Men's and women's backpacks: Eastpak, Got Bag and Sandqvist

Backpacks Eastpak: Padded Pak'r, Day Pak'r and Day Office

The Padded Pak'r, Eastpak's iconic bag, leads the selection alongside the Day Pak'r, Day Office, Morius, and Up Roll. They are worn at school, university, or work, in solid colours or prints: the backpack Eastpak lasts for years.

Backpack rolltop: Got Bag and Sandqvist

The Got Bag Rolltop 2.0, from the German brand in Mainz, is made from recycled plastic from the sea; the Sandqvist Icon Rolltop, from the Swedish brand, also closes with a flap that rolls down. The rolltop backpack expands based on what you put in it.

Backpack for laptops: Sandqvist, Gaston Luga, and Eastpak

The laptop backpack Sandqvist Icon, the Gaston Luga Spläsh 2.0 from the Swedish brand in Stockholm, and the laptop bag Eastpak Volker Pro keep the laptop in a separate compartment. The laptop backpack is chosen based on the screen size, indicated in inches on the spec sheet.

Backpack for women: Desigual, Hindbag, and Doughnut

For women, the Desigual backpacks, with their patterns and metallic finishes, the Hindbag Eliot backpack from the French brand in Paris, and Doughnut Macaroon bags are great for the city. The women's backpack for the city is chosen to be lightweight, with an inner pocket for small items.

Sports and supporter backpacks: Nike, New Era, and travelite

The Nike Elemental and Heritage backpacks, the New Era backpack in New York Yankees colours, and the travelite Briize are ideal for sports, at the stadium, or a day out in the city. The sports backpack keeps your training gear separate from everything else.

How to choose a backpack

The volume is measured in litres: a small city bag is enough for everyday use, a larger bag for sports or a weekend away. Padded and adjustable straps distribute the weight, a pocket against your back keeps your wallet safe, and an airy back panel reduces sweating. The travel backpack opens wide, like a suitcase.

Backpacks, bags, and suitcases: the whole selection

The bags also include shoulder bags, bum bags, and travel bags, and the suitcases take over for longer stays. The weekend backpack saves you from bringing a suitcase for just two days.

Colours and materials of the backpack

Black, navy blue, and grey go with everything and age well; brighter colours and prints stand out more. Nylon fabric is lightweight and easy to clean, coated polyester resists rain, and leather develops character over time. A black backpack can be worn to the office just as easily as on the weekend.

City backpack, leather backpack, and black backpack

The city backpack, flat and understated, can be worn with a coat or a suit jacket to work. The leather backpack, for men or women, ages beautifully. The black backpack goes anywhere, to the office, university, or while travelling. For a woman, a chic backpack, in leather or coated fabric, can replace a handbag.

Cheap backpacks: special offers, sales, and Black Friday

The cheap backpack can be found in the special offers and sales, and the new arrivals show the season's models. At the end of November, the Black Friday accessories cuts prices on Eastpak and Got Bag backpacks. Fast shipping and best price guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions about backpacks

What size bag for a laptop?

Check the screen size indicated in inches: a bag designed for 16 inches generally fits a 15-inch or 16-inch laptop. A padded compartment protects the screen from impacts: the 14-inch bag is suitable for more compact laptops.

How to wash a backpack?

Empty it, brush off the dust, then wash it by hand with warm soapy water. Air dry it, open, away from a radiator, and always follow the label: a canvas bag handles water better than a leather bag.

What backpack for school or university?

A medium-sized bag, with a compartment for the laptop or folders and padded straps, like the Eastpak models. The school backpack should be sturdy and easy to carry on one or both shoulders.

What volume for a weekend bag?

A bag big enough for two outfits, a toiletry bag, and a pair of shoes is sufficient for a weekend. A roll-top bag adjusts to the load: the rolltop bag expands as needed.

Is a backpack allowed in the cabin?

Yes, as cabin baggage or as an accessory, depending on the dimensions set by each airline. Check them before you go: a small backpack often fits under the front seat.
