We have seen some other Supreme in here - These are what I bounce between for travel and hiking/climbing/biking.

Now I am just waiting for the Transatlantic bag in black to hit sale for a decent price and I can complete the pieces I want.

I had no idea there were luxury backpacks
when I use one, I use the same one I used in high school. I'm 27 now

The Louis Vuitton packs look too feminine to me. I would feel like Im holding my wife's bag for her.

I love a backpack and use them very frequently, working, flying, around town, client meetings, gym, shopping, etc. but I always feel the more luxury brand bag/packs are the ones targeted for theft. Happened a couple of years to a friend, we were working on the street (photo shoot), out of an open car that wasn't looked after as it should have, the Prada was gone, the Tumi and other random branded bags stayed in the car, even the ones with camera gear. My current go to (and EDC) is Goruck GR1 and Echo, very simple design and I feel I can be nearly anywhere at any time of day or night. Like wearing an Explorer over a YG Sub...

Having carried a rucksack back in the day a luxury backpack seems like an oxymoron.

I just got this and it is awesome.

Highly rated and tons of great features. Especially if you carry around electronics.

Forget the whole "luxury" thing. You might get some nice leather and stitching, but they aren't very functional. Unless of course you the type of person who wants to scream at everyone "I have money and here is proof". There are few things more gaudy than fully monogrammed bags from the expensive brands.

My wife and I each bought Tumi backpacks for a recent trip and were very happy with the quality and functionality

I get a little fatigued when everything a person owns must be “luxury.”

I have Tumi Roll-top backpack and, honestly, wouldn’t recommend it: too overbuilt and heavy. Sometimes it hard to tell what is heavier, my stuff or backpack itself.
I like my The North Face to the future Berkeley much more

Had my choices and went with this one and absolutely love it. Get compliments on it all the time and it’s hard to beat the quality. And I’m not usually into this brand.

Pics from Google imagines.

Wow... a world of "luxury" backpacks...

I understand duffle bags and briefcases... Backpacks though?!

I stopped wearing one after I graduated

I bought a “business” backpack by Travelpro, “platinum elite” model. Light, good size, well made.

It's been a while, how has the bag held up?

My wife loves LV monogram. I think it looks like hell.

As a daily (not work), I use a LocTote drawstring bag. I can't say enough good things about it.

Glad to see this thread bubble back up to the top.

I try to shy away from stuff that says steal me written all over it, especially when it’s written on my back.

At least a watch can be concealed under a cuff if you’re in certain areas.

Obviously all our luggage is LV but we never travel with it.

What do you do with it if not travel?

I use a Frank Clegg Leather backpack and duffel for weekends. Highly recommend both.

Mine has held up well since I got it a couple of yesterdays ago. I would recommend it. Just note the difference in quality between the outlet and the typical retail store.

I recently found a Victorinox daypack with a bottle opener built into the strap hardware. That's all the luxury I need

LV for myself as far as backpack and crossbody bags. Purses and small crossbody for my fiancé as well. We travel with all, as well as carryons from LV. All are always in our sight when traveling.
The checked luggage is something completely different and no harm if lost, damaged, etc…
