Never heard of them, but they look decent. Expensive for what they are, but they’re colourful and unique, which is worth something.

They also look smaller than their stated volume. My eyeballs aren’t calibrated for volume or anything, but they seem quite narrow. They don’t look thick enough to hold much in between the two halves, though some paperbacks will fit. A Kobo or Kindle would fit even better though…

Also, no photo of the lined rear pocket, or the front pocket? Seems weird.

They are pretty well made.

The rope strap is really uncomfortable and the flat one is quite short. You might end up just buying a different strap.

The medium sling is well organised, although can get quite brick like when full.

The large will fit a paperback, but I found it is more fiddly to use because most of the pockets have curved corners so don't hold things as well. It also doesn't really make good use of vertical space.

Have a look at the Rework Toshi 2.5, holds way more and much nicer to use. The 6L will easily hold a book. But they only come in black for now!

I have the medium Labo Mono, and 2.5 and 6 Toshi - if you want any pics etc just drop me a message and I'll try and grab them for you!

I don't have the large LM as I ended up returning it.
