Room for improvement

Over all it’s a pretty good bag. I received it as a gift from my very generous MIL. I would like it better if the padding was thicker on the shoulder straps and if it had a dedicated water bottle pocket. Those would be the only improvements I would suggest.
I love my backpack! It has space for my laptop and iPad Pro with room to spare. It also has multiple compartments for cords, cellphones and other items to keep me organized. I was concerned that I would not like the pattern, but immediately loved it upon unpacking!
This backpack surprisingly fits more than it looks like it could. I thought it was small at first! It is so stylish and functional at the same time. I have it both on in the deep plum color (for work) and the new sentosa sunset (which is a gorgeous color and I use on international trips). I like all the compartments which is great for organization. I really love the hidden phone pocket at the back. I can't imagine traveling without this now. I wish the sentosa sunset color would also be available for other products, like the sling bag :)
For years I've been using robust and manly backpacks that were available, and last fall I decided to treat myself to the classy, feminine Celina in black with gold hardware. Well, I am accustomed to being able to easily pack 3 days' worth of gear, plus my laptop, into my old backpacks, and didn't check the capacity of this bag. It just doesn't work. I had to give my husband the overflow items (top, TSA baggie, jacket) to put into his other-brand robust backpack. Even then, the straps on the Celina feel like they are going to rip off at the shoulder seams. Am not happy and will probably pass this on to my sister, who doesn't try to pack light.
This is my third Tumi backpack, and I cannot get enough of it. The number of pockets allows me to pack all of my items with ease and stay organized. I can fit my 32oz wide mouth water bottle in the side pocket to keep hydrated. Also, the sleek look of the black/gunmetal pairs well with any outfit. 10/10 recommend
