FAQs
IS This Available to the Public?
Not yet! The ISM Backpack 2.0 is only available to a limited group of people and by referral only. It isn't accessible via our website navigation because of the small quantities that we have available. We'll open the 2.0 Backpack up to the public in the coming months.
As a benefit of being a pre-order customer and to show our appreciation for your support, we're offering the 2.0 Backpack at $25 off the regular price.
WHEN WILL MY BAG ARRIVE?
We plan to deliver the bags in early/mid July. They're currently on a boat crossing the Pacific Ocean and are scheduled to arrive at our warehouse at the end of June.
We'll ship them out as soon as they arrive and will keep you updated with the shipping status and any changes that might occur.
WHAT'S NEW WITH THE BACKPACK 2.0?
We listened to your feedback about how we can make the ISM Backpack even better and incorporated those ideas into the Backpack 2.0. New features include a leather luggage passthrough, additional interior pockets for your water bottle, and a keychain ring.
We also improved the materials and construction of the bag with small details that oftentimes go unnoticed. For us, the details matter.
What's The Difference Between The Bag & The Bundle?
The Bundle 2.0 includes the ISM Backpack 2.0 along with our essential accessories including The Battery, The Bottle, and the new Keychain. Both The Battery and The Keychain can be customized to include your own gold embossed monogram.
You'll also be a part of our design process for The Keychain and get to provide ideas and feedback for the final Keychain design selection.
While this will retail for $370, you can save $95 by pre-ordering The Bundle today.
WILL OTHER SIZES AND COLORS BE AVAILABLE?
The new ISM Backpack 2.0 is now available in the Large Size with Gold Accents. Because of limited quantities, we are only able to offer the bags on a first come, first serve basis and expect to sell out.
A smaller size and additional accent colors will be available in the coming weeks and months. Email us at carry@ismbags.com if you're interested and we'll update you on the details!
WHY HAS THE PRICE INCREASED?
Adding new features (like the leather luggage strap) comes with a higher cost to make the bag. Instead of cutting costs, we focused on creating the highest quality product without compromise. We stand by our belief that you're getting a better bag than you paid for — quality at half the price of comparable brands like TUMI and Armani.
WHERE ARE THE BAGS MADE?
The bags are made at the same factory as brands like TUMI, Longchamp, and Armani. We source the highest quality materials and spend time obsessing over the details so that we can provide you with a better bag than you paid for.
We use high quality, full-grain leather made from a reputable tannery in Taiwan. The zippers are from YKK, a Japanese manufacturer known for quality zippers that last a lifetime. Both the Nylon exterior and interior polyester twill are sourced from a supplier in Taiwan. We added a water-proof layer of coating to all of our materials so that you don’t have to worry about moving around in a drizzle.

We use high quality, full grain-leather made from a reputable tannery in Taiwan. The zippers are from YKK, a Japanese manufacturer known for quality zippers that last a lifetime. Both the Nylon exterior and interior polyester twill are sourced from a supplier in Taiwan. We added a water-proof layer of coating to all of our materials so that you don’t have to worry about moving around in a drizzle.
Because we use full grain leather, no two bags are made the same way. This means there might be slight variations in the way your bag looks from the ones we use in the photos. But, we guarantee the same level of quality and craftsmanship for all of our products.
Our leather bags cost the same to make as brands that sell them for 3-4 times the price of ours. Since we sell directly to you, there's no added markup that you normally pay for brands that sell in retail stores.
The Classic Backpack can fit up to a 16” Macbook Pro in the laptop compartment while The Smaller Backpack can fit up to a 13.5" laptop. The inside compartment holds around 17L of volume, which we’ve found can store a pair of shoes, clothes, and the smaller items you’d carry every day. The front pocket is great for those small items that you need quick access to, like gum, subway cards, and everything in between.
Try our Bag Fit Finder to see which bag fits you the best.
The bags are assembled by a manufacturer in Shenzhen that also makes bags for the largest luxury brands. It took us a long time to convince this manufacturer to work with us (we’re by far their smallest customer at the moment), but we’re really excited about their attention to detail and the quality of products they make.
Our products are made to last. But to make sure it looks as good as new for a long time, we recommend wetting a cloth in warm water and gently wiping the surface of the leather every month or so or to remove any stains or scratches.
If you’re not actively using the bag, it’s best to store it in the dustbag we provide or in a cool location, away from sunlight.
