Help! Rucksack for work

11 replies

Happychappy33 · 18/06/2019 10:10

Hello, I’m going back to work soon and am trying to find a nice good quality rucksack. It will need to fit a lunchbox, little umbrella, glasses case etc but not be too big. Any neutral colour.

Budget up to £200 for the right one.

Anyone seen any nice ones? I’m really struggling

The fjallraven Kanken is popular, hard wearing, available in loads of colours and a variety of sizes.

Happychappy33 · 18/06/2019 10:20

That is a lovely bag and thank you for the suggestion. I would like something a big smarter though.

Here is a link but you can ge them from Blacks, Cotsw, Fjallraven etc.
They are waterproof as well.
I've had a couple for years and they look great.
Good for city breaks a s well as work.

Ah, cross posted with you. They are all the rage in our office block!. ( They do bigger sizes, but you say you want something smarter.
There was some leather ones on The Outnet a wh a while ago around the £200 mark

A little over budget but very smart!

Love the aruku one! Definitely the type of thing I’m after but slightly cheaper. Maternity leave pay is biting hard 🙄

I have a knomo Beauchamp. It's roomy and smart.

Lululemon have a few in different sizes, nice colours and very practical?

I dithered for ages on the same thing and ended up with a Lekesky in grey which is dead smart. And very reasonably priced.

The Knomo Beauchamp is gorgeous! I’d forgotten about Lululemon too, some nice ones there. The Lekesky looks very practical and stylish. Thanks all.

Hi,
I’m the founder of Aruku so appreciate the mention 😊. The benefit of our backpacks is we don’t sell through retailers (only through our website) so we don’t have to put a big mark up on our products to pay for the ‘middle man’. So essentially you’re getting much better value for money than if you buy through a high street store. We also manufacture at the same factory as one of the worlds most well-known luxury brands so we’re confident we’re delivering a premium product that will last. Just thought this was info worth sharing!!! Happy shopping 😊
