Samantha Brown nylon backpack

Ibby114 · ‎03-10-2010

Has anyone tried her current nylon backpack? With working remote I'm carrying my laptop form location to location at times and need a little variety with my laptop backpacks. Love the look of it- great pockets and storage (although the side entrance to the bag is a little odd).

I was wondering if they're machine washable. Even on a gentler cold wash. HSN's listing deosn't say anything- I emailed Samantha's company for info. Thought I'd check here since I rarely watch the presentations.

What got me started on Samantha Brown was her ingenius packing cubes. I did purchase her backpack a while back and have to say I was not impressed. I have ordered other products and they are just okay. Some items are just so cheaply made IMO, and as far as putting the backpack in the washer, I'd say no. You can just wipe with a cloth or disinfecting wipe and that would be enough. I gave my backpack to my daughter, she uses it to go to and from work. That's all it's good for, not for travel.

Best travel backpack that has served me well is my LL Bean.

@LindaSal thanks! I've bought luggage of Samantha's- the faux snakeskin rolling duffle in black/white. It's sturdy! But too shiny. So for a luggage set I bought

her nylon material luggage and it's really nice. With 'everything' going on I haven't traveled with it yet.

I was considering the rose shade backpack and figured that shade could get messy ....my reason for wanting to know the care instructions .I wouldn't be traveling with it- jsut back/forth to the office with my laptop. My current Kipling will only last so long!
