WHAT YOU CAN PACK IN IT:

The TEARDROP is a lightweight, minimalist everyday bag designed for fast grab-and-go carry when a full-sized backpack is too bulky. Measuring 14" H x 11" W x 4" D, its single main compartment features a wide-opening front and heavy-duty double-pull YKK zippers, allowing you to drop in and quickly access daily essentials.

Depending on how you use it, here is a guide to what fits inside:

💡 Pro-Packing & Usage Tips:

1. Unzip Wide for Full View: The front panel zips down wide, making it easy to lay flat-ish to see and retrieve items at the very bottom without digging around.

2. Double-Pull Zipper Security: Keep the double zipper pulls at the top center for quick access, or pull them to one side to grab gear while swinging the bag around your shoulder.

3. Keep Flat Items Against the Back: Place tablets, notebooks, or hardback books against the back panel first to create a flat, comfortable surface against your back
