I’m getting on the mini backpack trend with the adorable yet functional Gaston Luga Clässy Mini Backpack

10 Comments

Am I over the backpack craze yet? Nope, not by a long shot! But they aren’t terribly elegant are they? Perfectly functional and convenient, but not something you can tote about easily without bumping into things or people, and looking a little gauche. This Gaston Luga Clässy is much more streamlined, but still a little bulky for everyday.

So you may have noticed that many brands are now introducing mini backpacks and not to be outdone, Swedish brand Gaston Luga introduces the Gaston Luga Clässy Mini backpack, and it’s cute!

See, it’s so little! haha!

I never used to be into little bags, but in recent times, I’ve been quite into them. I’ve switched out from most of my medium-sized bags to little ones. Not sure why, perhaps it’s just a phase I’m going through as it suits my current lifestyle.

I bet you want to know how it compares to the regular sized Clässy and what fits in there, so let me show you 🙂

I wanted a classy, fashionable and functional backpack and The Clässy Gaston Luga Backpack fit the bill perfectly

6 Comments

Some time last year, I was introduced to Gaston Luga – a brand of backpacks that had a sleek Scandinavian design that is currently quite in. It was a canvas backpack that was different from many of the bags I carry, and I found it surprisingly useful. But also rather larger than I expected.

So, when the opportunity arose again to try another one of Gaston Luga backpacks, I picked the Clässy design and you know what? This one’s classy!

For anyone who is looking for a fashionable, yet practical backpack, I’d suggest that you take a look at the Gaston Luga Clässy backpack. As you can see from my modelling shots (ha!) the size is much better suited to my height for day-to-day use, compared to the Classic backpack which I feel better suits travel.

Let me show you a few more pictures, and I actually used this while on my year-end holiday in Bangkok last year, so I can tell you that it’s a travel work-horse too! 🙂

Bag Lust: Gucci Soho Disco Bag – It is small and casual but elegant

24 Comments

I haven’t done a Bag Lust post in a while. This is primarily because I haven’t been lusting after many new bags. *whew* Did you hear that? that was my bank account sighing in relief!

But last weekend, I held a little insta-live chit-chat session, where a few of you asked me what bags I’ve currently got my eye on. That’s interesting. I never thought anyone bothered to read my bag-related ramblings LOL! But clearly, some of you do, thank you!

So, I took a look at one of my many online shopping carts, where I hold my wishlist items as and when the fancy strikes, and one bag jumped out at me – the Gucci Soho Disco. I held it in my online shopping cart in a few different colours. Yes, this is a bag I’m lusting after, so please feel free to talk me into or out of it! 😛

Hej! Will this Classic Gaston Luga Backpack suit your lifestyle as it does mine?

14 Comments

I have, what seems like a lifetime choice of bags in my bag closet, and yet, the one style I’ve been gravitating towards in recent times, is the backpack. I’d sclep around in a casual outfit, toting my things in one of two backpacks I own. So, when Gaston Luga said “Hej!” all the way from Stockholm, Sweden and asked if I might like to try out their new range of backpacks, I said “Tack så mycket!“ (“Thank you very much!” in Swedish – No I don’t speak Swedish. My limit of Swedish ends at “Ikea” LOL)

Gaston Luga is a new Swedish brand specialising in backpacks with canvas and leather bodies. The minimalistic designs sit well with the current trend of minimalism and the clean, simple lines of Scandinavian design. They have a few different ranges, but I picked one in the classic range, in the very practical Black on Black colour – black leather accessories on black canvas.

There is a reason I picked this design, which I’ll tell you about, and I’ll also show you what fits in my Gaston Luga Classic Backpack, and if you’re interested in it, I also have a discount code! 😀
