Flat Functional Backpacks

Cote & Ciel Makes Bags That are Orderly and Easy to Access

— June 4, 2012 — Art & Design
In times of rush, it's a hassle to dig through the bottom of a backpack to find items and now Cote & Ciel designs a bag that obliterates that stressful scrounge frenzy.

The Flat Backpack is the ideal bag for travelers who like to keep their items clean and orderly. It's lightweight and compact, making it easier to find and pack essential needs. It's equipped with a compartment that'll safely guard and hold laptops up to 15 inches. An internal partition will separate gadgets from paper documents that'll be prevented from crumpling.

The Flat Back Pack by Cote & Ciel is built with quality trims in both leather and steel with three zip pockets to compartmentalize random nicknacks. This edgy bag is water-repellant waxed and accentuated with soft cotton linings that'll offer any sluggish outfit a sleek appeal.
