Great for minimalist travel
Bought this backpack for a 2 week trip to Europe. I used it as my carry on bag on the plane. This fit everything I needed and kept me under my self imposed 20 lb weight limit. Lots of pockets and zippered compartments. It opens like a clamshell for easy access. This was very durable the straps were comfortable on my shoulders. I highly recommend this bag!

Beautiful and Spacious Backpack
I ordered this backpack after being in the hospital and discussing with my brother in another state if I would come and stay with his family because at that time I wasn't walking well but I had no luggage and so I just in case I had to do that I needed to order some travel luggage for my possession but I don't have a lot of strength so I didn't want to have to carry something and backpacks work really well for me. I love the size of it and the fabric I love black but I have an orange cat so I don't order black a lot and his hair does not seem to pick up on this or it's easy to brush off. there's a lot of compartments to test out the size I took my twin size quilt and folded it Up inside and I added my threshold pink fleece blanket I think it's 50 x 70 or 50x60 but it's really thick and I was able to fit them in there and zipper it it was a little tight to zipper the zippers feel really good quality I do feel like if you were to stuff it and try to zipper it it could break but that's not the zipper's fault. even with those things in there I could pack the front with some items. I don't need to pack those in the suitcase I just wanted to test out the size of the backpack and what it could hold. if I were to change anything I think I would like a cup holder on the side it's always nice to have the side pockets sometimes. I got it on sale but part of me feels like 70$ is overpriced I think 50 would be more reasonable, which is why I gave it four stars and not five

Poor quality and customer service...avoid
This is a 2 year use review. Be aware the warranty on this Open Story backpack is 1 year. Although it is listed on the Target website description, nowhere on the Open Story product label is this explicitly stated. After 2 years of part-time use for overnight business trips, one of the shoulder straps is starting to pull out of where its attached on the bottom of the backpack. I've owned numerous backpacks over 45+ years and never had this happen. If this wasn't bad enough, I attempted to reach out to Open Story via the email listed on their website. I sent an email 4 times checking the email provided each time. The email address is not valid and kicks back as invalid and undeliverable. Furthermore, Open Story doesnt have a phone number listed either. I contacted Target customer service and advised them of the situation. Target advised the warranty is expired so there's nothing they will do and instead provided me the email address for Open Story I had already told them doesnt work. So Target is selling a poor quality product from a manufacturer who cannot be contacted even if the item was stiĺl under warranty. I recommend staying away from these Open Story backpacks and other products for the quality and customer service issues noted above.

Don't bother
Don’t waste your money. I’ve gotten this bag twice and they have both ripped. Coincidentally both ripped right after a year. Right after the return policy. That’s suspicious.

The most amazing backpack!
I want to say that this backpack was such a lifesafer back in 2023. I had gotten married in Vegas and my mom was suppose to bring back with her my wedding dress and other items but didnt so I had basically little space for my items during my mini-moon. I ended up buying this backpack in Glendale Mall (LA). I took a change with it and I was BLOWN AWAY with how spacious this backpack is. I have since taken it to NY, DC and various parts of FL. 100/100 I would recommend not only this product but any other Openstory item.

My Go-To Travel Companion
I’m obsessed with this backpack! It’s perfect for weekend getaways and daily use. The exterior zip pockets are super handy for quick access to essentials like my phone or snacks. I haven’t had any issues with durability so far. Highly recommend for anyone needing a stylish, functional bag.

The Perfect Carryon
this could be the pefect This backpack would be the perfect carryon had it not been for low-quality craftsmanship. I love the amount of pockets, the large volume capacity and overall functionality. There are pockets for clothing, shoes, wet, personal, and computer items, etc. After 3 trips, this bag is starting to tatter and I am going to return it. If it were the Jansport brand, it would be amazing. I still have my Jansport from 1992, not 1 rip, tear or defect.

Travel with ease
I used this on a European trip that included a variety of transportation methods and road conditions—everything from cobblestone streets to crushed rock paths. It worked like a charm! The multiple compartments made it easy to stay organized throughout the journey. Grab it while on sale for an extra bonus!!

Love this Bag
I absolutely love this bag and it’s always my go-to while traveling, I use the gray one for my international travel and my green one for my domestic travel. It has so much space and so many zippers. It has never failed me. Only thing I wish it had was a water bottle holder! But overall love this bag.

Loved it
I love the Open Story Travel Backpack — but I wish you offered a version with both sides that open fully like a suitcase for better packing and organization.”

Not good for Checked Luggage
I love this bag for weekend trips where I am the only one handling the bag, and it even worked for a carryon in the overhead storage bin of a plane. Only dissatisfaction is that when my plane was overbooked and the overhead storage was full, this bag was checked and returned to me with a small tear in the seam. This was only its first time getting checked, so I expected it to perform better. If you think this may end up getting checked, or handled not so gently, I would not purchase. If it had not been so long between buying this and actually bringing it on a plane, I would return it. I have beat up cheaper bags and they still have no damage unlike this one which ripped after one manhandling. I like the layout of the bag, just wish it held up better

Skip, this bag
This backpack works well for a trip lasting one to two days, but its quality is lacking. You might like the price now, but trust me, you'll wish you had thought twice.
