That’s why we’re so excited to introduce you to 8 of our greatest fans.

1. “The bobobark is the bag you have been looking for!” - Rebecca Fischer
Why do you love your bobobark?
“I love my bobobark bag for many different reasons: my bobobark keeps everything organized, and I love to be organized. My bobobark makes getting items and putting items away super easy with the clamshell opening. You can access your laptop two different ways, keep items separate with the interior middle pocket, and I love how much you can actually put inside of the bag! It's incredible!
Aside from how much you can carry, the design of the bag makes it so seriously comfortable to wear. Somehow the design shifts the weight away from the shoulder straps towards the lower end of the bag, putting the weight more on your hips. I believe with my bag full it weighs over 10 lbs!!!
The bag full is super sleek, meaning it hardly looks like you are carrying anything at all! The material is buttery and so wonderful to touch! It keeps the rain off. This bag is literally my Boss Bag. I am able to slay at my job, carry my essentials with me everywhere, and look like I am just out for an afternoon stroll!”
What are the most useful features of your bobobark?
“Most useful feature of the bag for me is the easy accessibility of all of your items: cell phone, charge bank, writing books, pencil case, remarkable (writing pad), and of course the laptop!
So, I guess the features themselves would be the clam shell opening, centre organizer pocket, and easy access zipper for my laptop. However, it is hard to forget the ability to change up the straps, and just how absolutely gorgeous this bag is!”
What would you tell other ladies thinking of purchasing a convertible backpack purse like bobobark?
“What would I tell others ladies looking to invest in the best bag they will ever own?
The investment is 100% worth it!
This bag is functional, practical, useful, comfortable, and just gorgeous! Don't waste your time buying a bag that just won't function like the bobobark, other bags are cumbersome and most certainly not as unique nor as innovative in their design. The bobobark is the bag you have been looking for!”
2. “It's such a versatile bag that I haven't stopped using it since it arrived.” - Hannah Bellis
Why do you love your bobobark?
“It's professional looking like a leather handbag, but I can use it everyday. I'm able to fit all my stuff from a water bottle to a laptop to snacks and more! I usually just sling it over my shoulder, but it's not so large that I can't carry it by my side running in from the car.”
What are the most useful features of your bobobark?
“I love the easy, wide open top of the bobobark. Between that and the high contrast inside, I'm able to quickly grab what I need and be back to work or fun.”
What would you tell other ladies thinking of purchasing a convertible backpack purse like bobobark?
“It's such a versatile bag that I haven't stopped using it since it arrived. The lovely design means you can dress it up or just have fun with it. The materials used mean you are able to use it every day. I'm very glad I invested in this bag, and would love other versions and colors down the road.”
3. “I love my bobobark because it's both professional and practical, and not too heavy.” - Mandi Gould
Why do you love your bobobark?
“I love my bobobark because it's both professional and practical, and not too heavy. I really wanted a nice laptop bag I could use as a purse, backpack, and laptop bag. It's perfect.”
What are the most useful features of your bobobark?
“My favourite feature is the way that it opens at the top with the clasp, and I also like that it's not too heavy. And there is just the right number of pockets. Not too many so you can't remember where you've put things but enough to stay organized.”
What would you tell other ladies thinking of purchasing a convertible backpack purse like bobobark?
“The bobobark is a good investment so you can stop searching endlessly for mediocre bags and just have one great go-to bag that actually works.”
4. “Buy this one! But in all seriousness, this bag has it all. It's sustainably made, vegan, water resistant, fashionable, professional, and practical.” - Nanako Aramaki
Why do you love your bobobark?
“I love how stylish it is while being practical. I don't know a lot of bags that do this successfully. To be honest, because I need to carry my laptop, laptop adapter, and morning smoothie to work, the bag gets pretty heavy so I only use it as a backpack.
It's so beautiful that you might think it's not a comfortable backpack but to my surprise, it is! I walk with it for 30 to 45 minutes with no issues. If anything, I might be helping with my back and posture since the straps pull back on my shoulders!”
What are the most useful features of your bobobark?
“All of the compartments. The little compartment in the front is great for storing keys and phones. The zipper access to the laptop area is also very useful.”
What would you tell other ladies thinking of purchasing a convertible backpack purse like bobobark?
“Buy this one! But in all seriousness, this bag has it all. It's sustainably made, vegan, water resistant, fashionable, professional, and practical. I did my research before buying the bobobark and I don't think there is any other bag out there that hits all of the categories.”
5. “From grocery shopping to date night, it’s just so pretty.” - Jannaee Sick
Why do you love your bobobark?
“I love my bobobark because of the classic appeal. Once, while I was out wearing it someone commented on it once and said they thought it was a briefcase. I loved that feedback because that was the look I was going for (polished and sophisticated). Yet the best part is that the purse is versatile.
From grocery shopping to date night, it's just so pretty. Also, I work at a big tech company, and wanted to be able to bring my laptop to work in a laptop bag that looked feminine and mature, not a highschooler's backpack.
I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the orange interior. I'm in love with understated yet thoughtful design in products. Like colorfully printed pockets inside of the pocket of a plain shirt.”
What are the most useful features of your bobobark?
“The side pocket! I recently discovered that I suffer from severe allergies. I love that I can tuck my EpiPen inside of that side pocket, and be able to access it fast if needed. It makes me feel safe, knowing that if I need it it's not buried down too deep for me or anyone else to access. Also, I store my face mask in that pocket.
Although one feature that I wish could be improved, is if there was weight to the inside strap that holds the laptop inside of the back slot. I hate having to keep pushing that down, and would rather it just sink down in place.”

What would you tell other ladies thinking of purchasing a convertible backpack purse like bobobark?
“I would tell them about you [Elie] and your daughter [Natacha] because I think it's such a great story (a father-daughter team! So cute!)
I would tell them about the negative feedback I saw from some people regarding peeling and tell them that it's not an issue for me and probably won't be for them either.
I would tell them that while it may seem like a lot to pay, it really is well worth it. It's a high quality and well-made purse that is durable and eco-friendly.”

Why do you love your bobobark?

"I have told the women in my life about this bag, how it’s made from cork, about its classic design and versatility. I even got my own mother to buy it by talking about it so much. And we’re both getting the bebebark as well.
I often share my bag on Instagram musing about it, and the ways it can be used. From the accessories like clutch for quick outings and how I’ll put a chain through it, the coin purse which I use for my AirPods and extra cords, and the sunglasses case to keep my glasses safe."
8. “If you are considering purchasing a bobobark, I say just go for it!” - Cissa Dieleman
Why do you love your bobobark?
“I live in Boston where I commute to work everyday for my job as a Travel Specialist. Not only do I have long commutes, but I also get paid to travel the world testing experiences for my clients. Bobobark is the perfect bag for looking stylish, keeping everything within easy reach, and maintaining a slim profile on busy metros and planes.”
What are the most useful features of your bobobark?
“I absolutely adore the quick access side zippers, which keep my items secure, while also allowing me to quickly grab my phone and wallet without much trouble. If that weren't enough, the way it opens for a full view of the interior allows me to find just what I need when I'm running through Rome to make my next hotel viewing appointment.”
What would you tell other ladies thinking of purchasing a convertible backpack purse like bobobark?
"If you are considering purchasing a bobobark, I say just go for it! My partner had been debating getting one when she saw mine, but the size was a bit too much for her day-to-day. But, as soon as the bebebark was announced, I purchased one as a gift for her! Now size isn't an obstacle for this perfect and environmentally friendly bag.”
