BBP's Urbanomic (urban + ergonomic) designed bags feature the revolutionary Bak2Pak carrying system that lets you convert from ergonomic dual strap backpack to a single strap messenger bag. The Hamptons style is multi-functional with a hipster edge. Three usable pockets for all those things you have to carry but couldn't with your old tired bag. Fits the Macbook, MacBook Pro 13, and MacBook Air 11/13. Fits most 10-13" PCs. Bag Dimensions 15.5"W x 12"H x 6" D. Laptop Compartment holds up to 13.25"W x 9.5"H x 1.25"D. Review: Good idea, but not sure if it really works - I used this bag for 30 days before I ultimately returned it to desertcart. PRO: Great build and quality, as far as I could tell. Design does get some pressure off of your shoulders. I found that with the backpack straps and the waist strap tightened, I could carry a load without too much shoulder strain. Laptop sleeve accessible without opening the bag. Perfect for my 11-inch Macbook Air. Water bottle holder. Orange lining makes it easy to find things. Plenty of room. CON: Conversion from backpack to shoulder bag is not simple. Requires several steps that can be done, but I found that once I had it set up for my back, I never converted the bag back. It was easier to hold it on one shoulder using one strap if necessary. Pockets on the outside are small. I am not sure what they are designed for. The center pocket fits a smartphone *or* wallet *or* sunglasses. The others will fit keys or small objects. I'd prefer a larger pocket on the outside. Aside from the aesthetic qualities (this is a nice looking bag), I don't see any advantage over a decent backpack. I went back to my old Kensington Saddlebag, which holds just about as much stuff with more convenient pockets and a simpler way to switch from side to back carry. Review: Still the best product on the market - This is my second one. My first lasted about 7 or 8 years before the main zipper failed. I love the bag. Even had a couple co-workers buy it because they liked it so much. This new one is a small which works better with my smaller (12.5") laptop. Also easier to manage in close quarters like an airplane aisle. The new straps are stiffer than the old design which makes it harder to put on though they might relax in time. The new clasps on the main compartment are more difficult to open and close than the previous design but overall still the best product on the market in my opinion. ## Features - Award winning ergonomic design - Laptop Magazine's Editor Choice - Bak2Pak Carrying System converts between ergonomic low riding backpack with Lumbar Bum Pads and convenient single strap - Top-loading laptop compartment with heavy duty padding and snugfit adjusters to zip through airport security and protect your expensive laptop - Tons of pockets to store all your Gadgets - Cell phone MP3 player PDA Power cords Cables Etc - Additional features include Luggage handle pass-through Umbrella/newspaper holder Mesh water bottle holders Super tough water resistant materials Sternum and waist straps Quick release 1-button buckles Keychain holder Pen holders ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001OSNZ9U | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Customer Reviews | 3.4 3.4 out of 5 stars (16) | | Date First Available | October 3, 2011 | | Item Weight | 3.5 pounds | | Item model number | 4317894 | | Manufacturer | BBP Bags | | Package Dimensions | 17.5 x 13.7 x 4.9 inches | ## Images ![BBP Hamptons Hybrid Messenger/Backpack Laptop Bag Obsidian Black Small - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41edMOzuQbL.jpg) ![BBP Hamptons Hybrid Messenger/Backpack Laptop Bag Obsidian Black Small - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31uzMXS2oOL.jpg) ![BBP Hamptons Hybrid Messenger/Backpack Laptop Bag Obsidian Black Small - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/312FMfXxVJL.jpg) ![BBP Hamptons Hybrid Messenger/Backpack Laptop Bag Obsidian Black Small - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31-0jOxXpZL.jpg) ![BBP Hamptons Hybrid Messenger/Backpack Laptop Bag Obsidian Black Small - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ZhFHB8SPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good idea, but not sure if it really works *by S***L on September 26, 2012* I used this bag for 30 days before I ultimately returned it to Amazon.

My first lasted about 7 or 8 years before the main zipper failed. I love the bag. Even had a couple co-workers buy it because they liked it so much. This new one is a small which works better with my smaller (12.5") laptop. Also easier to manage in close quarters like an airplane aisle. The new straps are stiffer than the old design which makes it harder to put on though they might relax in time. The new clasps on the main compartment are more difficult to open and close than the previous design but overall still the best product on the market in my opinion. ### ⭐⭐ Don't buy it for the long haul *by D***Y on December 7, 2011* I bought one of these bags in 2007, and have a lot of positive things to say about the design. I really like the lack of any velcro, the bright orange lining makes it easy to find things in the main pocket, the laptop compartment is great, and the design of the pockets and straps is very intelligent. I have been extremely happy with how much I'm able to fit and with how easy it is to organize everything. At the time I got it I thought the whole "switch between messenger bag and backpack" feature was a big gimmick, but it turned out to be pretty useful for me. I live in Chicago, and although during the summer I always wear it as a backpack, during the winter you've usually got so many layers on when you go outside that getting your arms through two backpack straps is kind of a pain, so I switch to the messenger-bag style. So, why not more stars? This bag did not last. After about two years, the zipper on the laptop compartment was beginning to separate from the seams. Shortly after this, the upper stitching on the interior began to separate, and after less than three years the laptop compartment zipper was no longer usable at all. I was surprised at this short lifetime; I used the bag regularly, but was hardly putting it under a lot of stress. The typical day was carrying my laptop and a book from home to the office and back. But even more surprisingly, although I contacted them about these issues twice BBP refused to replace or repair the bag, in spite of their guarantee. Bags may not last forever, but the $50 LL Bean backpack I got in high school has lasted over a decade under much heavier use than BBP's bag. So although its design is very appealing, I would not recommend buying this bag due to the lack of durability and my experience with the company. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/2116436-bbp-hamptons-hybrid-messenger-backpack-laptop-bag-obsidian-black-small](https://www.desertcart.it/products/2116436-bbp-hamptons-hybrid-messenger-backpack-laptop-bag-obsidian-black-small) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
