della Q Maker's Midi Backpack - Orange Reviews

Love my bag! It allows me to travel with all my knitting items in one bag.

So this is not my first Della Q bag but this one definitely hits my sweet spot. Just big enough for my stuff and my emergency knitting. The side pockets don’t fit a water bottle but I like my phone in one and my sunglasses in the other. Little niggles still remain I would love a lighter interior - and the yarn cutter is heavy and not my fave but overall this is my new rambling bag.

This bag is the right size for a project on the go. Love the color .

I brought this backpack to Denmark and am writing the review post trip. The material holds up well and I found the snaps to be more travel friendly than I expected. I did not have any security worries. The two outside slip pockets I used for sunglasses and reading glasses. The small zip pocket was for chap stick and eye drops. I kept my phone Pixel 8 in the larger front zip pocket. I kept a small water bottle inside along with knitting, a paperback book, hat, wallet, etc. The pack was comfortable to wear and I often used the leather handle. I have a photo of myself wearing the backpack along with another trip participant who brought the larger backpack, also in Olive. I don't see a place to upload a photo, though. The bag fit easily under the plane seat, as well.

I really wanted to like this midi backpack- especially as I travel extensively, and my old midi backpack was in need of replacement. I really wish you would bring back the old style of the midi backpack. 1. The pockets for the water bottle are too small- no water bottle will fit in them. 2. The snaps do not stay snapped. 3. The bag is not water repellant. 4. Really doesn’t hold much- would not even hold my project supplies for a shawl. The old bag had 3 distinct sections, that could be securely closed-plus they held more items securely, opened accordion style with a strap and hook to securely keep it closed. As we travel, the old style bag was great- served as a purse/backpack that could handle the rain and all my project/travel needs. The old style also had a ‘leash’ with a clasp to hold scissors, etc. Please bring back the old style!

This backpack is lovely and very well made. I’m looking forward to using it when traveling.

I asked for this as a birthday present and the tipping point for this bag was the water bottle pockets. But they are too small to fit any of my bottles.
