The fashion scene is blossoming with backpacks these days, with everyone — even the most refined of luxury fashion brands — offering their take on the functional bag. So how do you pick one? Well, practicality is important, which is why wer’re looking to Dior Homme’s SS16 collection (above) and this roomy calf leather backpack. It’s not only functional, but made from a material that is only going to look better with age the more you use it. Which brings us to the second point — aesthetics. If you’re wearing a navy wool suit, you won’t want a nylon, mountaineering-type bag ruining your look, which is where the luxury market is nicely whetting our backpack appetites. With just subtle trims of camo, this summer’s key print, Dior’s new season bag, pictured here, is there for the taking.
