Lightweight backpack handbag

[Salie68x]

Looking for a backpack, but handbag size, not rucksack. Needs to be quite light, suffer from back issues. Would like one with quite thick straps that go on your back, and a zipped pocket on the outside that goes against your back, for security. Any suggestions? Budget up to about £70,

Thanks

For size, weight, straps and budget I would suggest a fabric bag like Herschel or Kipling but they don't have the security pocket. Generally I don't think smaller backpacks have that...

Kipling Firefly Up, City Mini or City S might work. They are lightweight and those particular styles have an outside zip pocket that goes against your back. Amazon often has reasonable deals on Kipling that would fit your budget. Direct from Kipling can be a bit £££.

I've got this, (not from M&S , got mine from QVC) love it .

Though I have bought a Kipling from eBay or Amazon I wasn't 100% sure it was genuine , some discrepancies between it and my other Kiplings

Some excellent opinions OP..btw if you do decide to go for kipling they have similar bag as pp suggested on tkmaxx for much cheaper www.tkmaxx.com/uk/en/women/activewear/sports-bags/pink-classic-backpack/p/11040017
