Is your current backpack due for replacement or do you want to make the switch from shoulder bag to backpack? We can imagine that you won't see the wood for the trees anymore, there are so many different models available! That is why we would like to share five tips with you on what to look for when buying a new backpack.
1. Usage
Before you start looking for a backpack, it is important to ask yourself the following question: "What do I want to use the backpack for? "This will determine the size of the backpack and the features that are useful for you.
Looking for a backpack for school? Then you might want a large backpack with enough storage space for books, notebooks and a laptop or tablet. Backpacks suitable for school: Austin, Belford & Rich.
Are you looking for a backpack for work? Then a modern backpack with a laptop compartment might be the one for you! Backpacks suitable for work: Tokyo, Mack, Rich & Detroit.
Looking for a backpack for everyday use? Then a slightly smaller backpack - one with enough storage space for a face mask, wallet, keys, phone, and a bottle of water - will probably do the trick. Backpacks suitable for everyday use: Danai, Amanda, Saar & Dali.
2. Laptop compartment
Do you prefer to travel with a backpack and take your laptop everywhere? Then a backpack with a laptop compartment is an absolute must-have for you. Our extensive collection consists of many different models, suitable for 13 inch up to 15.6-inch laptops. Do you have a larger laptop? Check out our business bags for 17- and 18-inch laptops.

3. Additional features
All of our backpacks are available in multiple colours. Most models are available in brown, black and cognac. All our bags are equipped with an organizer: this way you can easily store your pens and cards. Some bags also have special extra features. ↴
Trolley strap
A trolley strap is very suitable if you use your bag for (business) trips. Because of the trolley strap you can easily put your backpack on your suitcase, so you don't have to carry this, sometimes heavy, bag.
Bags with a trolley strap: Austin & Belford.
Bottle holder
A bottle holder is a storage compartment that has been specially designed to hold a drinking bottle. Ideal for when you are on the road for a long time or during a hot summer day!
Bags with bottle holder: Austin & Rich.
One bag, two looks
Some backpacks have a metal closure on the front of the bag that allows you to change the look of the bag. By fastening the clasp, you can bring the corners together and make the backpack more compact. Want to take more stuff? Just open the clasp. This way you can take even more items with you!
Bags with metal clasp: Nuri, Saar, Manchester.
4. Carrying comfort
Every backpack from The Chesterfield Brand has a leather handle and adjustable shoulder straps that hang comfortably around the shoulder. Some backpacks also have a reinforced back panel, a mesh lining and extra wide shoulder straps for extra comfort. Perfect if you often must carry a lot of (heavy) stuff!
