Customer Reviews Haiku To Go Convertible

Got this bag to go to Europe in the early summer, wanted to be able to hold a water bottle, light wrap, umbrella, camera, charger, phone, a snack as well as regular purse needs. The pockets are nice, but the bag didn't hold nearly as much as I thought it would and I thought it was rather heavy empty. The convertible straps were not that much help, because when you shift it to a back pack, things tended to fall out of the open pockets.

I've been using this bag for about two weeks now and I love it more now than when I got it. The storage/pockets seem to work out perfectly for me. Ample space for a phone, girly things, pens, and then a big pocket in the middle for all the other junk we lug around. I bought this for two reasons: 1) it's lightweight (and it is!) and 2) it goes from crossover to backpack-style easily (and it does).

Have been on an eternal search for the perfect bag to carry my essential, Kindle and perhaps a small knitting project. Also a requirement was to carry a water bottle. Have only had for a week but this is definitely looking like the one. Like that it is made from recycled plastic. Also like that it can be used as a back pack of sorts. Must confess have not tried this yet. So far very happy with the bag.

This is a great bag. Styling and fabric are beautiful. It is a little smaller than I anticipated, and my S'well bottle doesn't fit in the outside pocket like I hoped, but generally it is good. My only complaint is that when wearing it as a backpack, the strap slides quickly through the grommet when you take it off so you have to fiddle with the straps quite a bit. But still love it!

Loving my new bag. Its attractive, functional, and eco-friendly. Lots of pockets make it easy to put items I need to be able to grab quickly or often (sunglasses, cell phone) in outside pockets and interior pockets keep things organized. The interior is big enough I can throw a no-leak water bottle in my bag, but the bag itself doesn't feel over-sized. Love it!!

I purchased this bag for a planned 2 week trip to Europe. It was perfect for my needs! Plenty of pickets for all the essentials. The water bottle pockets also will accommodate a travel sized umbrella, which came in handy one day. I took full advantage of the convertible feature and changed to the backpack when the bag was a little heavy or I just wanted it out of the way. I carried it everywhere and it still looks great. I even got a compliment on it from another traveler who commented that, not only did it look practical and just the right size, but it had the "cute factor," too. She was right. I purchased the mushroom color which was the perfect neutral and never showed any dirt.

I love this purse! Many pockets to keep organized, durable and outdoorsy. Perfect!

Great bag for travel. Has sufficient space for regular items, and, most importantly, a place for water bottles!

I love the concept of this bag. It was very spacious and the convertible feature was amazing. I am a very large girl, so finding a crossbody strap to fit properly is difficult, but this one did the job! The strap was also long enough to be comfortable in the backpack style, as well. My only gripe - and it was enough to return the bag - is that the opening of the bag is small compared to the overall width of the interior, which was really disappointing. I love the fabric and interior organization of the bag.

Super cute bag, and I was thrilled to see an Emily Dickinson quote stitched under the flap! Not big enough for my sketch book (I think it's 10" x 12" maybe?) but it is big enough that I can carry the sketch book without zipping the main pouch closed. Used to love Mosey bags before they went out of business, so this is a great alternative. Just wish they had one slightly larger!

Love this bag/backpack! I specifically bought it when I was on crutches, so I could carry stuff. I have received numerous compliments. It's well made, cute, and durable. My only "complaint" is that it's a bit too small for my laptop (but perfect for an iPad mini, just FYI).

I ordered to green bag and the color just wasn't appealing. However, I do like the Haiku bags

Lovely bag, some nice updates from the version I carried previously. We will see if the outer fabric is as hard-wearing on this one as the faux-leather outer shell on the previous version I had. I did prefer the broader strap on the previous one, and the adjuster buckle on this bag's strap hits my shoulder a bit uncomfortably when adjusted for cross-body carry. However, the ability to convert to a backpack carry is most welcome, as are the zippered pocket in the outer flap and the key clip in the inner pocket. Very pleased that Haiku still makes this smallish messenger bag style with the outer pockets for water bottles / umbrellas, which are great when traveling or wrangling small children.

Oh my gosh I love this bag! I am an on location portrait photographer and work with small children, walk on beaches, and was looking for a bag that could provide just the right amount of space and pockets to help me along my workflow. It provides pockets for toys for the little ones, two pockets for water bottles, a pocket for my personal belongings, and ample room inside for more goodies as needed to keep the little ones entertained. Seems it will hold up well and is nicely made.

This bag is the best. Perfect number of pockets, plenty of space. I? can carry everything I? need and I? still have space for any extras I? may collect throughout the day. Absolutely perfect.

Love this bag! So cute and great pockets!

I was looking for a bag that would convert to a backpack. This is it! Not too big, but still plenty of space. I enjoy the side pockets for water bottles when I have this bag in backpack form, but as a purse they stand out a bit far for me. Still love it! Need to test it out on a small hiking trip still.

Love this bag! Room for everything I need in the day and then some. Lots of well-placed pockets in different sizes. Transitions well from work to weekend. Fabric is durable and stain-resistant.

Very pleased with this bag. Meets my needs perfectly, including a couple of options for my new larger 'smart' phone. Love that it's roomy without being bulky. Also, I'm tall so especially appreciate the generous strap length which easily adjusts in both configurations (cross-body & backpack) for a truly comfortable fit.

Love this bag with all it's pockets, ones that will actually hold H2O bottles! And it's pretty cute too! My only complaint is the flimsy strap - I may end up purchasing a different strap elsewhere since this bag can/will hold a bit more weight than this strap can handle.

The bag is beautifully made and I loved the stitching. I didn't like how the water bottle holder was on the side and not covered by a flap. It also somehow seemed like a diaper bag with all the pockets. I decided to send it back
