The bag comes in four color options, which are all crafted using cork leather instead of the conventional animal leather to give them a supple appearance that's durable and cruelty free. The backpack offers enough space on the interior for a laptop, tablet and a range of accessories to make it perfect for [everyday wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-bags-for-essentials). The Montage Everyday Backpack is naturally constructed, but still maintains a [water-resistant design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeti-ranchero) to ensure that inclement weather won't render items waterlogged. The cork leather also helps the pack to weigh far less than leather alternatives. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Backpacks:** Opportunities for companies to innovate and create sustainable backpacks using alternative materials. - **Cruelty-free Accessories:** Opportunities to develop and market products that don't harm animals or use animal-derived materials. - **Lightweight Bags:** Opportunities to create backpacks that are durable yet lightweight, making them easier to carry for everyday use. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion designers and retailers can incorporate innovative materials and techniques into their product lines to meet the demand for sustainable fashion accessories. - **Technology:** Opportunities for tech companies to develop backpacks with specialized compartments for laptops, tablets, and accessories for everyday use by professionals and students. - **Outdoor Gear:** Companies that create backpacks for outdoor activities could explore using alternative materials to create durable and lightweight backpacks for hiking and camping. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Accordion-Style Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lundi-rubens-backpack.md) - [Chic Adventure-Ready Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/long-weekend-morro-convertible-backpack.md) - [Eco-Luxe Professional Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apex-30.md) - [Everyday Opulence Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/151-stealth-backpack.md) - [Stylish Camera-Friendly Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carryfly-travel-backpack.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Photography Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoulder-camera-strap.md) - [Full-Grain Leather Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rmfr-edc.md) - [Contemporary Travel Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bis-classic-backpack.md) - [Ultra-Versatile Laptop Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-laptop-backpack.md)
