About Knack

Knack sprang from the simple observation that too many people were carrying too many bags at the same time. This aha moment spurred our passion to live a One Bag Life. So we pulled together a dedicated group of frequent travelers and bag enthusiasts––from Tumi, Coach, North Face, Samsonite, and eBags––to create the one bag that’s clever enough to replace two.

Testimonials

If you travel often or juggle work and life on the go, the Knack Series 2 Backpack (Large) might be the only bag you need ... The dedicated laptop compartment is padded and roomy enough to comfortably fit up to a 17” laptop, and I appreciate the peace of mind knowing my tech is protected. The organizational layout inside is intuitive, with just the right amount of pockets for cords, chargers, notebooks, and personal items—without turning into a black hole which seems to be the normal struggle I have with larger backpacks.

This bag is amazing. I genuinely spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out the perfect bag for me and this one meets all those requirements ... Do you like a bag that's comfortable, compact, expandable when you need it to be and pocket smart for techies? This is the one!

Nikhil N.

I love this bag for more than just travel! ... Not only do I bring my laptop for work as well as a tech pouch for all the various dongles and power cords that laptop needs. I also bring my own keyboard and mouse. Since keyboards and a mouse get pretty gross anyway not to mention the risk of germs spreading, so having my own just makes things a lot more sanitary. The bag also holds my water bottle, my lunch and my shoes (I wear street shoes to and from work because the winter weather will ruin a pair of dress shoes quickly). The bag handles all of this without having to expand it. So if I need to bring a sweater or gym gear for after work I can just expand my bag and fit whatever else I need. In one bag!

Obsessed with this backpack - the compression part is genius - capacity, laptop slot all great!
