Just received my new burgundy small backpack and it’s every bit as good as the last one. Strong, reliable, pretty available colours, perfect size with exactly the right amount of zipped pockets. Be in touch again in another 10 years! 🤣

Fits a 17 inch laptop perfectly and both laptop and books are well protected from rainy weather due to the zipper and overhanging flap. Coincidentally, my 500 ml water bottle neatly fits upright in the front compartment making for efficient space packing. If your commute involves a bike at some point it can be a bit of a chore to adjust the strap every time to carry it on your back. Overall great bag and very happy with it. If ordering from the EU, keep in mind the import duties can be expensive (€40 in my case), but for me still worth it regarding the lack of feasible alternatives on the continent.

This is a very well made bag with lots of room and pockets

Spacious, comfy, sturdy.

I bought my small rucksack as a replacement for a handbag - leaving me hands free, about 10 years ago and it has been amazing. Tough, durable, pretty turquoise colour and so useful. Looking for another now as the main zip is starting to split occasionally.

Fantastic! Everything I wanted (although adding a key clip would top it off completely). Much admired.

Very pleased to receive the bag very quickly - now can't wait to use it on holiday soon

This one fills my needs perfect. Quiet narrow so I don't bump in to people on the bus or in the subway. Plenty of storage though, two large zippered compartments on the front are great, perfect for your book, ereader, tablet, headphones, bike lights, keys etc. Really nice material and the best part, you don't look like a mountaineer.

Replaced my classic body bag after more than 10 years and I’m pleased to find the new bag is of just the same quality. Slightly larger than my previous bag and delivered on time and as described. Thank you!

I’d ordered a bag for my husband as a gift but the size wasn’t quite right so I returned it and ordered a different one with no hassle at all. The bag is really well made and has transformed our travels - he no longer pesters me for his phone, glasses or passport!

A well made canvas bag. Very pleased with the bag.

I brought this for my son’s birthday
He was delighted with it
Very nice smart backpack for work

I purchased this for myself after having a lackluster-to-miserable experience with a similar bag from another brand. The Troop London Classic Canvas Across Body Bag (I purchased the blue one) is perfect for my needs. I love the color. But what sets this bag apart from others is the quality of materials: the strong canvas and the brass-plated and leather details/trim. Here in Missoula, Montana (US), I'm getting many compliments on the bag. But what really counts is the bag's superb quality. It is worth every penny I paid for it; the timely (and free) shipping was a plus. This was my first Troop purchase; I expect to make other purchases in the future.

Excellent quality! I love it!

I initially came across this brand in a small shop in Lynton, immediately caught my eye….Style, material, craftsmanship and functionality.
So much choice of design and colour, I eventually made my purchase direct with Troop London online.
My bag is fantastic! Great size to hold my everyday essentials e.g. purse, diary, glasses, phone, keys etc but doesn’t look or feel cumbersome.
Received lots of compliments.
Great value for the price and I will definitely be making more purchases and recommending.
