Mia Tui Jess Vegan Backpack | Review

Ad

I am always on the lookout for new backpacks, especially the ones designed for petite travellers like me. And that’s why when I saw the Jess backpack from Mia Tui, I was pretty excited because it looked just the right size for me.

Mia Tui was founded in 2010 by Charlotte, a mother of two who was living in Vietnam at that time. Charlotte set out to design a travel bag that could be the busy woman’s best friend and thus was born Mia Tui - a range of bags that is stylish yet completely practical. And the best part is they do not use any animal based products making the range suitable for vegans.

I have been a fan of Mia Tui ever since I started using their Mini Jen travel bag. The bag is not only stylish but also very practical and has been my go-to bag on many of my recent travels. So, I knew that my expectations of a well-made, durable and stylish backpack would not be unfounded. And I was right.

The Jess Backpack

Jess is the smallest backpack in Mia Tui range, the others being Sydney (with a padded laptop section) and Maya (a more fashionable option). Jess is both practical and minimalistic in design, which I like quite a lot. It is a classic design featuring a full zip closure for added security. There is also a zipped pocket on the back, which is only accessible to the wearer when the bag is on their back. This is the perfect compartment for storing valuables like your purse or phone.

Inside the bag, there is a zipped pocket, a larger pocket big enough for an iPad, a key clip, phone/pen holders and a clear accessory bag. The backpack is surprisingly spacious for its size and I love the well-thought-out design. It is simple, leaning more towards classic chic. And it feels comfortable when worn, even when packed with things and worn for hours.

And the best part, Jess is a cruelty-free bag, made of high-quality, man-made, soft faux leather.
