HAVEN'T RATED
Streamlined and stylish, the Bellroy Slim Backpack celebrates functional simplicity and versatile aesthetics. Whether you're relaxing at your local cafe or heading into the office, this is a smart choice for minimalist carry setups. The bag is thoughtfully constructed with just two panels to improve durability and avoid side seams that could let moisture in during wet weather. Interior pockets help keep items tidy and accessible, including padded storage for a 15" laptop. And those quick-access items such as your phone and wallet can be kept at the ready in an exterior zipped pocket. Need to squeeze in a little extra? No problem. The main compartment's magnetic snap closure not only allows quick and easy access but is also adjustable to different heights to accommodate larger or smaller loads.
