The Hedgehog Punk Backpack is a playful take on the punk style. Although adorned with countless of spikes, it is far from menacing. First of all, the spikes are semi-plush since they are big and fashioned out of soft stuffed leather. Secondly, and most importantly, the spikes are multicolored, which will bring to mind a punk Rainbow Brite.

Designed by Win8Fong, the Hedgehog Punk Backpack is a unisex sack that is most appropriate for adolescents. Whether used for school or simply as a practical fashion statement, the Hedgehog Punk Backpack still conveys a lot of personality. Not everyone can pull off multi-colored spikes and leather. Fun and youthful, it could make a great back-to-school gift this fall.
