Get all the joy of carrying sushi with you wherever you go -- without any of the smell -- by wearing these sushi backpacks from Japanese apparel and design company Turn Over. Since sushi is conveniently back-shaped (when enlarged a few dozen times, at least), the sushi backpacks are comfortable and voluminous vessels for [back-to-school shoppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plezi-sugar-pack) whose children have advanced palettes.

Turn Over's sushi backpacks come in three options: salmon, shrimp, and tamago (cooked egg). In each, the "rice" portion of the backpack holds the wearer's wares. The bags feature slots for phones or iPods within and a [pocket for a water bottle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/general-research-parasite-bag) without. Measuring in at 26 centimeters wide, 36 centimeters tall, and 12 centimeters deep (not including the "fish"), they are sure to provide ample space.
