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.

Travel Backpacks for Women FAQs

Is the Knack the best travel backpack for carry-on flights?

Yes. Knack is designed to function as the best travel backpack for women who want to skip checked luggage and move confidently through the airport.

Each travel pack is sized to meet carry-on requirements for most major domestic and international airlines. It fits comfortably in overhead bins and, when packed light, can slide under many seats as well.

Because every airline has slightly different rules, we always recommend double-checking dimensions before you fly. That said, Knack bags are built with carry-on travel in mind from the start.
Can this expandable backpack hold everything I need for a weekend trip?

Absolutely. Knack is an expandable backpack, which means it transitions from a streamlined everyday laptop backpack to a spacious travel bag when you need extra room.
Depending on the size you choose, Knack packs can hold up to 4–5 outfits but, in one Knack Pack, many women also pack:

Shoes and toiletries
Travel documents
A laptop in the padded laptop compartment
Chargers and essentials
A full 12 oz. water bottle

When compressed, it works beautifully as a smaller backpack for daily use. When expanded, it becomes a fully capable travel pack for short trips. No checked bag required.
Is the Knack backpack comfortable enough for long travel days?

Comfort is built into the design. Knack bags feature ergonomic padded straps and an adjustable shoulder strap system that distributes weight evenly.

For travelers navigating airports, city streets, and train platforms, that comfort matters. The structured design helps prevent sagging, even when your laptop compartment and travel sections are fully packed.

And when you prefer not to carry it on your back, the integrated trolley sleeve allows you to slide your backpack securely over your rolling suitcase handle. Smooth transitions, less shoulder strain.
How does Knack handle airport security with laptops and electronics?

Each Knack laptop backpack includes a dedicated, protective laptop compartment designed for quick access.

This means:
Easy removal at TSA checkpoints
No unpacking your entire travel bag
Secure storage for tablets and electronics

Organization pockets keep chargers and accessories contained, so security lines feel less chaotic and more streamlined.

Testimonials

I was looking for a travel backpack that could be well organized and not embarrassing to use for work when I reached my destination. For years I have been traveling with an additional nicer-looking tote to use while at meetings, but this takes up space in my luggage and I wanted to consolidate these functions. This backpack does the trick! Very well organized, light, and not ugly/utilitarian looking while at meetings. I'm glad that I purchased this bag.

I just completed a three-month trip to Colombia, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay. The bag traveled really well and was easy to pack and organize. It went on 12 flights and in and out of many cars, taxis, buses, and ferries. It was really durable; yet it still looks new.

Allegera K.

As a short woman (5'0"), I wanted the bag to sit comfortably on my hips.

This bag hits all those marks and then some! In addition: the space for storing cords and chargers is a thing I didn't know I was looking for. The small top pocket for storing sunglasses is also perfect for storing my my ear buds.

Kirsten S.

LOVE love love this backpack! It is exactly what I was looking for; something to stay small and streamlined so I am not lugging this massive empty backpack around daily but expands into a legit suitcase-like storage should I need it. It has already saved my butt during travel as carry-on overflow. So many storage pockets and zippers and places to put this for maximum organization and also looks sleek, stylish and 'businessy' for meetings.
