I am really excited to use this backpack for my carry on bag when travelling. I will also use it for work. I have the multitasker bag as well so will be switching between the 2. Cant wait to purchase more of your products. Love them all.
Bought myself this bag for work and absolutely love it. It's huge and can store so much. Of course I ordered this bag a few days before the huge sale and reached out to customer service who has yet to reply to me. It's a shame I have ordered many things from this company but sad that there customer service is lacking.
I LOVE this backpack! It has more compartments than I could ever use in a variety of styles and sizes. I chose this one over the other backpack because I didn’t want a sleeve for my laptop, but a separate compartment. I’m so glad I did! It’s functional, comfy and stylish. The only con for me is how to tighten the straps- there are holes similar to a belt and I can’t get it quite as tight as I’d like it to be.
I have several Poppy & Peonies bags and this one is my favourite yet. The configuration and separation of sections and pockets is so well designed. The laptop section is perfect and easily accommodates my MacBook Pro 16”. I purchased the matching tech and mini cosmetic cases. These are a must have in my opinion. Not that they are necessary, as there are plenty of pockets in the bag itself, but they just add nice quick grab organizers to the large main compartment. This back looks great, fits A LOT of items with room to spare, is easy to carry, but doesn’t look like a traditional canvas pack.
I absolutely love my Detour Backpack and use it daily to work! It carries a lot of things, and I’m especially impressed with the interior pockets, compartments and the structure of the bag. The bag's high carrying capacity is a major selling point, but it also highlights one critical area for improvement: the shoulder straps. Because the bag is big and holds so much, the relatively narrow straps (1.5 inches) feel uncomfortable under a heavy load. Widening the shoulder straps to at least 2 inches wide would make the bag much more comfortable for daily use. Thank you!
I’ve been using my detour bag for work to carry my tablet, lunch and purse items and I love it! It’s sooooo soft and the shoulder straps are very comfortable when walking to work lugging everything.
I’ve gotten many compliments over the look….especially the pink inside! Great job! 😁
Holds everything I need and more. Its stylish and will be great for travel, especially when im carrying three laptops!!
I really do love this backpack. It has lots of great apartments to store things within it. If you are someone who travels a lot for your job, this is great for you: it allows me to have my office on the go. It’s really well made. I do wish the backpack straps were a little thicker.
This has been my favourite purchase from Poppies and Peonies! It holds everything I need and more for a university student aspiring to be a teacher! I’m so happy with this purchase!
Le sac est grand. Y’a des pochettes en masse 💕
Absolutely love this backpack. The size, the comfort and the modern look! 5 stars
Packs Everything, with a bit of weight.
I bought this backpack for all the travel I was doing and I typically have to travel with two laptops and everything else. While traveling, this is great! I love the separate compartment for the laptops and it fit both of my laptops that I had to carry (one 13 inch the other 14 inch). It does fit under the seat on an airplane for the aisle and middle seat but it is a little tight under the window seat. I love the ease of it sliding onto my carry on which is super easy. Plus, honestly, it does get a bit heavy with filling it and moving around the airport so having it slide onto a carry on is convenient.
I currently carry this to work with me and have it filled with both laptops, a full size agenda, tech supplies, water bottle, etc. It has all the pockets to hold everything which is great. But same issue, it gets heavy with stuff in it and it's a bit heavy when empty. If the straps were a bit wider it may not feel as bad, but the narrowness of the straps makes this versatile backpack a little challenging. The black leather is professional enough for work settings, it is a bit bulky width-wise and I'm short (about 5'3") and I joke it's my "turtle-pack" because of the shape, but it gets the job done as a working mom to taking everything in one bag vs. multiple bags.
Much bigger than the commuter backpack. I like that it has a separate section for your laptop. I found the commuter backpack crammed everything in the same place. lots of storage. But the straps are a bit hard to adjust and I wish the main opening was a bit wider. Just received today so will have to see how long it will last later.
I absolutely love this backpack! It’s perfect for work and has plenty of room for my laptop, chargers, notebooks, and everything else I need, especially for a work trip. I love all of the different compartments because they make it easy to keep everything organized. It’s also comfortable to carry and looks really nice and professional. Definitely one of my favorite purchases for work!
Detour Backpack Black
Amazing Quality and very functional! I love the gact that is a Canadian product!
Daughter wanted a bag like moms work bag but a backpack and this is PERFECT!
I love the backpack overall, but I’m not a fan of the adjustment for the back straps. I prefer mine near the start, and now I have lots of extra straps just hanging there. I wish there was a way to hold them back.
Spacious bag! Bought this for my daughters junior year in highschool and she loves it
I wanted a hands free way to carry my heavy load into school. This was a perfect pick for a 4th grade teacher!
I am using this backpack daily for work and it does it all! It easily holds all personal items, my lunch, a change of shoes, and my 17in laptop with space for a water bottle and other items. I have also used it as a carry on and it easily fit under the seat in front of me. It is soft and durable and now I want it in other colours! Highly recommended.
It’s an absolutely beautiful leather backpack. Love all the compartments it has. I will definitely be buying other items from this company.
This backpack has it all!! Lots of room and very functional!!
I use mine primarily for work and I love it. It fits everything including my lunch and while it can get heavy, it's structured so well that once it's on both shoulders, it's easy to carry, and I feel so fashionable wearing it.
I love this bag! I travel on a ferry to Vancouver Island almost every weekend during summer months with this back pack. Enough space to pack a few clothes, toiletries, iPad. book and a water bottle! No need to bring a purse with this back pack. Makes my weekend travels easy with the one bag.
I was looking for a travel bag that wasn’t a tote. I needed one with lots of storage and more importantly one that would fit my large screen laptop. The Detour checked all the boxes!
Looks sleek,roomy enough, will be a work backpack so hoping the quality of your bags shines through.
Love it and I love all the products from Poppies and Peonies.
