BACKSTAGE HANDHELD CARRY-ON CONVERTIBLE BACKPACK

I travel a lot for work and was nervous about the faux leather looking cheap, but the whip stitching and sharkmouth details make it look way more expensive than it is. The 21-inch width fits perfectly under the seat, and the leather handle is comfortable even when the bag's stuffed full.

The buckle closure feels solid and satisfying to snap shut, and the vertical sharkmouth embossing gives it a cool edge that stands out from my usual plain backpacks. I’ve been using it as a carry-on for two short trips now and the leather handle is comfortable to grip even when it’s stuffed full.

The faux leather has a nice, smooth texture that looks far more expensive than it is, and the dimensions are perfect for squeezing under the seat. I’ve used it on two short trips already, and the whip stitching along the edges really holds up well to being tossed around.
