Customer Reviews Rebecca Minkoff Julian Backpack

Loved this backpack.

LOVE this backpack. The inside is dark in color which is different from the video. Don’t love that but overall I enjoy it

I purchased this in Acorn and have the smaller backpack in Black. This is s soft and luxurious backpack with great style. I use it as my purse and get lots of compliments! Did I mention the leather is soft as butter?? I only wish it came in more colors.

I have been eyeing this backpack for at least a year and finally decided to go for it! I haven't been carrying it that long and I would say the only thing I wish is that the back pocket would have been a little deeper. It is nice to put my keys in so I can find them easier but doesn't fit my iPhone 6 Plus very well. I can get it in there but I have to maneuver it around to get it to zip. Other than that, it is very comfortable to wear and super stylish! I highly recommend it!

Love this style! This purse was by far my best purchase this year! I got this in putty and thought it was the perfect color for summer! The color and the style go with everything! I would easily consider getting this purse in multiple colors - it's so versatile! I typically prefer a tote (easier with travel and child), so am adjusting to a less organized, less accessible interior but find the outside pockets to be helpful with the adjustment. Either way, wouldn't trade it for anything!

I have been looking for a backpack to replace the L.A.M.B. one that I have been carrying for the past five years. This bag is not only comfortable to carry on your back, your shoulder, or your arm, but it is stylish. Rebecca Minkoff designed this one to stand out above the rest with its' shape, hardware, and the not too much, just enough fringe. There are four compartments for storage plus a clip to allow for variations. I'm very satisfied with my RM backpack----especially the cobalt color.

The backpack was really nice, but the main zipper opening is pretty restrictive, I think I would scratch my hand every time I reach in.

Beautiful bag. A bit more pebbled than I’d like but style makes up for it.

I was so excited when I rec'd the Julian in Acorn color but it turned into disappointment because the leather was not what I had expected. I certainly loved the color but I thought the bag was going to be more textured pebbling like the Black 4 Julian. Needless to say I am returning the acorn color and ordered the black 4. I love the Julian style. I just feel the textured leather adds to the style and the acorn color is not have this.

great bag, the only issue is that the lining unfortunately is black, not white and black as shown in the video, which makes the inside a dark cave. not worth returning it over, but almost wish i hasn’t known the white was even an option

I love a big leather tote but years of carrying heavy bags on my shoulders has caused neck and shoulder pain. A backpack was the remedy for that. I looked at so many but they were shaped like school bags or were stylish but outside of my budget. I finally ran across this bag and I liked the size and unique look. I bought the putty color which goes with almost everything. The leather is soft and the zippers work fine. In the main compartment, I carry a large wallet, a makeup bag, small brush, altoids, and a bottle of water. If needed, I can fit my 8inch tablet with no problem. In the side pockets I have tissues, wet wipes, keys and earbuds. I keep my phone in the back pocket. With all this the straps are comfortable and don't dig in to my shoulders. I like it so much I am saving up to buy the Almond color.It takes some getting used to having a backpack. I can't just reach in and get something but I like being pain free and hands free.My only complaint is the black inside liner. For the price I expect a something less generic and lighter colored which makes it easier to see the contents of the bag.

Stylish, but very heavy even when empty. I had to return it.

I really wanted to love my Rebecca Minkoff backpack, but was a little disappointed in the quality of the leather - it was a little heavier than I expected. The style is a little awkward. You have to unhook the hardware to really get into the bag, and when it's attached, the zippered opening is hard to get into. The side pockets are curved so you have to be careful that nothing falls out when you open them, and the back pocket zipper is very short so you really can't reach into it unless whatever you put in there is at the very top. The shiny brass hardware sort of cheapens it and looking at the other options, I would have chosen the black hardware maybe. The style and accessibility is the big reason why I am sending it back.

I love the style of the bag. I don’t think the leather is nearly as soft as my other Rebecca Minkoff bags. I think the only one that has this not as soft textured leather is the large size in black. I’ve done a lot of research and believe all the other colors and sizes should have softer leather. Not satisfied with the leather but love the bag.

Darling small bag, although I could s-q-u-e-e-z-e in more than I'd initially thought. That being said, it's still a small backpack, and too small *for my needs*. I purchased the Black 4 (with the shiny brass zippers / pulls -- love the weight and how they look), but the interior is solid black, and believe it or not the large zipper access to that main compartment is not all that large (it only provides a small opening), so not being able to open it up wide and then having it all black in there (wish it'd been the white with black print as show in the video) meant the chances of finding exactly for what you were looking were not good. Additionally, on the pretty bag I was sent the shiny clasp had a rough mechanism, meaning it didn't work very well -- took more effort than it should. Now, I only wanted this as a travel backpack. If I traveled solo or with a partner who was in charge of all their things then this bag would probably have been fine -- still snug, but fine. However, I also have two children, and with it stuffed to the gills with my goodies there was no way I could also handle anything for them. What I got in there: a tablet (without a protective case), a (reading) Kindle, my large billfold, a 5" x 7" x 2" cosmetic case, sunglasses in a soft bag (not a hard case), a tall Camelbak, an iPod Touch, and then odds-and-ends (like gum, pens, small Purell). This stuff was literally stuffed in there, but that's a good amount, right? Of course, if I wanted anything it'd all have to come out to get to it, but still. Lovely backpack for someone with different, smaller needs and expectations.
