TROUBADOUR MATRIX BACKPACK: SUPER-SMART LOOKS AND TECH ORGANIZATION

BACKPACK

- BY SIMON JARY

We've road-tested a lot of great backpacks, duffle bags, shoulder bags and totes in our bid to find the best. MacBook bags (fave.co/43miXE9), but we fell in love with the Troubadour Matrix Backpack on first sight.

Gorgeous, slim, and lightweight, it is specifically designed for the tech-carrying commuter or traveler—but you'll pay a premium price for this luxury organizer.

EXTERIOR DESIGNER LOOKS

On the inside, the Matrix Backpack is all about organization. But the exterior (which is only available in black) is business smart, in a FortiWeave waterproof fabric that's built with recycled polyester, and featuring elegant elements of vegan leather trim. The back provides a comfortable padded mesh panel for breathability to stop a sweat building up as you wear it.

Staying with the outside of the backpack, at the front there are two zipped pockets. The top pocket is for easy access to the things you need to reach in a hurry, such as your AirPods and sunglasses, passport and papers, and includes a key clip and AirTag slot.

On one side of the backpack you'll find a water bottle holder.
