UNIF's faux leather bag is a [rucksack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fjallraven-kanken-koncept) that draws inspiration from the unexpected, church windows. The black backpack boasts a embroidered cross and tear-shaped symbols and boasts a central element that is inspired by ornate, stained glass windows.

The central element is an all-seeing eye and features a technicolored palette of vibrant hues. UNIF's faux leather bag embodies a nostalgic, rocker aesthetic and is a nod to fashion's recent 90s revival.

Referencing retro Madonna videos and Lady Gaga's past focus on religious fashion staples, this [statement accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocknot) fuses a fun concept with a functional design. The piece will appeal to daring style enthusiasts who aren't afraid to get noticed. This particular piece looks best when paired with vintage jeans, a white tee and the perfect leather jacket.
