The Eastpak models
The Up Roll backpack by Eastpak offers 23 litres of space and closes with a roll-top. Roll it down further when you have less to carry, or less for a busy day. A padded compartment holds a laptop up to 16 inches, and the bag sits on your back, leaving your hands free.
The polyester comes in a canvas or smooth finish, from understated black and grey to bolder red, green or purple. Expect to pay between €71 and €90, and Eastpak guarantees the bag for 30 years: choose the finish and colour you like best first.
