Bellroy Tokyo Totepack (20L) Review

"Casual Playful Pro"

A great option for slimline casual-professional daily carry. Great materials. Solid organization. 20L.

More on the Bellroy Tokyo Totepack (20L)

What I like

  • Casual professional: looks right at work without being formal
  • Slimline tote and backpack in one
  • Burly woven fabric that's water and abrasion resistant, but drapes nicely and stands on its own
  • Leather accents, and I love the handles
  • Straps come off and stow into a padded back pocket for tote mode. That pocket doubles as a secret spot for a flat book or papers
  • Two quick access front pockets and solid organization inside, with a key clip

Watch for

  • Some of you will want longer straps
  • A little playful. More creative director than sales manager
  • Gets tight when packed out, and not fun to carry overstuffed
  • Both front pocket zippers open on the left
