Every now and then there comes a style trend that becomes an instant hit, not just for its looks but easy functionality too. Really, who doesn't love a backpack? You can dump in all that you want and carry it handsfree too! Backpacks have always been a favourite type of bag because of the convenience it offers, but when it comes to making a chic style statement, the bulky designs often make it take a backseat.
