I found it really hard to choose the right backpack as there are so many stunning bags on the market and it seems that you guys also finding it hard to find the perfect bag so I decided to share my top finds, right here!
I’m constantly on-the- go between shifts at the hospital, meetings in the city, writing blog posts from coffee shops, and training at the gym, so I tend to pack everything in my backpack and bring it with me. I was using a pretty grubby sports backpack as my multi-use bag so I wanted to upgrade it to something that was practical but also stylish. I asked you guys on Instagram where could I find a nice black backpack and the response was incredible, and super helpful, which led me to invest in a Sandqvist ALVA back pack which is big enough to carry my 12” Macbook, my water bottle, my Keepcup, my lunchbox, and a book, but it is also small enough that it sits neatly on my back and goes with any outfit.
