Utilitarian Fashion: 4 Designer Backpacks You Can Carry Everyday

Changing the way people view backpacks—from new shapes to luxurious materials, these bags didn’t sacrifice functionality and style.

Backpacks are often worn by students who are in high school or elementary—never by a stylish person. Moreover, due to recent style paradigm changes, backpacks have become an integral part of luxury brands’ brand bag catalogs. 

Each designer has their take on revolutionizing the classic style. Furthermore, these fashion brands incorporated house codes and the latest trends to create an upscale and fashion-forward backpack.
