Bellroy is one of the backpack companies that are famous for their quirky and urban designs, and, of course, their cool leather accents. Who would forget their signature leather tabs?!
The Tokyo Work Bag, one of Bellroy's signature messengers, has an impressive amount of organization and is made with recycled fabrics. What we love about this messenger bag is that it has a different colored fabric inside that makes it easier to search for any gear.
Another awesome thing about the Bellroy Tokyo Work bag is that it has 2 pockets in front for quick access to your work essentials. It also has comfortable shoulder straps so packing this full wouldn't be a problem. Well unless you'll carry bricks with it (which we don't recommend LOL).

messenger bags are next best option to backpacks. This Tokyo Work bag has a nice exterior look. Pros and cons in this review are always a deal breaker. keep the content coming Aaron.
I’m still a backpack guy personally, but this is a great option for a practical and stylish messenger
Great review!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video Aaron! I got my bag a few months ago, I actually went to Tokyo with it 😂 and it’s a fantastic bag. The water bottle holder is just awesome, and you can keep it completely covered if the bottle is not very big. The bag distills quality and is very comfortable to take around and in planes, it fits perfectly underneath the seats or beside you, very good bag, love it!
so glad to hear you like it!!
Thank you so much for the review! I teciently bought a a Modern Dayfarier Backpack thanks to the review that you made ;). I am looking for a messenger too, so looking forward to see a video about Bellroy System Messenger :).
Glad to help! We don’t have any immediate plans to review the BSM but hopefully we can get one soon!
Another great review Aaron, acutally I've seen the video in the past, but did not comment then, but right now as I purchased Bellroy system messenger bag, which is quite sililar to Tokyo work bag I decided to give my toughts. I must say I dig it more system messenger bag because of used magnets for opening/closing main compartment. Inside/outside not lot of a difference, maybe beside luggage pass through solution. I dig more and more Bellroy products, even more then other backpacks/bags made out of x-pac material.
Can't wait to see final version of your backpack!
thanks dude!
Really nice review!! thank you... I'm really thinking to buy one of this, just little worried about internal space
It's a bit tighter than advertised, but should be enough space for an EDC. Hopefully us packing the bag out helped!
Thanks for this review. I ordered the bag after watching (used your link). Super helpful and great video.
So appreciated - thanks dude!
Wow, that actually looks like a lovely bag! Pity that messengers (I've had a few) just hurt my back after a while, despite being 5'8" only. They do look stylish and especially this one.
Thanks, Aaron, for using the millilitres! You really do listen to fans!
Cheers, Chris
Haha I added that one just for you! And will do in all future vids - great suggestion
@@Nomads.Nation you rock, man! :D :D :D
@@justbrowsing81 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Great presentation 👏🏾👏🏾 and cute too
Thank you!
Just bought one 👍🏾 thank you.
Glad to help!
Love your content and your outgoing presentation. Which would you prefer? This or the system messenger bag? I feel the bellroy system messenger bag gives a wider access and I also dig the look. However I feel they are winding down that product line.
Thanks dude! I haven't reviewed the System Messenger so I can't say for sure. All I will say is you can't really ever go wrong with Bellroy 💪
You had me at luggage pass through strap and I like the blue color that they offer.
agreed - blue color looks awesome
I have this bag, using it for several months now. It's great but my only gripe is that the shoulder straps should've been wider like the one that they used with the system work pack. It bugs me that when the pack is full, the strap digs onto your chest since the strap is not so wide. When you use it as side carry, the strap falls off your shoulder since the strap is not wide and the padding has no grip.
Great feedback Pablo - much appreciated!
Hi, I'm wondering if the two small webbing straps are still doing well? I just received mine today and the stitches are already torn off.
Would you know if a gaming laptop (specifically Lenovo Legion 5 Pro) would fit well in here? And how's the carrying experience with a heavy load?
Carrying comfort is basically as good as it gets for a messenger. I’d reach out to Bellroy and ask about your laptop specifications. Please let us know what they say 🙏🏽
Would love to see a comparison beteen this and their system messenger bag!
Great suggestion! I've added to our to-do list
Nice review, is it possible to put a 13inch mbpro and a pair of shoes? Thx
Thanks! I don’t know for sure as I don’t have it with me, but I think so. Ask Bellroy customer support - they’ll get you sorted
Bellroy makes handsome and high quality bags for sure, but they tend to overstate their liter capacity. I have the 30l travel workpack it isn’t 30l, fits way less than my patagonia blackhole 26l.
Nonetheless still a great bag
I’m gonna start measuring the bag’s volume in my reviews soon
Hello , I’m ordering the bag this week. It s functional plus good reviews. This is a side question Also I’m interested the name
Brand of your r-shirt will you be willing to share it? It will be much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
cutsclothing.com - the only place I get shirts from
Can a yeti rambler water bottle fit in the drink holder section? Alternatively, what water bottle is used in the video (I can google the specs/diameter to get an idea)? Thanks
I don't have a Yeti Rambler so I can't say for sure. The water bottle used in this video is out of stock (we've since started using more popular water bottles for our reviews) but I just measured it for you - it's 3 inches wide and 8 inches tall. Hope that helps!
Thanks, that’s super helpful. I have the 18oz rambler, which measures 3” wide and 10” high… same width as your bottle so should go in comfortably; however, the height may be an issue. I guess it could stick out partially.
Cheers, great video by the way… I keep coming back to this review! It’s been helpful to watch and re-watch.
@@SebastianFlox-xv5ox glad to hear! If you end up getting the bag we’d love to hear your thoughts after testing for a few weeks
@@SebastianFlox-xv5oxdid the 18oz rambler end up sticking out of the bag?
@@user-kt6be8np9g hey mate,
I didn’t end up buying it because I didn’t want to risk it… Currently using an old crumpled satchel for work. Let me know if you find out the answer.
Cheers,
Sj
Can you review the inside line equipment radius
I’ll add it to our to do list!
Would love to see your take on the system work bag
coming soon!
is this weather resistant?
Yes! But not the most weather resistant.
I like it, but the compression on the middle looks ugly
Thanks for your input!
I was happy to buy this bag - and thank you for your excellent review Aaron. But you were a bit too charitable. There is no way on earth that the capacity of this bag is 20 litres. It's too easy for manufacturers to make claims about capacity.
I agree if it's actually 20L, it's a very tight 20L
Imma be real - Idc about spacious water bottle pockets because the only thing I put in them is a can of Monster. 0_0
Love that for you ❤️
But of course....! It's Aussie mate.
🇦🇺!
Man bellroy bags sure are pretty but it's priced 400-500 USD here in the PH lmao
Yeah that’s way too much lol
Where are you browsing them? 🥲
@@zedrikyt browsing them? 🤔
@@Nomads.Nation Yep, I haven't seen any Bellroy official stores nor outlets here in the Philippines. (I live in PH) Unless you are eyeing or buying them from their official website with ridiculous shipping fees. 🥲
@@zedrikyt ahh got it, yea maybe gotta try and get it 2nd hand or freight forwardrd
