Luggage-Inspired Backpack Designs

The Ekster Grid Backpack Functions Like a Suitcase

The Ekster Grid Backpack is a decidedly structured accessory perfect for travelers and professionals alike to use as a way to keep personal items securely -- and chicly -- stowed.

The backpack draws design inspiration from suitcase construction and features 21-liters of storage space in the main compartment that's great for fitting clothes, tech products or toiletries. The backpack unzips to reveal the entire storage section inside and boasts a series of comportments perfect for separating items from one another.

The Ekster Grid Backpack is built with recycled PET plastic bottles for a reduced reliance on virgin materials and is compact enough to be used as a carry-on or stowed under a seat when used for air travel.
