Bag great - customer service, not so much The bag is very well designed and made. Unfortunately, it's unsuitable for me. I need to return it, but there is no return label in the box. I've called Troubadour 4 times now on 4 separate days to try to get a return label, but no-one has got back to me, despite assurances that my request is being treated as 'urgent'. I am only writing this review to try to get someone to PLEASE help me return the bag...! Update: someone finally emailed me this morning, and the bag is now safely on its way back to Troubadour.

Customer service was also a dream to… Customer service was also a dream to work with. - I ran into an issue with the bag I purchased while traveling (not a product quality issue; the quality was excellent) - Customer support was very responsive (<24 hours) - They offered me different options to handle the issue I had and it was satisfactorily resolved in the end

Filtered Product Reviews EDIT: They posted my review after a couple of weeks, which I appreciate, so updating my review based on the customer service. Will follow up with the company to see if there is a way to resolve me issue. Received the Troubadour Ridge Backpack as a gift. I really loved the bag, but the design is very sleek so the bottom of the shoulder straps are quite small (1 inch thick) and soft. This resulted in the straps loosening every time I put on the backpack. I wrote a 3 star review on their website, and they never posted it, even after I verified my email. It seems that they filter their reviews which is quite frustrating because you'll never know the cons of their products and be able to make an informed purchasing decision.

Apex Backpack The Apex Backpack is a great everyday, urban bag. Unfortunately, I had a problem with the main zipper three years after purchase. It was replaced quickly and with little fuss. A great bag and the best backup service and warranty that I have experienced.

Only positives to say Only positives to say The materials are all high quality and durable. I chose this bag initially as it has a "manlier" look than many of the leather options. It is still elegant though and it fits a lot of stuff without complicating the bag with loads of different zippers. I've been using it for a month now for office & travel, absolutely love it!
