Ask the Strategist: The Best Adult Backpack, Jessa's Lipstick

Address: Hello Strategist, do you have recommendations for a knapsack that could fit all my work poop (portable workstation, exercise garments, lunch from home) that I can carry with me out after work on the off chance that I need and it's not revolting and won't make me feel like a geek? I would burn through $150 most extreme if it's ideal, however might want nearer to amongst $60 and $100 on the grounds that it's something I would utilize each day. This has been a gigantic battle for me and I've surveyed like 30 individuals and no one has a clever response.

How about we begin by thumping out the self-evident: everybody has the Fjallraven Kanken and everybody has a Herschel and everybody additionally has the Everlane, however we would prefer not to look like everybody.

I connected with Olivia Wolfe from American Two Shot, my most loved store to discover cool new brands that I don't see anyplace else: "My recommendation is search for something that is cowhide or fake calfskin instead of a vinyl or canvas sack since they're extremely chic and more translatable from day to night, so you don't need to appear to supper seeming as though you're prepared for a sleepover slice climb cut secondary school math class." Then she got handy, "Some of my best finds have been from Etsy utilizing seeks like 'vintage cowhide knapsack.' Sometimes you can discover something incredible for $15 and afterward perhaps spend another $50 repairing it if need be, however you wind up with a truly extraordinary piece that you won't see on 40 other individuals on the L prepare." Using that strategy I filtered Etsy and discovered one that could utilize a touch of repair, another exceptionally grunge look, and one final one that is making me truly into tan calfskin and appears to have a zillion compartments for every one of your snacks.

Next, the Cut's senior advertising editorial manager Diana Tsui drove us to ASOS where I discovered some truly reasonable adult looking bangers like this basic false calfskin with a fold and drawstring that is still truly sizable and a correspondingly direct canvas choice that I'm into, however may be excessively square shaped.

On the off chance that we set out pause for a minute to dream of a higher value point — in light of the fact that the backwards can be stated that in case you're wearing it consistently it may be justified regardless of the spend too much — I claim a Building Block sack that is certainly the most complimented thing in my closet. It's endured me four years up until now, despite the fact that I wear it consistently, it's as yet getting compliments regardless it looks incredible. They make an extremely proficient looking calfskin rucksack cut attaché with bends so delicate that I need to simply lick them. I think in the event that I could get any knapsack on the planet, however, I may run with this Yohji Yamamoto Japanese slouchy wrap number and keeping in mind that we're #fashioning Vetements as of late collaborated with Eastpack, so perhaps seeming as though you've originated from a secondary school math class is in vogue once more.

Be that as it may, after that profound jump into the universe of two straps, my most noteworthy proposal goes to Baggu's drawstring knapsack. Following quite a while of a zipper, the drawstring demonstrates that you've moved past conveying covers and scratch pad. This current one's sufficiently enormous to hold a portable workstation (there's even a different compartment for that) in addition to stockings in addition to Tupperware in addition to a water bottle, while it's as yet not all that huge that it would appear that you're making arrangements for a climb (an issue I find with the Everlane Snap sack, which is more suited for men). Yes, it's a more easygoing canvas, however the more slender straps make it appear to be less "I'm originating from class" rucksack y and the sky is the limit from there "I have a vocation amid the day, yet this is useful for my back and furthermore advantageous" knapsack. Furthermore, as though you even required any more motivation to crush that purchase catch, it's just $42. Get it in this light olive green (my top pick), in millennial pink (on pattern), with blue stripes (extremely nautical), it's still under $150.
