Practical urban style: that’s the foundation of John Peters New York. Great for students and professionals alike, JPNY backpacks are some of the most useful, stolid, and sturdy bags out there.

The whole John Peters New York bag and backpack collection is worth a look, but here are three bags at which you’ll definitely want to take a second look!

1. The John Peters New York Flap Backpack: Our best-seller and most favorite backpack, the flap backpack is unique enough to have inspired copies all over the world. The main compartment closes with a drawstring, which maximizes the internal space, and the top flap has its own pocket. Although it doesn’t look bulky, the flap backpack can handle a lot stuff! It comes in a variety of awesome colors, such as the beautiful royal blue in the link above.

2. The John Peters New York Big Apple Backpack: Like the city for which it is named, the Big Apple is an extra size up, a great urban backpack for busy students with busy lives. With two main compartments and an outside front pocket, it offers excellent interior organization and space. Practical details, such as the front zip to quickly access the main compartment, are examples of the things that make JPNY so user-friendly.

3. The 6011 John Peters New York Messenger Bag: You can’t take about JPNY without mentioning the line of messenger bags, just as solid as the backpacks. The 6011 is one of the newest models, just introduced this year. It has a nice compact shape that makes it excellent for biking, skateboarding, or even squeezing onto packed subways, but lacks no details or space. The outside is protected with tougher nylon to keep your things safe as you swing it, toss it, and ride with it!

We love these John Peters New York bags, but don’t take our word for it! Head over to www.johnpetersnewyork.com to browse the full collection and decide on your own favorite!
