the Sydney

The Sydney is my first bag purchase from Andar. I previously purchased an iPhone case from them and, after searching for a new commuter backpack, decided to give their bags a try.
The quality of the bag is top-notch.I decided to purchase it after reading numerous reviews mentioning the padding on the straps, which is unusual for leather backpacks. It did not disappoint. The bag is very comfortable to wear all day and holds a surprising amount of stuff.

I do have two suggestions for improving the design. First, for anyone who carries a laptop, having an additional compartment inside the bag would be very useful to fit a 15” laptop. Second, once the bag is loaded with heavier items, the side magnets are a little too weak to keep the sides securely together.
Neither of these are dealbreakers, though. I love the bag, and it fits my needs very well for my everyday commute. Hope in the future more color ways will be added!

This bag looks even better in person. It was perfectly packaged to protect the bag and included a dust bag which I love. I use it as a work bag and it fits my 14” laptop and 8x11 planner and all my other day to day items. Side pockets fit a full size water bottle and 20 oz Yeti. No complaints whatsoever debating on getting another color. This brand is very slept on and a hidden gem!

The backpack is amazing! Real leather and heavy! Good size from pocket and anti theft pocket. Comes with the changing pad (which I don't need - my 3 kids are grown). I use as a work backpack and the quality is really good. Just a little part on the top (back part), the stitches are a lottle funny and the finishing is not so good but it doesn't bother. IS HEAVY when is empty, and teally heavy when is loaded. good size straps and comfortable.

My wife was wanting a book bag large enough to hold her laptop and other essentials, instead of going to work with multiple bags. She loves the bag, the material, the quality, while still maintaining fashionability.

I bought this as a gift for my wife. Amazing quality but I really wish there was a laptop section. There is a few pockets that probably could hold a smaller laptop but not a full size laptop which is what I was specifically looking for. It did come with this pad that you can use to wrap around the laptop and use as a divider but I would've preferred a section sewn in. Overall though, the bag is amazing. I found that all cute women's leather backpacks seem to have thin little straps and I was worried this looked similar in the pictures. They are thin straps but they're not uncomfortable with all my wife's stuff for work loaded in it. The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars was because of the lack of a laptop holder. Although, there was nothing in the description to suggest there was one so that's also on me. It's just difficult finding a cute women's backpack made of real leather that can hold everything for her work. This one just narrowly missed the mark for me.

This bag is so worth the money! Sturdy and fits my 16 inch laptop. I was looking for a stylish yet comfortable option and this bag was perfect. So glad I purchased.

Using it as a laptop bag, not a diaper bag, and it works great!

I purchased this bag for everyday and travel (not as a diaper bag). The look is great, quality is wonderful, and the color is exactly what I wanted. Now my go-to bag!

This is a great investment. Beautiful bag. Holds everything for my work travels.

Absolutely beautiful bag! Hold everything for my work travels, includes my 14 in laptop. Love this bag and will also be a perfect diaper bag for having a kid one day!

Yes, this is marketed as a diaper bag, but it is the BEST professional travel purse.

Sooo excited for my new backpack!! Smelled of genuine leather upon opening! With my 4th on the way I wanted a new diaper but also something I could use afterwards and this fits the picture in every way!

I know this is marketed as a diaper bag, but don’t be fooled - it can be whatever kind of bag you want. Because it was designed for moms with bottles, it’s got convenient, tall pockets in each side that fit a full sized water bottle. It’s got a large front pocket in which I’ve stashed altoids, and my phone, and some lip balm, and my wallet. It’s got a zippered back pocket that is enormous and fits an entire stack of research documentation. The interior has a big zippered pocket for a changing pad (which I tossed) and it’s the perfect spot for all my chargers and cables and tech accessories. My laptop, iPad, extra sweater and about three books are currently in the center section. But I could get all that functionality from any laptop backpack, but this one is beautiful. It’s so soft and sleek, I got the green which is so pretty and I get compliments on it from everyone. I think they should make this bag in more colors!

This bag is beautiful and well made! I needed a better work bag and this meets my needs…fits my laptop and several other work things. More possibilities than a diaper bag!

Love it!

It's the perfect diaper bag. Hands down. Looks good, holds up well and is perfect for carrying anything baby-related and non.

I’m excited to start using this as a diaper bag. It’s aesthetically pleasing and not too big and bulky.

I love this bag. I have a Tatum for everyday on the go with my kids. But wanted a backpack for when I needed to bring a little more with us. I hate when bags are so big that everything gets buried and lost, but this bag is working so well for us. It is GORGEOUS, soft leather and the interior is super soft too! I also love how the top has the magnets on the sides plus a zipper. Helps it close properly so the shape stays. I would say I want to get another one because its so awesome, but its so perfect and such great quality, I only need one!

Thisv is a great investment. I got this for my computer bag. I know it has everything for a diaper bag, but i will recommend for computers and work as well. The front pouch is great for pens and notes, but there are several compartments in the bag. I love the one in the back as well for travel. It makes me feel more secure to put my phone there. I love it!

Her arrival has left me speechless!!! The Sydney is breathtakingly beautiful in person! 🙃💕

Shout out to Andar for their meticulous packaging and rapid shipping. Initially, I had concerns that it might feel too heavy or oversized (5’3”/107lbs), but it is more manageable than expected. Also, the straps so far seem to be super comfortable!! Highly recommend!

AMAZING bag. I love the size and all the compartments in it! So excited to use it as a diaper bag!

Love this! Perfect teacher bag 🤍

This is the ultimate work bag! I love it!

Bigger than I expected and could fit everything I need for travel. I am using it for work bag. I wish the zipper pocket was a little bigger to fit a 17” laptop.

I needed a work backpack that looked elegant but still managed to fit everything I have to drag around with me. I looked at another leather backpack (from a very popular brand that looks vaguely similar but costs $200 more) but decided on the Sydney instead and I'm so glad I did. There's plenty of room for everything I need to carry, the pockets are well-placed, and the front zip pocket makes it easy to access keys and smaller items without having to dig through the entire bag. The Latte togo is a beautiful neutral that will work all year round and the leather is beautifully soft but not so soft that the bag is a slouchy mess. I'm sure it's a great diaper bag but if you're looking for a backpack that doesn't make you look like a teenager, this is it. I'm planning on taking it on my next trip, too!

Exactly what I wanted in a diaper bag. Beautiful and functional. I am simply thrilled about fining one in full grain leather that will stand the test of time. This is baby #6 we are expecting so I have been through many different brands and styles of diaper bags. This one is 5 out of 5.

After having a cheap diaper bag for 3 years and 2 kids, I decided it was time for me to get an upgrade. I got the Sydney as a Mother’s Day gift and I love it! Very well made, sturdy, and beautiful. I love the magnetic closure at the top. It fits my work laptop perfectly for when I’m out and about. Lots of space inside to use my packing cubes for organization.
