Depending on what you’re looking for in a backpack, you can do everything from carry an entire day’s worth of groceries with a twelver to an entire day’s worth of remote work essentials, but it’s difficult to do it stylishly. Backpacks are either too big, too colorful or too reminiscent of the bag you carried around in high school. San Francisco-based Octovo is looking to change that with their new, minimal Backpack. The stylish new bag is decidedly urban and made with a water resistant and durable polyester blend with Italian leather trim and a minimalist profile. There’s a large padded pocket for a laptop, a space for bulky items, a side pocket for small essentials and a top that clips close with a fold or a roll.
