# Two-Sided Backpacks This Leather Backpack Works on Both Sides the Same Way By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-04-25 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-backpack References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2014/04/24/two-faces-one-bag/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/740337841/2face-backpack) Leather backpacks are amazing because they provide the style of having a leather accessory, but the functionality of a backpack. This particular bag, named the 2Face backpack, works on both sides and comes with [different compartments and perks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matrix-backpack) with each side. Sometimes, having a [standard backpack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bis-classic-backpack) isn't enough. In cases like that, it would be a definite bonus to have a backpack that served [two purposes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercurius): the 2Face backpack is that bag. The entire bag is made of leather (varying kinds, depending on the bag), including the often forgotten straps. The two sides don't only serve a different functional purpose, they also serve a different stylistic purpose. One of the sides is a more casual look, while the other is a more formal one. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Two-sided Backpacks:** New designs of two-sided backpacks with different compartments will provide users with added functionalities and stylistic options. - **Convertible Accessories:** The introduction of convertible accessories, like the two-sided backpack, will redefine the way people think about accessories and their usage. - **Eco-friendly Leather Products:** Manufacturing two-sided backpacks using eco-friendly leather materials can offer a more sustainable and eco-friendly option to consumers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Accessories:** The fashion industry can capitalize on this trend by creating more convertible accessories that serve different functional and stylistic purposes. - **Retail:** Retailers can benefit from the introduction of two-sided backpacks by stocking and marketing them as an innovative and must-have product. - **Leather Production:** Leather production businesses can innovate by developing eco-friendly and sustainable manufacturing processes for two-sided backpacks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Everyday Opulence Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/151-stealth-backpack.md) - [Adaptable Three-in-One Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultix-outdoors-superpack.md) - [Full-Grain Leather Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rmfr-edc.md) - [Multimodal Waterproof Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimodal-waterproof-backpacks.md) - [Lifestyle-Conscious Duffle Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackbriar-allaround-duffle-backpack.md) - [Stylish Camera-Friendly Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carryfly-travel-backpack.md) - [Triple-Style Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tefors-ultimatum-bag.md) - [Modular Multifunctional Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercurius.md) - [Chic Adventure-Ready Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/long-weekend-morro-convertible-backpack.md)
