Backpacks have hit the big time.

Of course, for some they’ve always been popular (namely school children and adventurous types) but fashion has never looked fondly upon this little utilitarian number… until now.

After recent backpack sighting at Chanel, Stella McCartney, Alexander Wang, Proenza Schouler, The Row and Marni (to name but a few), stylish sorts have been swapping out their shoulder bags and totes – with the most sought-after being the more sophisticated black leather styles.
