Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service!

When a part of the backpack I bought accidentally snapped off, I was offered a new one and guided through the next steps to select the right bag for me.

Shoutout to Daphney for being so lovely, helpful and quick at communicating!

Zip Broke - New Bag sent

I had my Stubble 15L roll top for 18 months before the zip on the laptop compartment broke. I will admit the bag was well used over those 18 months, using it for university, work and weekends away.

I looked at getting the bag repaired through the company, and I was offered a new bag as the repair was too complicated. I am delighted with this outcome, although I note from reading other reviews, other customers have had problems with the zips on these bags.

Excellent customer service which I cannot fault. I do really like the bag and will be more careful with how much stuff I cram into it.

I have only had the best experience with Stubble & Co. I have now bought 4 bags from them and highly recommend them. They look great, are super comfy to carry, and, most importantly, are absolutely waterproof.

Back pack broke after 6 months of very light use. And they refused refunding. Very disappointed. Order number SC17277205. Somehow it is now ok to sell failed goods.

Zip Issues!

Like what this brand has been trying to do. But my backpack laptop zip has completely broken as well as the inside lining. (only had it for 2 years). I also have one of their large duffle bags, but after 3 times using it, the zip has also gone. Really want to love the product, but it feels like the zips aren't good quality :(

So close but so disappointing

So close, but so disappointing.

I purchased several bags from them after reading great reviews. including the rolltop 15, a foldable bag and several packing cubes.

But Stubble does what most other premium bag companies do - pick great materials, do great design, and then put a cheap zip on it.... :(

I was replacing another costly bag from a different company that I had to hold with both hands while travellng back from asia because the zip broke during security. My laptop inside would just fall out if I didn't hold it together. I was hoping this would be the one to fix it.

I have redoxx bags from the US as my main bags, and in 10 years they never let me down. There is nothing and nobody that can break those zips! I love redoxx, but they don't make lightweight bags like Stubble & Co do.
I can tell these flimsy cheap zips will break - as others have already confirmed now I looked harder at some reviews, so I won't even bother to use them. I'll pack it up and send everything back. Such a shame, because I liked the design so much. Seriously folks, how much extra would a YKK zip cost?

Hi Nick,
Thank you for your feedback, and I’m really sorry to hear how disappointed you feel.

We completely understand how important reliable zips are, especially when you’re carrying valuable items like a laptop. For context, we previously used YKK zips across our range, but after seeing a higher-than-expected failure rate in certain applications, we carried out further testing and made the decision to switch to Coats zips. This change was made specifically to improve long-term durability and provide the best possible quality for our customers.

That said, we appreciate that confidence in the product is key. I can see you’ve already been in touch regarding a return, and our team is here to help make the process as smooth as possible.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts, and please let me know if you have any questions.

Gorgeous bag, and fabulous customer service

I bought a bag for my husband for Christmas, and when it was "tried on" on Christmas day, it wasn't quite the right size, however he loved the brand.
Going through customer service to get the bag exchanged was an absolute dream, the service was impeccable and I was given excellent advice for the replacement, and Daphney was a star, with prompt helpful information and the new bag was received and adored! He uses it every day and has given it a glowing review!
The bag itself is well made, and sturdy with lovely little details.

Brilliant service, amazing quality

I ordered the 30L backpack and when it arrived I realised I needed the 40L. I sent it back the same day and ordered the 40L. It was delivered within 24 hours and my return was accepted. Brilliant professional service. The 40L bag is incredibly high quality and looks like a much more expensive bag than it is. The configuration and pockets are excellent and the fit is extremely comfortable. This will be my hand luggage for all my trips and can hold up to 2 weeks clothes.

I have only just started using the bag I ordered so I can’t comment on durability yet. Aesthetically the bag is brilliant.
Customer service wise, the team are fantastic. Quick to respond and customer focused! Would use them again purely on this experience.
