Backpack Purses Are Back In Fashion
Filed Under Shopping | Leave a Comment
There is good news for backpack lovers. Backpack purses are back in style. They first became popular in the 1990s, and can be found again on the backs of the most fashionable women. Major labels such as Tommy Hilfiger and Radley both offer the modish backpack handbags. Less expensive versions are available across the internet and at local stores on both sides of the Atlantic.
These bags resemble the larger backpacks used by hikers and schoolchildren. Many of these bags hold more than the average handbag and are easier to tote than bulky, weighty purses with handles. They have a fun, youthful look that spices up many different outfits.
The basic design includes a relatively narrow top with a flap or drawstring closure and a wider base. Since the sturdy straps slip over one or both shoulders, they leave the wearer’s hands free. Some backpack purses also include a handle at the top so they can be carried more like traditional handbags.
For women who lug around a lot of items on a regular basis, these roomy purses are a boon. Most can easily accommodate a list like the following: cell phones, makeup, wallets, cameras, water bottles, brushes, tissues, antibacterial gel, and notebooks. Also called sling purses, these handbags come in a variety of sizes to accommodate whatever a woman needs to carry. If the load will be frequently on the heavy side, be sure to purchase a handbag with extra sturdy straps and a reinforced base.
Materials used in these handy purses vary from leather and canvas to more elegant materials such as satin or suede. Since designs allow for dressier wear as well as casual everyday use, even lace and delicate looking fabrics may be used. You may not find these bags at the most formal of events such as weddings, but at almost every other occasion, expect to see these fashionable and convenient handbags carried by ladies of all ages who have style and good taste.
