From the Hermes Birkin to a limited-edition Chanel, there’s nothing unusual about a designer bag garnering cult status and a lengthy waiting list to match. However, the latest item to catch attention of eagle eyed fashion fans is a little different. It’s not a beautiful leather tote or a covetable bucket bag but a plain (though very practical) backpack.
The backpack in question comes from Insta-famous luggage brand, Away. Coveted for their sleek yet smart suitcases, millennial-friendly colourways and handy USB charging points, the New York-based brand is loved by the likes of Jessica Alba, Margot Robbie and Karlie Kloss. It also happens to be Meghan Markle’s luggage of choice and according to Yahoo__, the Duchess gifted each of her seventeen friends invited on the [baby shower trip to New York](https://graziadaily.co.uk/celebrity/news/meghan-markle-baby-shower-old-life/ld-life/) one of their suitcases.
Last summer the brand launched their first ever backpack and the item sold out within a few hours. Now the in-demand style is coming back and 9000 people have already joined the waiting listing ready to buy.
Priced at £195 and available in three colours (black, navy and grey), the backpack has a number of handy travel-ready features. It comes with three main zippered compartments, a cushioned pocket that fits a 15” laptop, and external water bottle pocket that easily zips flat. Plus, it can also be neatly secured to any Away carry on sized suitcase.
