Ditch Your Handbags for Backpacks in 2025—Here Are the Most Popular Ones to Buy

Backpacks for women go beyond a mere trend. Often associated with childhood and school days, they are considered a timeless piece of accessory that carriers the contents of its wearer’s inner world. Adorned with signatures of friends and embroidered patches, they hold memories and stories intact. A backpack also bears witness to countless travels and adventures, is the perfect companion for busy work days and, why not, even a practical substitute for the handbag.

In fact, the backpack has recently acquired a new fashion value, becoming a viable alternative to the tote bag. Just as comfortable and capacious, it can contain everything you need for a busy day out. The fashionistas, however, are also sporting designer models such as the iconic Prada’s Re-Nylon and Chanel’s quilted leather backpack, as an accessory to add character to their looks.

For you not to be confused by the plethora of models found online, we’ve put together a selection of backpacks to help you choose the best style for you (and your needs): from the city backpack which replaces the handbag, to the technical one that is a perfect option for travel, and even the practical one for the office, which can hold everything you need.

Leather backpacks for the evening outings

First, we delve into the stylish backpacks, which (along with the designer backpacks we will get to in a moment) prove to be a practical and trendy substitute to the classic handbag – both for daytime in chic shades, such as butter yellow or powder pink, and for evening outings in classic black leather.

Designer backpacks to make a statement

A branded backpack is always on the wishlist, although there is a tendency to set funds aside towards a handbag, perhaps with the thought of using it more. The following backpacks are luxurious yet highly practical miniatures to keep in your wardrobe, right next to other bags from the fashion brands you love most.

Laptop backpacks for work

For the practical personalities, you can’t miss the work backpacks, especially the ones with a special pocket to hold your laptop (keeping it safe) and everything you need to survive overwhelming work days. Opt for models in black leather (or imitation leather), perfect even for those with a minimal style, or coloured ones.

The casual and practical backpacks

Practical, roomy and beautiful: this is the backpack for you if you don’t feel like carrying your handbag during the day or if you’ve grown tired of the fabric tote bag. It’s convenient if you commute a lot and want to go around the city comfortably with a backpack on your shoulder. It’s also ideal if you like to go for long walks or if you’re fond of picnics in the park and refuse the idea of a duffel bag.

The backpacks that double as travel companions

The sportiest solution for traveling, because it replaces the suitcase: perfect for weekend getaways, but also for those who like to go hiking – as well as the ideal choice for on-the-road trips as well, because they are practical and roomy, shock-resistant, and full of practical pockets and compartments to divide your travel stuff, including your water bottle.
