Sac à dos Metro

I had the original Metro backpack in my cart for awhile but decided not to purchase it because of the unattractive clips on the bag when the kit was removed. I was quite happy when Monos listened to the suggestions of customers and redesigned the bag. The NEW design has a removable pouch with a flap and magnet that slides into the bag making it quite secure. I feel confident it will not fall off and the backpack looks attractive even when the pouch is removed. However, I would honestly purchase another backpack and duffel bag if they designed the metro kit / pouch with clips for optional crossbody option. I took a strap off another bag and made my own crossbody just to show what the possibilities could be. My goal is to buy the entire set for my travel bag collection if this becomes an option. It's a stunning bag. For reference, I am 5'3" (size M) and the backpack fits just right.

I hope this review will be considered by the design team.

I just got the off white vegan backpack. It's got great organization inside and looks to be very good quality - zippers and all materials. This is our second pack. I bought the nylon black and have used it and loved it. I am now passing it along to my husband and bought this one for myself. My only complaint it that the detachable case ought to come with a strap. It makes a perfect little purse. I have taken mine to a shoemaker to have eyelets added and found a purse strap in my cupboard from an old purse that will work. Monos should make this part of their standard offering. It's a premium price to pay for a backpack and this added feature would be a great addition and soften the impact of the spend by getting a second very functional item out of it.
