You must be thinking that it's just a backpack. Everyone carries it.
It's no biggie. Why is she making a fuss or so excited over it? Well you will
never know the excitement if you are someone who carries backpack all the time.
I have never really like carrying backpack since school time. Even during
school time, I uses sling bag or shoulder bag. I don't like the idea of
carrying baggy, ugly or plain looking backpack.
Yes ugly. I think most of the backpack that are designed for schools or
even outing don't look really appealing or they are too plain!

I saw Gaston Luga around for sometimes and I'm so excited when they approached me for a collaboration.
Who's Gaston Luga?
Gaston Luga, a Swedish backpack retailer
located in the heart of Stockholm, Sweden and have recently entered the
Singapore and Malaysia markets.
How it started?
Founder Carl Sundqvist met an interesting Frenchman with an elegant and
casual style. Gaston told Carl he believed a backpack is
the optimal companion when discovering the world. Since he was a person keen of
his style, he had put time and effort into finding something different from the
regular school style.
Finally he found himself an elegant Louis Vuitton, to which he had
several modifications made. Making it more personal, functional and unique.
Inspired after the meeting, Carl decided a few months later to create his own
backpack brand with classic elegant style and practical details. Hopefully
these would get to travel the world, just like Gaston.
The backpacks are
uniquely designed to fit any setting, no matter where you would go. The
minimalistic and elegant exterior, functional features such as a pocket
specially designed for things needed to be easily accessible yet kept safe
(i.e. passport, cash) are also details that make the backpacks extremely
practical.
Each backpack is
also equipped with an inner compartment which can hold your 13-15" laptop
with ease, making it a good choice for work and travel.
They have lots and lots of colors and design to fit individual needs and
taste. So now let me briefly introduce to you 3 collections.

This is a rather elegant and timeless design which can suits any
occasion. You can also make it more unique and match your style with their
beautifully colored leather address tag. It also has a passport & ticket
pocket.
Bullen features an adjustable and removable shoulder strap, foldable
handles and a convenient outer pocket for small necessities. The 2-way metallic
zippers allow for flexible opening of the bag, making it easier to insert and
retrieve items into and from the bag. Inside the bag are a large main
compartment, one zippered pocket and one open pocket. It is made of leather and
strong durable canvas.

Pråper
The Pråper Collection is one of the design
which I actually wanted initially especially the pink. But since I'm a very
"Pink Lady" with everything almost pink, I decided to choose
something unique. This is a bold and elegant design, with details designed to
give it that little something extra. Made
of thick and strong cotton fabric for durability. Hard metal hooks close the
main compartment, which contains a 13-15” laptop pocket and four smaller
pockets for your phone, wallet etc. On the back, the unique Gaston Luga pocket
can hold your passport, flight and train tickets, making them safe yet easily
accessible. The inside is dressed with a 100% cotton fabric. Your valuables are
therefore held in a soft and elegant looking compartment. Under the backpack
are four metallic feet, giving your backpack extra protection and a cooler
look. Carrying it makes one looks sophisticated with every outfit..
Make
your bag unique and match up your personal style with a colored leather address
tag.

earlier on, I'm known to be a everything pink person, this time I chose
sometime totally unique and I glad I made the right choice I can't wait to bring it along with me to my Bali trip this Sept!
The backpack arrived really quickly via DHL. It came well packed in a carton box.
