This season's must have this autumn is again, the backpack. The backpack, also known as a rucksack is back with avengence. At Attavanti we cater for both men and women and you can choose from a range that includes draw string top, flap over, zipped, with pockets or decorative studs, all in luxurious Italian leather.

A backpack is not only very practical but now fashionable too. Look stylish and be able to accommodate and carry all your things whether it's for travel, work, college or Uni. Backpacks are big on the High Street and all the top designer names in fashion have backpacks in their collections, including Chanel, Mulberry, LV, Versace, YSL and Dior. 

My picks from Attavanti are the Pratesi Caporalino in luxury black aged leather with lots of external pockets and detailed buckle straps, classic and so chic. Next is the Arcadia Alda drawstring top bucket bag in contrasting leather that converts into a backpack with detachable straps. A little different but even more versatile, 2 bags for the price of one. And for the men a larger size backpack, the Venezia by Giorgio Fedon. Handcrafted in hardwearing milled grained leather, with lots of compartments, one reinforced for a laptop. Ideal for the frequent traveller and is part of a stylish set that includes a briefcase and messenger bag.
