Getting your
‘Nirvana’ on
In the 90’s, the
late Kurt Cobain’s band Nirvana didn’t just made grunge rock cool but also designer backpacks. Though the look
didn’t stick and wasn’t the most fabulous during that era, its added accent to
bags has caught on even until now. Nowadays, not just students are sporting slouchy
hanging bags on their backs and shoulders or one shouldered styles- even those who
like this classic item.
Their many names: Knapsack, rucksack and packsack
It may have been
known for many names but its ergonomic design and purpose never varies. It’s a
bag carried on one’s back and secured with two straps (others, only one) that
will go over the shoulders. They are commonly used to carry heavy loads instead
of holding it with your hands.
What to look for when buying one
This not just a
useful item to carry but can be an amazing accessory (just don’t let it clash
with your outfit). There are different styles too choose from and varies for
its practical uses. Here is what you should look for:
- Lightweight: For on the go and storing your child or your school books or gym clothes. It could be also a good buddy for travelling light.
- Personality: every Designer Backpacks has a personality of its own. They are able to show off who you are by its design, colour and size.
- Durability: look for something that could endure the internal weight of your everyday items and at the same time get through the beating of everyday commute. Example, if you are someone who carries a laptop every day, you should pick one with padded internal structure.
Always Carry Something
Here are 12 ‘something’ that would simplify your choices and narrow down your list.
- Bright: Crayola coloured ones that reminiscent of kiddie designs during your elementary days.
- Soft: faux leather or sweatshirt fleece material.
- Denim: good for hefting bid textbooks for its durability.
- Neon: if you are going for a vintage style knapsack.
- Multipurpose: there are Designer Backpacks out there that can be turned into 4 bags-from its original design to a sling, shoulder and tote bag.
- Shiny: shiny leather can be a waterproof accessory as the water will slide right off it.

- Rugged: padded inside and shoulder straps will give that sense of a mountaineer even if it’s just a trek to your school or office. But very useful when you are going for a hike over the weekend.
- Luxurious: modern leather Designer Backpacks with sleek gold on the shoulders that you would wear more to impress than for its use.
