Synapse Backpack

“"I wear my Tom Bihn Backpack as we know" - Kate Berlant”

“Kate: Jacqueline originally convinced me to buy one. I used to think I would never wear a backpack like the Synapse because it wasn’t fashionable. Now my Tom Bihn backpack is my absolute ride-or-die travel companion for walking through airport terminals. We travel constantly, so it gets nonstop use. Jacqueline: She said it would make her look completely desexualized, and I told her it was her responsibility to transcend the backpack. If a utilitarian bag can ruin your style, you need to work harder to elevate the rest of your look.”

“Absolutely not sexy BUT the organization options cannot be beat (rings you can clip keys to! clever pockets!) There are two sizes, and I have the smaller 19. It’s my daily work bag and even without a laptop sleeve, I can easily fit my work computer. Even though it’s smaller, I have used it as my only (!) bag on flights for trips of 3 days or so.”
