Sew a round backpack — a sculptural, structured silhouette that's unlike anything else in your wardrobe.
The round shape with elastic cord detailing at the front makes this bag instantly recognisable. Available in two sizes — a compact Small for lighter days, and a roomier Large for everything else. Fully lined, with a zippered main compartment and proper backpack straps. Beginner-friendly with a result that looks seriously impressive.
