Can a Backpack be Stylish and Practical?

I’ve found the perfect bag for commuting and weekend adventures.

I have always been a bag lover but recently my attention has shifted from handbags to rucksacks and I am always on the hunt for the most aesthetically pleasing yet ‘sensible’ offering on the market. My sister had asked for a Kaft Nordhug backpack for her birthday and when I saw it I fell in love, so as younger sisters nearly always do I copied her and asked for one for my birthday – don’t worry we got different colours, our days of twinning are well and truly over. As far as sustainability and ethicalness there isn’t a lot of information on their website about how it’s made and where, however they are completely vegan and arrived in recyclable packaging, plus the design is timeless so it’s not going to be just a seasonal item.

I went for this gorgeous sulpher coloured one to add a daily colour pop to my outfits and it does go with everything in my wardrobe despite not being a neutral colour. It has five compartments and a laptop sleeve, so is perfect for my day to day commute as well as weekend adventures. The 100% cotton canvas has a water repellent characteristic which means a light shower won’t damage the fabric however it isn’t storm proof but an umbrella can sort that issue easily. The wide straps make it comfortable to wear and also make sure that the weight is evenly distributed on both shoulders. It really is the perfect backpack.

Are you a backpack or a handbag person?
