Women's stylish backpack

Stylish women’s backpack: from the mini city bag to the laptop backpack, from £24.90

A stylish backpack is recognised by its line, its material and what it lets you carry without losing its look. This collection brings together women’s backpacks of every size: mini backpacks for a phone and wallet, city backpacks for the day, retro and vintage backpacks, and business models that take a laptop. The material of each bag is the one on its product page: PU leather most often, genuine leather on two models, microfibre, nylon, Oxford, corduroy or canvas.

Mini backpacks, for going out light

For a dinner, an exhibition or shopping, a mini backpack holds the essentials and leaves your hands free. The Rilibegan Women's Mini Backpack (£24.90) takes a phone, wallet and keys, in white, pink or black. The mini backpack with geometric patterns, the classic backpack in coffee, pink or white and the trendy mini flap-and-drawstring model, in black or brown, follow the same idea. For more choice in these sizes, see our page women's small backpack.

City backpacks, for the whole day

This is the heart of the selection: backpacks big enough for a notebook, a water bottle and a jumper, understated enough for the office.

• The light, anti-theft stylish model (£44.90), in brown, blue, purple, black or green, closes with an anti-theft opening.
• The two-tone stylish backpack, in blue and beige or white and red, and the multifunction backpack in a casual-chic style, for the city and work.
• The classic anti-theft backpack, with a minimalist design, in white, black or grey.
• The trendy backpack in a minimalist style, in white or black, for everyday life as well as for classes.

Retro, vintage and genuine leather

For a more distinctive look, retro and vintage backpacks play on warm colours: chestnut, coffee, brown or burgundy. The vintage women’s backpack in genuine leather (£49.90) comes in green, black, grey, gold or brown, and the Elegance and Practicality genuine leather model comes in black, brown or coffee. The vintage embossed PU leather backpack (£99.90), with engraved floral patterns, is the most elaborate on the page. This is where the spirit of a luxury women’s backpack is found: the material and the detail, rather than a brand. All the fine materials are gathered on the page Women's leather backpack.

Backpacks for work and laptops

A chic backpack can also carry a laptop. The Women's Stylish Oxford 15-Inch Backpack (£109.90), in black or beige, takes a 15-inch laptop; the Oxford GOLF backpack takes a 15.6-inch one, and the large-capacity nylon backpack has a laptop compartment. For a selection built around this need, see our page laptop backpack for women.

Which stylish backpack should you choose?

• For an evening out: a mini backpack, in black or a light colour.
• For the office: an understated city backpack, in black, blue or brown, with an anti-theft opening if you take public transport.
• For rain: nylon or Oxford; see also our page waterproof city backpack for women.
• For a more relaxed style: corduroy, or our women's chic sports backpack.
• For going on a trip: a bigger backpack, and the selection women's travel backpack.

Three details that make a stylish backpack

The colours: black is still the easiest to wear every day, brown and coffee give a retro note, two-tones and light shades a fresher look. The line: a flap, a compact shape or a discreet fastening matters more than a logo. Comfort and practicality: straps that adjust, a back that doesn’t spoil the shape of your jacket and pockets that save you emptying everything to find your keys.
