Summer time is wandering time. Just think of all the different festivals, camping opportunities, hiking trips and seaside visits to enjoy!

I don't think there's a better accompaniment to summer wanderlust, than a nice rucksack. It's such a practical item, yet still very fun and quirky.

And they work wonders if you have to stay in the city. I'm sure it'll make you feel better and will bring a smile to your co-commuter's faces too; or at least I'll smile when I see you passing by. When someone is wearing a nice rucksack, I always assume they must be in a playful mode. So, wear one with pride and a cheeky smile!
