Yet another 90s fashion statement has made a comeback. Often considered an accessory for kids or students, backpacks have come in trend for adults, especially women.

According to NPD, sales of women’s backpacks have increased by 28 percent since last year. More and more working class women are ditching their handbags and tote bags, which are considered to be fashion staples.

Many big names in fashion have adapted to this growing trend. Street wear brand like Supreme and luxury brands such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton and YSL have caught up to this comfortable trend and created luxury version of backpacks for those who can spend some money.

Backpacks are the most practical accessory. Its straps distribute the weight in the bag evenly which reduces chances of shoulder and back pain. Unlike regular women’s bags, backpacks are often equipped with internal compartments for extra storage of laptops, cables, phones, etc. Most working women believe one bag for all their needs is convenient than juggling many bags as they take the public transport every day.
