Customer Reviews Radley London Spring Park - Medium Domed Backpack

I compared 4 work-appropriate backpacks. I’m looking for a backpack that is comfortable to wear, has a slim profile, and can hold a MacBook Air 13”. Pros and cons for each, of course. I decided to keep the KNOMO London. Radley London Spring Park - Medium Domed Backpack : Smallest of the 4. Overall, it has a horizontal shape which seemed super cute. Had a bit of a French school kid book bag vibe. But it was a little too small for the laptop. (My laptop just fit in but there was no laptop sleeve so it would be hard to slip the computer back in with other items rolling around.) Hedgren Paragon Medium Backpack: This is the only one available in a color that isn’t black. I thought the dark gray was handsome. The overall size was good. But the padding on the straps was very thin. (Half the amount of padding on the Hedgren Ruby or KNOMO London models.) Once I loaded in my laptop in, the straps cut into my shoulders. Wouldn’t be comfortable without a coat. Has a hidden side pocket on each side that you can unsnap and open up where you could put a small water bottle or umbrella. Finally, the main compartment only has one zipper toggle so you’d always have to pull the zipper completely across to load/unload. I’d like to have two toggles so you can zip down from the center, out to the sides. Hedgren Ruby RFID Backpack 15”: This one would be best for someone who travels on planes. (Remember those?) It has a sleeve on the back where you would slip it over the telescoping handle of your wheelie bag. It has the sturdiest handles on the top (so you can grab it) and little metal feet on the bottom. There’s a snap that keeps the two handles together. This was a “con.” I couldn’t see having to snap/unsnap the handles every time I opened the bag and I wouldn’t want them flopping on my neck when the bag in use as a backpack. This one was the widest at the bottom (where it would stand away from your lower back.) Nice padding on the straps. Has two side sleeves where you could put a small water bottle or umbrella. KNOMO London Mayfair Beauchamp Backpack: The winner! The straps are nicely padded. And they have a curved shape so they are comfortable around your shoulders, heading toward your armpits. They do have extra strap hanging down that I might have to dress. There is a small handle to grab at the top but it doesn’t interfere with the zipper. Zipper has two toggles so you can open down from the middle. Does not have any side pockets for a water bottle but that just looks more professional to me (less like I’m going camping.) And the bright red interior is adorable.

Great convertible backpack purse. Holds a lot but doesn't look overly bulky. Very lightweight. Light colored interior makes it easy to find items. Highly recommended.
