# Bartender-Geared Backpacks The Gin & Luck Rucksack Encourages a Cocktail Mixing Hobby By Meghan Young | Published 2012-11-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gin-luck-rucksack References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/food-drink/gin-luck-rucksack.php) & [ginandluck](http://www.ginandluck.com/) The Gin & Luck Rucksack is geared towards bartenders, or, at the very least, those who enjoy [mixing a good cocktail](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-mixology) and thus needs to always be prepared. Like a picnic basket for liquor, the [backpack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bis-classic-backpack) has been designed with specific details that addresses this lifestyle and hobby. For instance, the side pockets sport strategic holes on the flaps so that the head of the bottle can peak through. Although versatile enough to be used for any occasion, the Gin & Luck Rucksack also comes with a [shaker sleeve](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexclad-cocktail-shaker) and tool kit as well as a water-resistent lining in case of spills. It is made out of over-dyed canvas in black or blue with nickel-plated hardware and leather detailing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bartender Backpacks:** Backpacks specifically designed for bartenders and mixologists may disrupt the traditional bar tool kit market. - **Portable Cocktail Kits:** Portable cocktail kits, like the Gin & Luck Rucksack, may disrupt the travel accessory market as people look for ways to bring their hobbies on-the-go. - **Lifestyle-specific Bags:** Bags designed for specific lifestyles, like the Gin & Luck Rucksack for bartenders, may disrupt the traditional backpack and bag markets. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bartending:** Bartending industry professionals may be interested in backpacks specifically designed for their craft. - **Travel Accessories:** Travel accessory companies may be impacted by the rise of portable cocktail kits and lifestyle-specific bags for on-the-go hobbies. - **Fashion Accessories:** Fashion accessory companies may be disrupted by the rise of specialized bags for specific lifestyles and hobbies, like the Gin & Luck Rucksack for bartenders and mixologists. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Cocktail Packets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-cocktail-packets.md) - [Lifestyle-Conscious Duffle Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackbriar-allaround-duffle-backpack.md) - [Minimalist Accordion-Style Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lundi-rubens-backpack.md) - [Retro Militant Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waxed-canvas-backpack.md) - [Metallic Mixologist Case Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-x-robbe-berking-cocktail-case.md) - [Craft Cocktail Infusion Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-gin-bundle.md) - [Backpack-Compatible Cooler Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooler-bag.md) - [Performance-Driven Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rucking-fitness.md) - [Sculptural Cocktail Shakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexclad-cocktail-shaker.md)
