A backpack for the road does not mean one for hiking or as a utility piece but rather one that you can wear to work or even a fashion show. Obviously each occasion deserves a special one and we have picked some of the hottest trends out there for those of you who like to make an effort. Whether it is your gym bag or one you are wearing to an artsy event in town, make sure it is an extension of your personality regardless of the brand or make. It is really important to make sure you are not trying to be something you're not. Accessorizing and making fashion statements are about who you are what you like to represent. We have listed our choices of the coolest pieces out there but while selecting your next purchase, ensure it resonates with you and your fashion sense.
