For the student or the stylish professional, you can’t help but admire the elegance and timeless style of Matt & Nat’s backpacks.

It goes without saying that they make beautiful bags, but most of all Matt & Nat is recognized for their vegan designs and use of recycled fabrics. Whether I’m heading into town, travelling or attending a special event, I’ve got a Matt & Nat bag for every occasion.

These 10 picks from the Dwell, Vintage and Canvas collections are my favourites thanks to their practicality and durability, and I’m willing to bet they’ll be a hit with the ladies in your entourage.

Brave Backpack – The Popular One

The brave backpack is all over campus. It’s not surprising given its roomy main compartment that’s got plenty of room for a laptop and some textbooks. The zippered front pocket is perfect for storing your headphones, keys, wallet and other essentials.

The perfect choice to carry around your essentials while you’re vacationing in Spain, or to make you think you’re already there. The July backpack is perfect for a stroll through the city.

Aries Backpack– The Original One

The Vintage Collection from Matt & nat is my favourite for Chili coloured backpacks, like the Aries pack. To give your look a retro feel or to compliment your jeans, you won’t find a better matching colour than the worn brown colour of the Aries. For those who prefer a classic like, it also comes in black.

Quena Backpack – The Backpack Purse

For those who carry their life in their purse, picking a small backpack might be the best solution to increase space and comfort. The Quena is my favourite for a day at the office: I pack my iPad, phone, wallet, notebook and sunglasses. Its style is perfect and goes with anything.

Mumbai Backpack – The Exotic One

The simple and practical Mumbai backpack is a classic tote bag with a touch of Matt & Nat. Its large drawstring compartment gives you plenty of space to keep a water bottle and its interior pockets are perfect for staying organized. It’s available in several colours and sizes, although I have a preference for red!

Munich Backpack – The Essential

With it’s 13 inch laptop sleeve, the Munich backpack was made for the classroom. A change in style from some of the classic Matt & Nat backpacks, the Munich has a faux-leather base for added durability. The large zippered front pocket adds to its timeless appeal.
