I felt spoiled for choice when I discovered Hovanahills and had to make a shortlist of my favourite items – eventually deciding on the premium 17″ laptop backpack in Khaki (although I’m already eyeing up my next purchase!)

The bag arrived exactly as pictured, but has quickly developed a more “worn-in” and weathered look, which is exactly what I wanted. The canvas and leather develop a natural patina and creases, which enhance the aesthetic. The interior and exterior pockets are convenient and well positioned. There is an internal drawstring to increase the security of the main compartment.

The customer service was exceptional. After purchasing the backpack, I emailed customer service to ensure it would be delivered before I had to leave on a trip. Ross at Hovanahills really went the extra mile to ensure I received the bag on time, keeping me in the loop via email and whatsapp.

I work internationally and travel frequently and will use this as my carry-on luggage/personal item. My one recommendation for a design improvement would be a concealed internal zipper for the front external pocket in addition to the two magnetic snap fasteners – as I feel that one pocket could be easy pickings for a pick-pocket.

The bag suits my travel demand and is classy

The bag is durable, stylish and has enough space. This one is for a life time 👌

This bag is strong, has multiple compartments and fits well with every day office life. Just a bit heavy.

great quality, makes a statement, spacious yet not bulky

The size of the bag is exactly what I needed. Find it easy to work with while shopping etc. Hoping the materiaal lasts well.

Excellent quality and perfect size for a school bag (high school). Additional pockets and laptop compartment inside. Buckles have press studs so easy to open and close. Sturdy and padded shoulder straps make for a comfortable fit.
