Good questions

Which laptops fit?
Both 13" and 16" laptops fit in the padded sleeve, so it works for a MacBook Pro 16 or any 15"–16" Windows laptop.
Can I take it on a plane as a carry-on?
Yes. At 38 × 30 × 14 cm (plus the roll-top) it's within standard cabin-bag limits for the major UK and European airlines.
How much does it hold?
20 litres with the roll-top closed and up to 23 litres extended: a 16" laptop, A4 folder, lunch bag, bottle and umbrella in the side pockets, and a change of clothes.
Is it comfortable when full?
That's what the Large is built for: extra-padded straps and back panel spread the weight, and the structured shape keeps the load close to your back.
Can I wash it?
Yes. Machine wash at 30°C on a delicate setting, then air dry. Don't tumble dry or iron, and skip bleach and harsh chemicals.
How much is delivery, and can I return it?
Free UK delivery on orders over £70. Standard delivery is £3.95 (2–3 working days) and express is £6.50 (next working day). Order before 1pm Monday to Friday and we dispatch the same day. We currently deliver to the UK and the USA; US orders ship from our US warehouse with duties included. You have 30 days to return anything unused in its original packaging, sale items included, for a full refund. Every bag is also covered by our 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

The Hackney Large: laptop, overnight bag and carry-on in one

The Large is the Hackney for longer days and short trips. It takes a 16" laptop (13" fits too) in a padded sleeve, an A4 folder, a lunch bag, and a change of clothes, with a bottle and umbrella in the long side pockets. At 38 × 30 × 14 cm plus a 17 cm roll-top it holds 20 litres closed and up to 23 litres extended, and it's cabin-bag approved.

It's made from 21 rescued plastic bottles, water-resistant with no PFA coatings, and built for weight: extra-padded straps for back support, a hidden back pocket for valuables, a roll-top with zip and extra-strong magnets, and two internal hooks (elastic and metal) for keys. Machine washable at 30°C, 2-year warranty.

If you mostly carry a 13" or 14" laptop and want something slimmer for the daily commute, the Medium is the better fit.

Great quality product. Quick delivery. Happily recommend this company.

Perfect bag for travelling

The Medium bag is surprisingly roomy, with just the right number and size of pockets. I chose the slate grey colour as it was reduced, so I got a bargain price as well! Bought as a carry-on bag for a transatlantic flight, and as a day pack for a lot of walking around NYC, it has been extremely comfortable. There was a hitch with the Royal Mail tracking and the Customer Services people were super-responsive and checked the delivery for me. Love Kind Bag!

More spacious than it seems, well made, useful pockets, attractive, and waterproof as a bonus.

Just the backpack I needed!

You wouldn’t believe the number of backpacks I’ve been through as a neurodivergent SEND parent. I always need a bag large enough to accommodate my everyday needs (I have a lot of needs!) that I can just hoik on my back and fly out the door without worrying about the rain or what the bag does to my menopausal joints. This is perfect. It has a range of compartments including a secret pocket tucked in the side and a clasp on an elastic lead for your keys. Oh, and it’s made of recycled plastic bottles which ensures both its hardwearing nature and eco-credentials, AND comes in a range of mouth-watering shades. I had such a hard time choosing my colour but the fact that black was not the only choice had me skipping for joy! Much recommended ✨

Love the fabric design, quality feels good. Various pockets inside and on outside. Great bottle holder inside and key fob chain. Love its recycled materials and by a female led brand. Quick delivery. Got when on offer too!

Karen Pearn
So pretty and very well made

My Kind bags get used for trips to the beach, groceries, swimming gear for the gym, and many other things. They are sturdy, gorgeous, and last practically forever, which is a good use of recycled plastic bottles!

I’ve had this backpack for a full year now and use it every day. It’s held up incredibly well and is still in great shape. The quality of the materials is excellent, and it’s been incredibly useful for both everyday use and travel. A great purchase that has definitely stood the test of time!

Best Do-It-All Bag Ever!

I am thrilled with my navy medium Hackney backpack, bought at an extremely reasonable price in the sale. It is smart and incredibly practical, and can carry lots of my daily requirements without being too bulky - I've used it as a gym bag as well. I got caught in a heavy shower recently and everything inside stayed as dry as a bone. I love the compartments inside and out, and the straps are comfortable and easy to adjust. The bag is very well-made, with sturdy zips and magnet fasteners that function very well. I can see myself getting lots and lots of use out of it! Lastly, customer service was exemplary - the bag was promptly despatched and well-packed. I love the ethos of this company and heartily recommend its products.
