More Than a Personal Item—My Ultimate Travel Bag

I’ve had my Duane Hybrid Briefcase Backpack for several years now, and I can honestly say I’m obsessed with it. This bag has been through countless trips with me, and it never disappoints. Whether I’m using it as an overnight bag or as a carry-on for flights, it always delivers on both functionality and durability. I’m tough on my gear, but this bag still looks and performs like a champ. The versatility is unbeatable—I can carry it as a briefcase or switch to the backpack straps when I need hands-free convenience. The only tiny gripe I have is that it doesn’t come with a built-in trolley strap. I usually just use the backpack straps to secure it on top of my wheeled luggage, and while that works fine, a dedicated strap would make it perfect. What really blows me away is how often I run into other travelers carrying the same bag. Without fail, they point it out and we end up talking about how much we all love it. I’ve searched high and low for something that matches its functionality but with a bit more style—and nothing comes close. This bag is simply in a league of its own. If you’re on the fence, trust me: you’ll fall in love with it too.

Smaller

This is smaller than I was hoping for in this bag. The front pockets are nice and big but you can't fit a laptop and a binder in the larger section. I like that it opens so you can find something. If you are hoping for something to carry laptop and a bunch of other stuff for travel this may not work. But if you need something for a day at work this might work.

Best one

It is lightweight, and enough space for all my files and paperwork. It is also waterproof. Got caught in the rain and it was completely dry inside. Honestly so impressed with the quality of this bag. I saw a lot of other bags within similar price ranges but they all looked very flimsy. This bag is very sturdy and spacious!

Love this 3-1 bag

The Solo New York Duane Hybrid Briefcase is a smart 3-in-1 bag that works as a briefcase, backpack, or messenger bag. It fits laptops up to 15.6 inches and has a tablet pocket too. The backpack straps can be hidden, and it comes with a removable shoulder strap. With multiple front pockets, padded handles, and good space inside, it’s great for work or travel. Very practical and stylish! My husband love this bag. He is using it for office everyday.

Perfect

I bought this laptop case 5 years ago, and it was great for carrying my laptop, and everything else that I use for work. Just had to replace (no fault of Solo-NY) since my ex ruined mine

Perfect for traveling

I’ve been using this backpack-case from Solo New York, and I’m genuinely impressed by how functional and well-designed it is. What makes it stand out is its versatility — you can wear it like a backpack or carry it as a sleek case, depending on what fits your day. It’s perfect for traveling or commuting, especially if you need to stay organized on the go. There’s a dedicated space for everything: your laptop, tablet, tools, gadgets, camera, and even your passport. The interior pockets are thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to grab what you need without digging around. I’ve taken it on a few trips already, and it comfortably held all my essentials without feeling bulky. The quality is solid, from the zippers to the fabric, and the overall design is clean and professional. It strikes the right balance between style and practicality, which isn’t always easy to find. If you’re someone who’s always on the move and needs a bag that can keep up, I highly recommend this one.

Must have

I'm really impressed with its versatility and design. One of the things I love most is that it can be carried in three different ways: by hand like a briefcase, over the shoulder with the strap, or as a backpack. This makes it perfect for different situations—whether I'm commuting, traveling, or just heading to a café. The quality of the material feels durable and water-resistant, and the compartments are well-organized, making it easy to store not only my laptop but also chargers, notebooks, and other accessories. The zippers are smooth and sturdy, and the overall design is sleek and professional. Overall, this is a practical and stylish choice for anyone who needs a reliable and multifunctional laptop bag.
