Backpack came with scratches and stains. This is the first time this happens to me with Carl Friedrik, hence I feel is important to put this review.

Solid bag, big capacity
This is my first piece of Carl Friedrik. Love my Rimowa, and Tumi, but learned about Carl Friedrik through YouTube and of course Succession. I agree with the other reviews that this is a BIG bag, with big capacity. It's also solidly built, and holds its shape. And it has useful pockets, while still maintaining a sleek appearance. All good.
Two things I'll note FWIW. The bag has a distinct smell. I bought it a couple of weeks before a trip, and I had to put it in a separate room to "off-gas." I even put it in the back seat, and drove it around with the windows open. If you are sensitive to smell, don't plan to use this right away for a long flight! And the nylon interior -- especially for the laptop pocket -- is pretty industrial. Doesn't feel as expensive or refined as I would expect at this price point. Probably very durable, but not elegant. Zipper pulls also look a little cheap. Oh, and I wish it came with a luggage tag! (It has a loop, and all of my Tumi backpacks came with luggage tags, but not this bag) I'll need to try and match this somehow....
Those quibbles aside, this is a solid, good-looking bag. Definitely one I'd buy again, and am looking forward to adding their Palissy Weekend bag next!
