Phone, cards, keys. The strap adjusts up to 90 cm, so it sits exactly where you want it.

02

Backpack, 8L

14" laptop, A4 notepad, hoodie, snacks. Both hands free as soon as the day demands it.

03

The change

One movement, under ten seconds, without repacking. Nobody believes it is possible. Until they see it.

Why this backpack for women

Not hiking, not school. Built for cities, commutes, and days that change the plan.

8L

Enough, not too much

A 14" laptop, an A4 notepad and a light jacket fit inside. A hiking backpack would be three sizes too big.

10s

A mode instead of a second bag

If you start crossbody in the morning and need your hands free in the evening, you would normally have to repack. Here, it is the same bag.

90cm

A strap that goes along

Adjustable up to 90 cm. Over the jacket, under the coat, across the body while cycling.

Frequently asked questions

Which backpack is right for me?

Eight litres is enough for city use, commuting and office work. That is room for a laptop, an A4 notepad and a jacket without the backpack dominating your back. A larger pack is only necessary for hiking or overnight trips.

Which is better, a shoulder bag or a backpack?

Both, depending on the hour. Crossbody is faster to reach and reads lighter with a coat. A backpack spreads the weight across both shoulders and frees your hands. This bag is both, so the question does not have to be answered in the morning.

How many litres should a daypack hold?

For a city day with a laptop, 8 to 12 litres is enough. Backpack mode here is 8 litres and takes a 14" laptop, an A4 notepad and a light jacket.

Which backpack is best for laptops?

One where the laptop lies flat against your back instead of sliding around the main compartment. Up to 14 inches fits in backpack mode; crossbody mode keeps room for the essentials.

Which backpack color goes with everything?

The darkest colorway in the range if the bag should stay quiet, a muted green if it should read calm. The brighter ones are for days when the bag is the outfit. All 7 are the same bag underneath.

Is the backpack waterproof?

Water-resistant, not waterproof. The polyester handles drizzle and the ride from bike to front door. It is not a dry bag for a full day of rain.

A women's backpack that doesn't know the day ahead.

Most women's backpacks are designed with a roll-top. The city backpack is too small as soon as you add a laptop. The laptop backpack looks like something you'd find in a conference room once the workday is over. And the shoulder bag that seemed perfect in the morning is the wrong choice for cycling.

So Enganyo isn't building another backpack, but a bag with two modes. In crossbody mode it offers 2 litres of space for a phone, cards, and keys. If the day grows, the same bag opens up to an 8-litre backpack accommodating a laptop up to 14 inches, an A4 notepad, a hoodie, and snacks. The switch is a single movement, taking less than ten seconds, without having to unpack anything.

The material is water-resistant polyester. It withstands the journey from your bike to your front door without making the bag heavy. The strap is adjustable up to 90 cm, so it sits securely even over a winter jacket. Designed in Berlin, manufactured in Europe.

7 colors, the same dimensions: Lilac Rebel, Cold Flame, Purple Voltage, Totally Blackout, Night Rush, Moss Attack, Acid Garden. Some are for days when you don't want the bag to speak for itself. The rest are for days when it is the outfit.

If you tend to wear a crossbody bag in the mornings and rarely need your hands free, take a look at the same bag from the other side. It's the same product, the same 7 colors, just the other half.

One bag. Two modes. 7 colors.
