Backpacks are the reminding image of either hikers or tourists - neither of them particularly flattering. But the backpack is making a comeback as a fashion statement and as a comfy convenience.
Many people have taken advantage of this - there is a well known saying that "fashion is pain" , not in this case.
One amazing designer of this blast from the past is Caleb Pederson - the splendid and very talented head designer of Chapel Backpacks. These 'packs are very retro - proper leather straps, brilliant colours and more compartments than a spaceship. Despite the dollar-sign price on their website these spectacular goodies are proudly South African! They support local industries and do what they can to avoid waste of materials. Definitely authentic, South African style ready for the world to see.
(These design pictures are just a few of many. Most 'packs are made as once off's or in small batches. Like I said, this bunch doesn't waste.)
