A backpack cut in the house's signature Cannage quilting, with padded diamonds worked across the front, back and full-depth sides. The polished hardware stays neat against the pattern, and the panels are firm enough that the bag keeps its shape rather than slumping between your shoulders.
At 23 x 26.7 x 12.5 cm it is a real carrying bag. A tablet, a wallet, a bottle, a make-up pouch, keys and a folded jacket fit together, and the 12.5 cm depth means things stack upright instead of pressing flat against your back.
The straps take the weight evenly, which is the whole reason to choose a backpack over a shoulder bag on a long day. Commutes, travel days, campus and city walking all suit it, and the quilting keeps it looking dressed rather than sporty with a coat or denim.
