Russian Pointe Origami Backpack

My husband and I have this to our daughter for Christmas. She had been looking around for a better dance bag (which had to be a backpack) and discovered this one. She is no longer competing with a studio team and is now only competing her solos and traveling around for intensives/conventions/auditions. She doesn't have to carry as much as she used so she loves it! Thank you!

I was looking for something a little larger than my Gaynor Minden bag, but still carry-on friendly, that I could take with me to intensives, and this fit the bill. My only complaints are, that for a dance bag, it's missing dance specific compartments, like mesh pockets for your pointe shoes, and the backside that opens to hold a laptop or tablet, actually opens to the main compartment. The way it is advertised you'd think it's a sectioned off easy access compartment, but in reality you'll need to be cautious to not spill out the contents of the bag. This design also means that whatever you put in it is taking up space in the main bag, making it not as big as you think it might be. For an everyday bag, the Gaynor Minden one is still much better, but the added capacity and lightweight nature of this bag is nice, it just could have been done better in my opinion, if there had been more attention paid to the details.

I bought this bag for my daughter who is an inspiring actress. She loves the bag and explained it holds everything she needs.

An incredible upgrade from the duffel type dance bags. Plenty of room for everything you need for a long dance day. The raspberry color is really pretty! Our only wish is that the mesh on the back was a pointe shoe pocket-it is not.

Love this bag! Plenty of room for all my stuff (including laptop). It has a zipper in the back to access my laptop when the bag is closed. Really like all the side pockets and pouches for my phone, keys, etc.
