Tom Bihn Synapse 25

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.
