that disclaimer, the Via work bag is, for me, the perfect briefcase/computer case. It replaced a similar Tomtoc bag that was just a bit too small for my needs. The main section of the Bellroy is exactly has exactly the right storage capacity for my iPad Pro (in a case), my Bellroy tech kit, a couple of A5 notebooks, and my water bottle. The front pocket perfectly hold my pens and my Bellroy notebook cover (as I said, I really like their products). The rip stop fabric is light and durable, and the treated YKK zippers are completely waterproof. I have been using it for work for the past few weeks, and could not be happier. It was well worth the money and yet another reason why I support Bellroy.
