So I've had my Cambiata (aubergine!) Since May and I've taken it to client sites and acros Europe. It's a great day bag and I love the side organization pockets and the water bottle pocket, which is sometimes also an umbrella pocket. Oh! And the exterior laptop slip fits my apple 16" (2021) perfectly.
It's roomy and I have really enjoyed carrying it so far, both in backpack mode and crossbody using an Absolute Strap. I often carry a heavy laptop, an ipad, hand tools, knitting, a camera, and other supplies in it, and while it does feel fully loaded the chest strap keeps things feeling well balanced.
If I could make one suggestion of a change to the design of the bag, it would be to flip the location of the flap zipper from the edge of the flap to the interior side, the way the aeronaut bag's zipper is constructed. I'm finding that when the bag flips open I have to hold the flap upright to get what I want out of it or else everything slides out (even with the little catch).
Somewhat less pressing but also worth mentioning is that the backpack straps could stand a small upgrade to be a little wider and more cushiony. I'm finding that when using the chest strap I really have to pay attention to the placement of all three straps or they start to dig in uncomfortably at my sides. Again, I tend to heavily load the bag in backpack mode when I'm running out for work, so it might also benefit from examining the weight distribution.
All in all a great bag that I enjoy and it…
