The backpack is no longer just for toting around textbooks this fall. The grade school staple has become the most necessary accessory and has graduated into chic, grown-up versions with collections from Costume National, Rag & Bone and Chanel. We have rounded up 12 of our favourite carry-alls to pack this fall…
1. Costume National
We’ve already briefed you that the bucket bag is one of the hottest purse styles out there, but now that designers are introducing backpacks into the mix, why not combine the two? We love Costume National’s black leather cross-body bucket backpack.
2. Milly
This petite leather backpack manages to fit everything you could possibly need with extra large wraparound zippers, polished bolt hardware and an easy access pocket to hold your smartphone and keys.
3. Rag & Bone
Rag & Bone’s Grayson backpack is 100% leather featuring a drawcord for the main opening and front panel flap with a collar stud enclosure.
4. Lancaster Paris
This sleek, minimalistic silhouette went bold with a striking shade of monarch orange.
5. Sass and Bide
The fashion world is mad for plaid this year. Designers have even graded the trend into accessories this fall.
6. Loeffler Randall
We love Loeffler Randall’s take on the backpack featuring neutral hues, dyed shearling and leather, a flap front and a push-lock closure.
7. Topshop
This classic carry-all is available in fall’s favourite chalky hues.
8. BOYY
Boyy took a fashion forward, luxurious rendition of the napsack with zebra stripes and arrow-tipped leather drawstrings.
9. Tommy Hilfiger
Another one of our favourite plaid backpacks this fall is Tommy Hilfiger’s navy tartan version. The block colours and suede, leather and wool combinations create a remarkable contrast.
10. Tumi
Clean lines, oodles of storage, and various fabrics and features in natural hues. What more could we ask for in a bag?
11. Whistles
This crisp, clean and cool carry-all is just about the only thing that will get us piqued for the winter months.
12. Chanel
Celebrities such as Khloe Kardashian, Kristen Stewart and Diane Kruger are fanatic about their Chanel graffiti backpacks.
