Backpacks have never really been my kind of thing, it’s a stereotype but I’ve always deemed backpacks to be bulky, boyish and difficult to match certain outfits. Gaston Luga has changed this biased perception of mine lately due to their chic and classy Scandinavian designs. Their past collections have never failed to impress me, and I’m even more in love with their latest designs.
CLÄSSY – BLACK & BROWN
What I love most about Gaston Luga?
I didn’t have any issues picking out an outfit because I can create so many looks and styles with this bag alone! A two-toned colour palette with its simple design makes it easy to match with many different outfits! I have a mini version of this bag but I like how I’m able to throw in more things with a more spacious and bigger design!
Gaston Luga has been known for their backpacks with sleek designs and great functionality. But there’s more to just that! Here are 5 things I love about Gaston Luga, and of course these are also reasons why they are so popular!
1) Minimalistic Design
“Less is more!”
Their minimalistic and chic design in a few basic colour palettes makes dressing up less of a headache and dilemma. Complex and fanciful designs may look appealing on its own, but when it comes to accessorising your outfit, it can be a disaster to pick out suitable outfits.
2) Versatility
Of course, with its minimalistic design, the bag itself would naturally be more versatile for different occasions without going out of style. Romantic dates, work, gym sessions or friends outing – the bag has a place to stand on its own! They also offer a variety of other unisex designs which can be shared among couples or family members too!
3) Durable material
Made of strong, resistant fabrics such as cotton canvas and metal buckles, the bag is durable and can withstand carrying heavier items such as your laptop. Even with the thicker and durable material used on the bag, it’s surprisingly not too heavy!
4) User-friendliness
The bag contains secure padded pocket that fits most 11″-13″ laptops, with adjustable PU leather straps to change the length. On top of that, I love that the bag comes with a hidden pocket at the back, which is especially great for slotting my passport during travel to prevent pickpockets. Otherwise, it’s a great compartment to insert my EzLink card as well!
5) Free Express International Shipping
Shipping is very efficient! I received the bags within a few days of confirming the order! This is also helpful if you are looking for a last minute gift for someone! They also provide free returns if you are not satisfied with your products!
6) Environmental friendly
For environmental-friendly users out there, you’ll be very pleased to know that Gaston Luga is a socially responsible brand in helping Mother Nature preserve our natural ecosystem, as well as providing support to local communities that depends on local forests for livelihood in Kenya. By partnering with Carbon Footprint Ltd, they are committed to help fight climate change as well.
