Sherpani Tempest Backpack, Copper

Very happy with this buy!This convertible bag is pretty enough for a dressed up look, but it's very sturdily made and roomy enough for a 14" laptop and any other additional items for your daily commute. The transition from tote to backpack is instantaneous, and I find the straps are comfy enough. They are quite stiff though and not adjustable in length, but they can be restrapped or even replaced of needed.The bag has 3 easily accessible external pockets, and it has a full zipper closure on the top - all your items are secure. I do wish there were bigger/more external pockets, like on the Sherpani Camden bags, but this is the trade-off for a more upscale look. The fabric is also stiff, but that helps keep the bag shape, and I hope it'll last through a lot of wear and tear.If you're looking for a well-made, stylish, city-friendly convertible and you don't mind the relative trade off in comfort (compared to sportier bags like Sherpani Camden or Timbuk2 Forge), this is a great choice.

I absolutely LOVE this bag. I originally bought it as more of a travel bag that would fit my laptop in its sleeve and other small carry on items such as my Kindle, makeup bag, etc. I wasn't looking for a bag that was strictly a tote as I prefer to have either an over the shoulder or backpack style bag for when I travel. And this fits both! It easily converts from backpack to tote and back again. The exterior front zipper are perfectly placed for easy accessibility and the side zipper fits a small Swell bottle perfectly. I love this bag so much that although originally intended just for travel, it is now my go-to bag/purse for the office and weekends. The burnt orange color is perfect, craftsmanship is great. It was a splurge but I LOVE IT and use it everyday!

Size and craftmanship are great and the orange color is just beautiful, to be honest, the straps are not really comfortable for wearing as a backpack, one of the primary ways this bag is intended to be worn.Redesign those strapsfor comfort and this will be a great bag.

Love Sherpani and this bag—classy, stylish, functional. The only drawback—opening not as big as dimensions listed on website (1” narrower). Will be returning for the Camden.

This bag is perfect!! I love how easily it converts from a shoulder bag to a backpack bag without having to move around straps. I get so many compliments on the purse and couldn't be more happy with my purchase. Awesome quality and I will definitely be purchasing more from this company in the future!
