5.0 out of 5 starsArcher Brighton Laptop Bag Review
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2017
I purchased this bag a couple of weeks ago and I have wanted to a write a review only when I would honestly put the bag to good use. The time has come. I travel often, for work mainly and the below if my review of a recent work trip. NOTE: this bag can definitely work for personal travel too.
This laptop bag is everything that I am looking for in a personal item to go along with my roller carryon. I consider myself a great packer and I want my bags to be functional and versatile. I don't have time for bulkiness, slouchiness, flimsy fabrics and this Archer Brighton laptop bag is the complete opposite. I need my travel items to work for me and this product does just that.
In a recent work trip to NYC I took my AB bag and was impressed with the amount of space the bag has inside, its deep and wide, you wouldn't be able to tell from the outside but it has nine fully functioning pockets in various shapes and sizes. 11 total if you count the two pen sleeves. I was able to fit my laptop, a notebook, personal calendar, my Outlander book (1k+ pages and heavy), makeup bag, chargers, wifi hotspot, two cellphones, wallet, and lint roller. I am sure I am forgetting something but I had plenty of room left.
I was easily carrying over 8lbs of stuff on my shoulder but I felt the bag handles supported the weight and provided a strong grip and made the weight MUCH more manageable while journeying the long airport hallways.
The fabric feels strong and durable. I can tell it can withstand significant rain.
I purchased the navy and black but would love to see this bag in a chocolate brown or tan, hunter green or olive would be beautiful too.
Overall, I am very pleased with the item, I can imagine this bag being put through multiple travel trips and holding the test of time. At first it reminded me of the Longchamp but once I was able to experience the inside with its various organizational aids by way of pockets and partitions I can say its definitely more versatile for travel.
I will be using it for my trips moving forward and excited to how it goes!
