What size laptop does it take?

Up to 17 inches, in a padded compartment below the top section.

What is the flip-top lid on the Tokyo Flip-Top Backpack?

The lid is a smooth full-grain leather panel across the top of the bag that lifts back in one movement, rather than unzipping around three sides the way a conventional backpack does. It opens onto a top compartment, and a zipped mesh pocket is built into the underside of the lid itself, so a charger, a cable or a passport stays visible instead of sinking to the bottom of the bag. It is a quick way in and out, and it gives the piece a cleaner line than a zip top.

What size laptop does the Tokyo Flip-Top Backpack take?

The padded compartment is sized for machines up to 17 inches and sits below the top section, so the laptop is reached without disturbing whatever is packed above it. There is also an RFID-protected pocket for contactless cards, which shields them from being scanned while the bag is on your back in a crowd.

What size is the Tokyo Flip-Top Backpack?

The bag measures 31cm wide by 42cm high by 14.5cm deep. That is wide enough to take a 17-inch laptop flat in its padded compartment while staying slim front to back, so it holds a full working setup without standing off your back. The back panel is padded mesh with a central channel, and the contoured shoulder straps are mesh-backed with metal adjusters, so it stays comfortable when it is full.

What is the Tokyo Flip-Top Backpack made from?

The body is ballistic nylon, a dense, tightly woven fabric built to resist abrasion, which keeps the bag light for its size and lets it shrug off airport handling. The lid, the base panel and the trim are cut from full-grain leather, the strongest and most durable grade, which softens with handling and deepens in tone over the life of the bag. Inside, the lining is sustainably sourced 100% recycled fabric with a repeat J&H monogram, and the zip pulls are gunmetal on leather tabs, engraved with the Jekyll & Hide hexagon.

How many pockets does the Tokyo Flip-Top Backpack have?

On the outside there is a zip pocket on the front, marked with a hexagonal Jekyll & Hide badge on a leather patch, and a zip pocket on each side for a phone, a passport or a travel card. Inside, a zipped mesh pocket is set into the lid, a padded compartment holds a 17-inch laptop, and an RFID-protected pocket shields contactless cards. A trolley sleeve on the back panel slides the whole bag over a suitcase handle.
