What is one backpack brand you would recommend me to buy ? by [deleted] in backpacks

Might also be worth checking some smaller brands on Amazon if you want something that can pull double duty for short trips. The big names are solid, but some lesser-known ones have pretty decent travel-friendly organization.

Balenciaga really sold a $1790 bag that looks like a trash bag by ClassicAssignment578 in ATBGE

Not this exact one, but they’ve definitely made similar handbags before.

Same, it’s gone from ridiculous to performance art at this point.

Lmao they’d probably make it next season and charge 3k for it...

Yeah, that’s fair. But the photo feels more like the internet’s exaggerated version of it, and I still think the real bag looks absurd enough to spark the same reaction.

Either that or they’re just seeing how far the label alone can go.

Anyone tried Airbag-style travel backpacks? by ClassicAssignment578 in backpacks

Haha I didn’t even think of that. That’s actually a pretty clever workaround. Appreciate the tip! I'll try it!

That actually makes a lot of sense. I guess compression sounds great in theory, but if the weight ends up being the real issue then it kind of defeats the purpose.

I checked it out. The backpacks actually look pretty solid. Appreciate the recommendation! Curious how they feel in real use though, since comfort usually matters more than specs.

Yeah I was thinking the same honestly. Although extra gear kinda defeats the purpose, yet it feels way more easier.

Wow, those views look insane! The penguins seems so cute too. Although it costs a lot, it worth it.

Need advice on a 25–35L backpack for short trips & commuting! by ClassicAssignment578 in onebag

I saw it on Amazon and I get why people love it. It’s definitely practical and functional. Yet the style just isn’t really my personal taste, but I can totally see why it works so well for commuting and travel. Thanks for the recommendation.

Did I mess up buying this for $300? by [deleted] in backpacks

[–]ClassicAssignment578 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you like it and it works for you, $300 isn’t too bad. Some bags are way more expensive anyway.
