Black Embers backpack straps fold into the back wall of the bag so fully turn into a side held brief case that looks the part. It's pretty common on a lot of their business oriented backpacks - including their top briefcase "Forge". A few other companies do this too... I think the generic term for this is "convertible backpack" or "convertible briefcase". Variations of a similar thing of having a backpack, where the arm straps tuck in or hide away and then you can grip it from the side like a briefcase too.
Black Ember is comparable to brands like Aer, very similar level of quality.
If you envision being with her long-term, then skip it. I dunno about your finances, but there's a responsibility to your partner to keep spending like this in check. You've already bought two other expensive (to me anyways) backpacks. Do you really need a third? Else, get rid of one of the others. If you're financially responsible and your girl buys a new pair of shoes/bag/xyz every other month (or more??), then have at it. Eventually, you start running out of space to keep all the stuff you buy. I used to buy stuff all the time too. In the end, I realized most of that stuff I didn't really use that much or could have done without.
Right before tactical.. duh

Nice find OP. That makes this a good price. I think the only repeated concern is it can be a lint magnet. If I didn't have a Victorinox bag I already loved, I'd be all over this deal. Reps.

Oh wow this bag was one of three I was looking at a year back while on the market for a new bag (ended up getting an Osprey) At this price I'm definitely grabbing it now, thanks OP!

Wondering if they will be releasing a new version or phasing this out due to the recent Citadel release...
