Fun & Functional: Our top 20 fashionable backpacks
updated the 6 October 2015 à 23:07Backpacks are longer reserved for young school kids, especially when they’ve evolved into stylish ones. What more can you ask from these comfy, chic and functional knapsacks?
Sometimes backpacks remind us too much of the juvenile school days and the unpleasant image of ourselves lugging around robust, heavy textbooks. Moreover, even the young lil fashionista in us knew they’re not the most stylish type of bag there is.
But now that we’ve come of age, we know better than to sacrifice convenience and functionality for style, or vice versa. In our gallery, you’ll find a collection of 20 backpacks that are far from a faux pas. In fact, they’re rather trendy and designers like Alexander Wang and Fendi concur, seeing how they littered a slew of knapsacks on their runways.
Givenchy, Moschino, MCM, Versace and Valentino opted for the classic design with two zippered main compartments, while Manish Arora and Marni adapted the bucket bag model onto their striking backpacks.
Head over to the slideshow above to see how we’ve come a long way from uninspiring, shirt-crinkling primary school bags, to chic ones that’ll make your outfit.
