White daisies scatter across the rounded flap and the bottom band of this backpack, printed straight onto pale natural cork. The wide strip in between is left plain, so the dark veining of the cork stays visible. The stated size is 24x27cm.
A dark fabric binding, top-stitched in white, runs along the flap and the edges. The flap pulls shut over a drawstring with knotted ends, and a brown faux leather handle sits on top.
The print sits in two bands rather than covering the whole bag. Small white daisies on pale natural cork fill the rounded flap and reappear along the bottom, while the wide central strip stays bare and lets the cork show its own markings. Because cork is rarely uniform, those darker streaks break up the beige and give each bag a slightly different front. The dark binding around the flap, stitched in white, draws the outline and gives the front a clear shape.
At 24x27cm this is a small backpack, and worth knowing before you order. The stated height rules out one thing straight away: at 29.7cm an A4 sheet is taller than the bag, so a ring binder or a folder is out of the question. Think day bag rather than work bag. If you would rather have more room, or a different way of closing a bag, the rest of the women's backpack range offers other formats and other fastenings.
Turn it round and the back is plain: one panel of pale cork, the same dark binding, and a single printed band along the top. The brown faux leather straps run from the base up towards the handle, and their gold-tone sliders let you set the length. The handle on top is there for the short walk from the car or across a platform, when a backpack is more trouble than it is worth. At the front, the flap pulls shut over a drawstring with knotted ends.

The beige reads as a neutral, so it sits happily with denim, with a cream knit, or with a printed midi dress. One word of warning: the daisies are the pattern here, so a second floral in the same outfit tends to fight them. Plain colours and stripes are the easier company.

And if it is the cork rather than the shape that appeals, the same material turns up on other styles, including crossbody bags and flap bags.
