It's been a while since my last "New Found Treasures" post, but we're slowly getting to the last of them now. For all that aren't too sure what I'm harping on about, I'm showing everything I bought within the time I moved down to London(I wasn't there ages though). So this time, it's the backpack.
I picked this little number up in French Connection in Brighton. Not a shop I go in loads but my friend Nic saw something in the window, as the sale was on. I managed to pick this up for £13.50, which I consider a massive bargain as I know there are similar ones around these days for up too £130(COS for example). I realise it's bursting open in this picture but I was carrying a lot that day.
Anyone else got a backpack thing going on?
This image was taken by my friend Kate, who also blogs at anyweargirl.com which is pretty cool.
Oh you lucky thing! I've been searching high and low for a canvas backpack that was both stylish and affordable, but no avail. You're right about most of 'em being rather costly. The one's I can afford look like they belong to an army trainee. Ah, well.
ReplyDelete£13.50? That's awesome Buckets, there's a backpack post in my drafts waiting to go :)

Its price versus its style and functionality really make it a no-brainer buy, you did a great job in finding and getting it! As for myself, well I was really trying to ignore backpacks all together, but the Alexander Wang looks so good, and really nothing can beat a backpack in the functionality&comfort department, so we'll see . . .
ReplyDeleteHey matey - I have one very similar, I got mine from China! I don't often wear it though I stick to my vintage leather brief case from Bionic! Are the Chinos pictured - Topman?
ReplyDeleteAs for COS I shall be making my first visit come the weekend - Im off to Berlin, V excited to finally see the goodies on offer in person!

ReplyDeleteI really, really want a leather rucksack - you've re-awoken it in me! WELL DONE I HAVE NO MONEY
ReplyDeleteI totally have a backpack thing going on and am still looking for a good one. Yours is great, just the right mixture of practical and good-looking. Will have to check French Connection in my area, but somehow I'm not too optimistic...
ReplyDelete£13.50?!! Flippin jealous to say the least. I love proper old school backpacks, I always a tad dumb carrying a messenger bag, it is far too uni student.
ReplyDeleteThis backpack is really cool!
ReplyDeleteFab backpack and what a great deal you got! I used to have a minor obsession with these, but I'm a girl, so it's all about the handbags now ;-) Great blog by the way!
ReplyDeleteooh, I LOVE it!!! I've really been getting back into the backpacks as well now...I love them like yours, hanging loose, and even sort of open! Really cool, and great deal! xo

Backpack is great, I've never even bought anything from French Connection because I'm always shocked by the prices I think. Such a steal though! Thanks for the feedback on my latest post, I've had a lot of stuff on my mind and it felt good to let a little of it out on the blog! Keep finding great finds ^.^ Sarah
ReplyDeleteWow - what a great score!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to pop over and thank you for entering the giveaway for my Karma Cards on the Daisy Chain blog. We have a few sets left if you're still keen! (cough, shameless self-promotion, cough) ;)
I like it! Mine in college was a boring plain black one :]
ReplyDeleteSincerely salute the bargain, respeck.
