LODIS Backpack A625708 - Anyone Have It?

JeanLouiseFinch · ‎10-03-2011

I'm looking for feedback on this LODIS backpack. I need a good, safe, secure, but stylish handbag option for a trip later this year. We'll be flying, doing touristy stuff, shopping, going for dinner. I normally like a medium to medium-large purse. Since we'll be gone for only a short trip, I'm only using one purse for the entire trip, no day/night switches. I'll probably continue carrying it throughout December as I'll select the green option.

@JeanLouiseFinch. While backpacks are handy, leaving you hands free, it seems to me they are the most unsecured item you could carry. They're on your back out of sight and an open, easy invitation to any pickpocket. It's like waving your possessions under their noses.

That's a good point, @Kachina624. I've also been looking into little locks for securing the zippers.

@JeanLouiseFinch what about a sling bag?

Love my backpack!

And for travel, while at airports or touring, etc, the idea of little locks for zippers would give total anxiety relief!

My life has never felt as easy or organized as it is while now carrying a backpack.

I believe the reason is that for my daily life, I can keep everything I need at my fingertips (EVERYTHING) and take out of car and into shopping just only a few items.

I really like the looks of the one you have chosen!

@LTT1 I switch it up, I like backpacks as well. I use little cosmetic bags to keep different items in so they don't get lost in the abyss.

Right now I'm carrying a LV Saumur , it's a crossbody which feels better for my shoulders

The Lodis backpack is very handsome. But I am not a fan of backpacks for travel. I don't know how you can add locks on those zippers unless they have something designed for hooking onto a lock. Also they are difficult for people to maneuver getting them on and off without smacking other people in tight situations like airplanes. I have a nice Baggallini one I used when taking the grandchildren to Disney World so I could be hands free, but I haven't used it since. I prefer by Baggallini Avenue tote. If you decide to get one for touring, be sure it is water resistant for bad weather.
