Samsonite takes colorblocking back to the 1990s with this retro inspired Lax Throwback backpack.
It’s refreshing to see an accessory that is unashamedly a fashion throwback. All too often designers looks to reinterpret the styles that came before in new modern ways, but this backpack is happy living in the past. That is likely to polarize audiences, but those of us who remember fondly watching Blossom while wearing Hammer pants will probably love the nostalgic design. The combination of purple, mustard, and teal is jarring, but on such a simply designed backpack I think Samsonite gets away with it.
As we’d expect from Samsonite, this Lax Throwback backpack isn’t just about the look. It’s made from tough 600-denier polyester, which is as easy to keep clean as it is strong. It has plenty of pockets inside and out for storing small essentials, and a generously sized main compartment. And padding in the back panel and shoulder straps ensure it’s comfortable to carry even when filled to the brim.
If you’re tempted by the nostalgia but still uncertain, perhaps the price will make your mind up. At $39.99 it’s a steal for any backpack, particularly one that comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
