Compact Hipster Backpacks

Använda's Bag Simply Holds Things and Makes Users Look Cool

— February 22, 2018 — Fashion
In a world driven by complicated algorithms and groundbreaking technology, Använda announced its Kickstarter campaign for a classic hipster backpack that is described as "not innovative, just awesome." Proving that sometimes simplicity, good design and fashion-forward silhouettes are everything one needs in a backpack, the campaign has been 6,952% funded with seven days to go.

Naturally, the hipster backpack has a heavy vintage feel. It boasts comfort and "the right amount [of pockets] for a normal person." The product is budget-friendly, with great attention to detail, as well as many carrying modes.

The Använda hipster backpack comes in variety of solid colorways and patterns on leather or pleather silhouettes, depending on personal preference.
