Looking for a stylish yet functional backpack. I like Roka but feel like I'm way too late to the party, are they looking dated now?

Will be using it as a nappy/changing bag for now, but would like it to fit a laptop and notepad for when I'm back to work.

Wipeable (washable?) a bonus. Hard wearing. Easy to carry. Not bulky.

Thanks!

I was just about to ask the same. I have a kanken but it’s falling apart. I def don’t want a Roka as my 12yr old uses one for school!

Mine is for a laptop and work gubbins.

OP for a change bag I just used a little changing pouch from Jojo Maman Bebe and chucked it in whatever bag I used that day.

I've got a Kindbag rucksack that I use for work.
Made from recycled plastic so washable.
I'm pleased with it.

I’ve used a Kanken as a changing/baby bag for the last 4 years. It doesn’t look bad considering it’s never had a day off! it’s comfy, washes well, fits everything in and yet also squashes up quite small if i only have the little baby and I don’t need food and loads of clothes for potential toilet accidents. I got the all black version so it hides dirt and goes with everything, and can be worn by me or my husband. I will continue to use it when I don’t need to lug a load of nappies, spare clothes, meals, sun cream, etc. 24/7… So, in what feels like it will be approx 2062 😂

I have an earlier version of this: https://www.lululemon.co.uk/en-gb/p/double-zip-backpack-22l/prod11710164.html?dwvar_prod11710164_color=66496

and absolutely love it. Not bulky, but super practical for work and travelling. V light & comfortable to carry. I actually like it a lot more than I had ever expected.

I like Doughnut - fun colours/designs, different styles and practical compartments:

Also pacsafe, which is smarter looking. It's comfortable and I love the compartments/features:
