I have become a bit obsessed (well really a lot obsessed!)

with backpack bags.

The practicality of a hands-free carrier certainly appeals.

…

I have been desirous of a leather briefcase backback for some time:

structured frame

smart look

compact size

ample interior

…

On the look out

I spotted the perfect bag,

which ticked all the boxes:

the Alfie Douglas briefcase bag.

…

…

Designed and manufactured in England

by a family of creative talents

(a mum, dad and their daughters),

the bag of my briefcase backpack dreams

is toffee brown with contrasting black straps.

It’s simple and elegant.

…

I had the pleasure of meeting the members of this

design family at the recent London Fashion Weekend (LFWend).

They are as gracious as their bags are beautifully crafted.

…

I ‘gotta have it!’ and I did just that.

Yeah me!

As I write this,

it’s the close of London Fashion Week

the bi-annual event which marks presentation of the best of British design

to an anticipatory international fashion community.

Established designers and emerging talents

showcase their artistry with that special brand

of Brit inventiveness and whimsy.

…

Yet, all isn’t simply stomping the catwalk and watching runway shows.

It’s about the quality and craftsmanship of original pieces.

Always on the look out for a bag of function and style,

this season, the new Luxac rucksack bag

caught my full handbag accessory-obsessive attention.

Made of Italian leather, handmade in England, the Luxac

is a ‘gotta have it!’ piece.

designed and crafted in England

stylish and compact from all angles

…

For women on the go, juggling work and leisure

an on-trend, hands-free carrier is a desirable,

and the new Luxac rucksack bag is a target of accessory affection.

hands-free

for work

for play

in size and colour choices

…

The Luxac is available in three size options:

max (neat, yet roomy enough for a laptop), midi, mini

and soir (the smallest bag for special occasions/evening-wear).

This on-fashion-point carrier is designed in a variety of

coloured leather finishes, detailed decorative linings and strap alternatives.

for evening-wear

with adjustable leather straps or chain detail

in fashion fun interior linings

The rucksack is no longer solely a carrier bag

for transporting camping and school gear.

It has evolved into a fashion statement piece,

an accessory to express personal style –

all while toting the day’s necessary items.

And the best part … jazz free hands!
