Multipocket backpacks were once relegated to the realms of hiking trails and student campuses. But with lines between work and leisure, urban and outdoor, becoming increasingly fluid, their versatility makes them a perfect fit for evolving lifestyles. Today, fashion brands and luxury designers alike are embracing the functional format, each offering their own distinct interpretations.
01 - Acne Studios Camero Gym Backpack, SGD3100
Acne Studios presents a new version of its Camero. Leaning toward utilitarian edginess, the Camero Gym Backpack stays true to the brand’s subversive take on fashion. With robust materials and strategically placed pockets, it’s ideal for those looking to pack everything but the kitchen sink. Long zippers and oversized compartments also make it a breeze to retrieve your belongings. ACNE STUDIOS
02 - Bottega Veneta Crossroad Multipocket Backpack, SGD6230
In stark contrast, Bottega Veneta infuses the multipocket design with bold multicoloured panels. Infusing functionality with personality, it features a playful mix of pink, burgundy, olive, khaki and blue. Cordura nylon makes up the majority of the bag, including the exterior pockets, thus scoring extra points for staying lightweight. Despite the Intrecciato weave playing a subtle role, peeking from the buckle and leather straps, it elevates the backpack to statement piece. BOTTEGA VENETA
03 - Louis Vuitton Montsouris Cargo Backpack, SGD7800
Revisiting the classic drawstring backpack silhouette but with a modern twist, Louis Vuitton cleverly blends the ruggedness of cargo-type pockets with Parisian chic. Soft calfskin leather with the monogram print also replaces the traditional Monogram Canvas. The result is a supple, relaxed feel when strapping the Montsouris Cargo Backpack over the shoulders.

04 - Prada Re-Nylon & Leather Backpack, SGD5000
Prada launches a new multipocket backpack in Re-Nylon. The sustainable upcycled fabric also offers water resistance, making it a pragmatic choice for outdoor journeys. Wide pockets, numerous ring loops and sleek design reflect Prada’s knack for blending industrial aesthetics with fashion to a T. That means you can attach water bottles, accessories and even a Labubu or two to personalise your backpack. PRADA
