Bia Backpack - Black

It’s been a few months and so far, this bag has been great! My 16 inch laptop doesn’t fit in the laptop compartment but does fit in the main compartment. I put my tablet in the laptop compartment instead :) The straps are padded really nicely, which is a huge plus because I have some heavy stuff to carry. I’m an animation student, so I have a ton of materials that I have to bring to class with me & this backpack easily fits everything I need! Over all it’s exceeded my expectations and I’m super happy with it!

This is a great and stylish work bag. I don't really use the yoga straps at all, since I'm not carrying my yoga mat into work. But I do like the shoe compartment, which makes it easier to switch to my work shoes. I only wish the side pockets are a little bigger; it's a little difficult to fit my phone into the pockets easily, probably because I have a chunky phone case and Pop Socket on my phone case.

When I first got this bag, I was a little underwhelmed. I bought it on sale for 100 dollars and thought it wasn't even worth that. But as I started to use it, I grew to like it more. I use it as a work bag (I work at a hospital). I love that I can easily wipe down the inside, and that I have a separate compartment for dirty shoes/ scrubs. I also can't turn down a bag that has water bottle holders! The pockets/key holder/ zippers and design was all well thought out and it easily fits my meals, planner, and gear for work. Plus the compliments I get on it is nice too ☺️ I think I've been converted from a purse/tote person to a backpack person. Definitely recommend for healthcare workers looking for a new work bag!!

I've had this Bia backpack for awhile now. I've used it almost everyday for work, and even used it to a music festival to carry water and essentials. I've noticed some pros and cons. Pros: Aesthetic. Got it in black. I love the flower interior, the many pockets is the BEST. Also love the little ribbon on it, I've gotten compliments from coworkers multiple times. Cons: Functionality? I also own a backpack from a company that specialize in bags that cost the SAME PRICE. Not as cute, but there are some things that I can't help but compare and wish this bag had to be worth the price. 1st is the backpack straps. Although made of soft material, the straps are skinny, flimsy and don't have support. I understand the aesthetic for skinnier straps (i feel like I remember this being a point in a video or short when this bag 1st came out), but I discovered there was a reason good backpacks have wider straps. It was annoying to put it on if you're on-the-go and I could immediately tell the difference in comfort and support when i had to use my other backpack one day. Another con was the zipper. I put my 64oz popflex bottle in here and other heavier things sometimes. The bag had no problem holding it, but if i had the zippers at the top center, or around the top of the bag, the zipper would open. Multiple times I've had someone tell me it was open. Kinda embarrassing cause what am i, 5 years old? It even opened when i went to a music festival after jumping and dancing listening to Zedd. Luckily, a kind festival-goer behind me let me know it was open. Idk if it's because the area around the zipper doesn't have shape or structure and the material of the bag is soft that this happens. Overall, i do like this bag, but it seems only good if used casually, and not moving a lot while wearing it or carrying heavy things. Tbh it's an inconvenience to keep remembering to move my zippers to one side to keep my bag from opening and after using my other bag with supportive straps, I'm reluctant to use this bag sometimes. I'm hoping popflex takes these into account if they design another bag or revamp this one. Sadly i don't think i'll be buying another bag from popflex, and will prob stick to activewear.

This bag matches my larger bag in the same color of bora blue and I would travel for work and use it constantly. I’ve since bought the Cora bag for work but I’ll use this bag for trips.

So cute! And SO MANY POCKETS!!1
