2nd Black Ember better than the first
"My second Black ember have a v1 Citadel from 8 or so years ago and needed a new bag. so far so great"
Amazing quality
"I was looking for the backpack that best suited me and I finally have it, it's worth every penny, you can feel the quality in every detail"
Amazing versatile backpack
"Love the bag. It truly looks rugged, yet elegant. The back straps are super sturdy and comfortable. The bag is big enough to fit clothes for 2-3 days, plus work gear, but not too big, so it doesn't feel bulky. The materials seem to be of very high quality. I spent hours and hours looking for a versatile backpack that could be use for everyday life, and for work, and a combination of both, and this is the only one that ticks all boxes. Really is exceeding my expectations."
Very good and versatile.
"Brilliant piece of kit. Best bag I've owned. It ticks all the right boxes and it's been everywhere. Once again thank you. Keep up the good work."
This is what I have bee looking for over 30 years.
"Perfect fit for all my requirements."
Perfect Everyday and Travel backpack, Worth the Investment – My New Go‑To Bag
"I have been using this backpack daily for work and short trips, and it has exceeded my expectations. The build quality feels premium, the laptop compartment is well padded, and the expansion makes it easy to pack clothes for a weekend. The straps are comfortable even when the bag is full. Highly recommended for anyone who wants one bag for office and travel."
Best travel bag!!
"This is one of the best and well made travel bag i have owned. 100% recommend!!"
Sería buena idea que el
"Sería buena idea que el asa lateral pudiera desmontarse para el uso como mochila. Demasiado espacio reservado para ordenadores."
LOVE IT!
"I needed a backpack that could be versatile as a backpack that can also convert to a hand carry case. Majority of the time i wear it as a backpack. Love it so far! The only thing i wish was that the front zipper compartment had more secure inside pockets for the little things. . . ie. earbuds, keys, etc so it would not be all over the place when worn as a backpack. Other than that, love the fabric, secure zippers and overall quality."
