Guess who’s Back in Town?
Have a flick through any fashion magazine and you’ll soon notice that the backpack is “back”! It’s hardly surprising these convenient carry-alls are the perfect way to keep your hands free when you’re on the go. For mums, kids, strollers and daily essentials added to the picture makes it even more important to have both arms free. Plus, you won’t need to wonder why only your right shoulder has that dull ache...stand up straight with your backpack and eliminate the one-shoulder strain.
The days of backpacks sacrificing style for practicality are over! Don’t believe us? Ask Alexander Wang, Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs; all of whom included backpacks in their recent collections. But for the 99.9% of us who won’t be toting the latest Louis Vuitton, beware...there is a bit of a trick to getting this trend right! The Dora the Explorer backpack is adorable on your 4 year old, but it certainly doesn’t fit the bill here!
Ditch the daggy pack and opt for an updated version of an old favourite. Look for textured fabrics like canvas or leather in warm and dark colours, or be brave and try a bohemian floral or tribal print, all of which are on the hot list for autumn/winter 2011.
For the mums out there, there is even greater functionality available with your backpack. The Isoki Reversible 3in1 nappy bag doesn’t compromise on style or comfort and as the name suggests it gives you 3 options when carrying; it can be worn as a shoulder bag, across the body or as a backpack. Available in 3 colour choices (each style reverses giving you the option of a pattered or plain look) the Isoki 3in1 contains a storage satchel, insulated cooler bag and padded change mat as removable components for added functionality. There’s no reason to let this trend pass you by, visit www.isoki.com.au/collection/baby-bags/reversible-3-in-1-slouch-bag.htm for more information
