Minimalistic, casual and
modern designs are always versatile to match many outfits. While I am not a
“backpack” type of girl, Gaston Luga kindly sent me the men’s version of our
own choice for my boyfriend. I feel that he can most probably maximize the use
of the bag better than I do, although I am honestly quite tempted with some of
their chic designs.
History of Gaston Luga
The story of Gaston Luga started off when the founder Carl Sundqvist met an interesting Frenchman with an elegant and casual style. Gaston told Carl he believed a backpack is the optimal companion when discovering the world. Since he was a person keen of his style, he had put time and effort into finding something different from the regular school style
The vision was to make a line with Scandinavian minimalism and elegance to suit all different occasions. As time went on, leather parts, thick quality cotton, metal details and a mix of carefully selected colors were put together and became the foundation of the new brand named after its predecessor, Gaston Luga.
Gaston Luga also ships to many other countries like UK, USA, Australia Hong Kong, Japan, and more! Just check it out on their website
We were
initially deciding between Praper Black and
Olive & Black. In the end, we
chose Olive & Black backpack and didn’t regret it! We thought that Olive & Black
would have a better contrast than the other. Preppy and simplistic with only
two contrasting colours, the bag makes a perfect fit for travelling, going to
school or a simple day out with friends.
Whenever
I travel, I find it quite a hassle to dig into my bag filled with loads of my
personal belongings to search for my passport. I tend to hold it in my hands for
convenience (But there is always a risk of misplacing or dropping them
accidentally amidst the rush).
The founder, Carl is very meticulous with every
single detail and he understood the importance of user-friendliness of a travel
bag. All Gaston Luga backpacks have a passport and ticket pocket at the back,
which allows travellers to conveniently search for their important travel
documents without losing them easily. How thoughtful!
The bag
also has an adjustable metal hook at four different levels so you do not have
to worry about squashing your belongings when you just have a little too much
to pack. Just adjust it to the highest level and you can make space for more
things. A little space makes a huge difference at times. It can fit a 13”
laptop and this would mean that the bag is also work-friendly. With a leather
design, Gaston Luga praper backpacks can complement smart casual wear too.
