The new face of backpacks

Week In Review ~ 19 April

Wouldn’t it be great if one bag could serve all your day-to-day needs from work to play? Maybe you have a work bag that just looks too formal for leisure use or alternatively perhaps your favorite casual bag just won’t cut it in the office… Well a design duo have offered their solution to this tricky carry problem – the Chivote 2Face backpack. The pack features a formal look on one side and a more casual look on the other side, with straps that are easy to switch so you can alternate between both faces of the pack. Keen to find out more? You can do just that courtesy of the current Kickstarter campaign for the 2Face backpack.

Functionality meets fashion

The collection incorporates a messenger bag and tablet sleeve constructed out of French vegetable-tanned leather and Australian wool felt. The messenger bag can hold up to a 13-inch laptop and converts to a sleeve by removing the strap, while the tablet sleeve holds up to a 10-inch tablet. The collection is also currently available via a Kickstarter campaign which provides further insight into the inspiration behind the pieces.

The carry pieces incorporate a computerized power supply to give USB gadgets juice wherever you are, as well as wireless mobile storage so you can access files via your mobile devices without needing the Internet. The brand is still in the development stage, with a Kickstarter campaign planned to launch in May, but anyone who is keen to get hold of the packs at a discounted price can sign up to a waiting list in order to take advantage of the Kickstarter campaign’s early adopter pricing.
