It's been a fair few years since I've needed a backpack, and I must admit, I kind of miss those days. There was something comforting about being able to jam your bag with bits and bobs, uni textbooks, lunch, mags and whatever else took your fancy, but then sling it on your shoulders and the weight could hardly be felt.
Nowadays, I'm usually struggling to close the zipper on my handbag for all the junk I still like to tote (magazines aren't the best shape or size for my rather large Michael Kors bag, I've discovered) so when I came across this C'N'C Costume National backpack, my first thought was: "problem solved".
I think there's something nice about taking a break from your shoulder bag, especially if it's replaced with something chic like this. Whether it's for uni, school, work or weekends, I can imagine your shoulders will be crying out "thank you, thank you, thank you". It's on sale currently at Yoox for £62 (down from £155).
