I love my bag, I get nice compliments. I use it for work only. Just gotta get me a nice glass bottle for my water, to put it on one of its side pockets.
I bought the City Backpack for my husband as a work and commute bag last month. The backpack is beautifully designed and crafted. I would recommend this product and brand.
The leather on this backpack is beautiful and great quality. It fits everything you need for work. It was the only leather backpack I found that had a usable, well sized water bottle pocket on the outside. The one thing I wish it had is a pen holder section.
Best backpack I’ve ever had. Exclusive and great quality. However I don’t like ups who delivered the parcel
Day 1 wearing the bag to work. Amazing experience this far.
A wonderful bag that fits all my things, 13” laptop and 32oz water bottle included.
love the backpack I ordered! 😍😍High quality! highly recommend!
So far, I really love the backpack. It is sturdy, classic, and high quality. The backpack arrived to my front door in 7 days after purchase. Super fast! I am very pleased with the bag and am planning to order again.
The city backpack is just beautiful. Perfectly made and great quality. I can’t wait to use it. This is now my 4th order with Mahi and in total I have 7 bags from them. I’m a very happy customer. The price/quality is excellent and their customer service is fantastic. Any problems are dealt with very fast and Mahi takes care of its customers. Something most big brands could learn from. Do not hesitate. I’ll be back again soon, thank you Mahi!
I got my backpack a few weeks ago and have been using it to go between working from home and going into the office. The backpack fits my 15" laptop, apple magic keyboard with numeric keypad, other accessories as well as a jacket and some extra stuff in the inside pockets. The side pockets fit a decent size reusable water bottle and an umbrella. The laptop pocket inside fits my 15" laptop with a protective cover on it. The strap for that pocket does not latch with that large of a laptop though, but it stays secure in the pocket that it isn't an issue for me. It should latch with a smaller 13" laptop or maybe if I removed the protective cover. The leather is really good quality and the backpack arrived and had a pleasant leather smell. Overall great backpack that seems to have really good quality leather. I think it would work great for work, school, travel, etc.

The Perfect Material for Backpacks with a Water Bottle Holder
Our Leather
Full grain leather is the ideal material for a backpack with a water bottle holder — durable enough for daily use, structured enough to hold its shape with a bottle in the side pocket, and the only material that develops a rich patina over time. Its dense natural fibres resist abrasion and everyday wear naturally.
Every MAHI backpack with a water bottle holder is handcrafted from full grain leather, chosen for its durability, character, and ability to age beautifully. Available in heritage brown, black, vintage brown and mahogany — built to last in a way canvas and synthetic backpacks simply can't match.
