Chic Weekend Jaunt Backpacks

The Carl Friedrik 72-Hour Backpack Embraces Impromptu Travel

The Carl Friedrik 72-Hour Backpack has been created by the designer to further drive home the notion that a compact piece of luggage, like a backpack, offers just the right amount of space for a quick weekend jaunt. The bag is designed with two large interior sections that offer a dedicated spot for shoes and another for clothing to keep things neat yet separate. The interior also boasts a designated section for laptops up to 16-inches, while smaller compartments also work well for carrying compact essentials like wallets, smartphones and more.

The Carl Friedrik 72-Hour Backpack has a total capacity of 25-liters and has a straight-lined structure that likens it to high-end luggage. The pack comes in charcoal and chocolate colors priced starting at $556.
