Behind the Design: The Backpack Edit

Lest we forget about our trusty accessories, and the essential bags we couldn't do without.

For the amount of use it gets, the backpack is probably the most loyal and relied upon piece of kit in your wardrobe. So if you're in need of fresh feels when it comes to your carry-on, you're in the right place.

Here's the very stylish proof from the designer himself...

THE LIFE BACKPACK

FABRIC: 100% PVCLength: 40cm | Height: 65cm | Width: 15cm |Literage: 35L approx

"A personal favourite of mine," Accessory Designer Jordan Molesworth admits. "Minimalist but functional, the Life Backpack is Scandinavian inspired."

"It has an all-over matte polyester-coated finish to keep the user cool, dry and looking sophisticated during their morning commute or in the gym changing rooms. 

"It has a sleek roll down three-way buckle fastening and an internal Velcro closure so that anything you do decide to take with you, is safe."

The Life Backpack's internal compartment is built with one main entryway and features a padded internal laptop sleeve and additional zipped organiser, making it ideal for school also. Its two external side pockets provide space for other accessories, such as water bottles or lifting straps.

THE NEOPRENE LIFESTYLE BACKPACK

FABRIC: 90% Polyester, 10% PVC

Length: 25cm | Height: 38cm | Width: 14cm  | Literage: 14L approx.

Perfect for travelling light, the Neoprene Lifestyle Backpack is compact and practical. Suitable for any on-the-go travels, it offers more room than you might expect. 

"It's designed to have a dynamic silhouette, creating cool sharp angles to suit any outfit. Its crossover pocket detailing creates two mesh roomy compartments, nylon ribbed with additional side pockets to keep essentials at your fingertips."

Its main compartment is elegantly contrasted with silver coiled zips and branded pullers, with an internal zipped pocket that easily houses a small-sized laptop.

Complete with discreet zipped back pocket and reinforced waterproof base.

THE STATEMENT BACKPACK

FABRIC: 90% POLYESTER, 10% PVC.

Length: 42cm| Height: 65cm | Width: 24cm | Literage: 65L approx.

"Heavily influenced again by Scandinavian minimalism," Jordan tells us. "The bag itself is deceivingly big inside; think Mary Poppins. When rolled out the backpack holds an approximate 65 litres, making it easier for the user to throw in essentials and more when on the go."

Fully functional as a roll-top backpack, the Statement Backpack features a buckle clip fastening for crisp closure. "The roll-top is multi-functional and works as a grab handle," he explains.

"Built from matte coated-polyester, the fabric is waterproof and can be worn in all conditions. Whether that's on a run in the cold winter months secured with the branded chest harness, or on the way to work or university.

Its matte finish is complimented by a fully waterproof reinforced base panel with the damp changing room flooring in mind."

Complete with the new Gymshark embroidered air mesh panel for enhanced breathability and comfort. 

All backpacks are multi-use and unisex.
