The backpack itself made out of strong durable canvas. It is very sturdy and can withstand the weight. The straps are also made out of canvas and initially, I thought that it would cause discomfort on my shoulders since the canvas strap doesn’t seem sturdy enough. But it turns out the strap was quite broad and could support the weight of the bag.
The outer zipper pocket is especially useful because that’s where I store my knick-knacks like memory cards, hair ties, name card and tissue paper. The pocket is further secured by strong magnetic strap closures which made it quite safe to put some of your valuables.
One of the special features of the backpack is the passport pocket that is found at its back. It’s a small pocket that fits your passport or wallet. For me, I like to slot my EZ-link card into this pocket which is highly accessible because I tend to travel a lot via public transport. This feature makes it really convenient for travellers who needed to store their valuables in compartments which are not within the reach of the pickpockets. If you have travelled to Europe before, you’ll know what I’m saying.
Within the backpack, there are also two inner pockets – one big and one small. The bigger pocket in the inner compartment can hold your 13-15″ laptop with ease. It fits my MacBook perfectly.
The workmanship and quality of Gaston Luga’s bags are superb. They hailed from Stockholm, Sweden. The Clässic backpack is made with thick cotton and faux leather for durability and better water resistance while the inner lining is made with luxurious 100% cotton fabric which doesn’t tear easily apart. Because of the sturdy materials, the backpack itself weighs quite a bit. Thus, even if it is very spacious, I tend not to fill my bag with too many items or it would weigh a tonne on my shoulders.
The size of the backpack is just right for me because I could put in my cameras and other gadgets whenever I’m out travelling out and about. It’s a great companion.
