Travel and Leisure Backpacks - Designed for life in motion
Travel today is less about heavy luggage and more about flexibility. A good travel backpack should adapt to different moments — a train journey, a weekend stay, or a day spent moving between places.
This collection focuses on backpacks that balance structure with ease, offering enough space for short trips while remaining comfortable and minimal in design.
A closer look
Practical capacity
Enough space for clothing, tech and essentials for 1–3 days away.
Easy to carry
Designed for comfort during longer periods of wear, whether walking through stations, airports or city streets.
Flexible use
Works just as well for travel as it does for everyday carry when you’re back home.
Clean, minimal design
Simple silhouettes that feel considered rather than technical or bulky.
RAINS backpacks offer a simple, reliable approach to travel carry. The waterproof fabric adds practical protection for changing weather, while the minimal design ensures they remain versatile across different settings.
Rather than overcomplicating things with excessive features, the focus is on clarity — a bag that does its job quietly and consistently.
Rolltop backpacks
Ideal for travel when you need flexible capacity. The adjustable opening allows you to pack more when needed, making it a strong choice for weekend trips and unpredictable loads.
Classic backpacks
A structured, dependable option for short travel and everyday use. Best for organised packing and lighter trips.
Compact styles
Perfect for minimalist travel or city breaks where you only need the essentials.
- Best suited for short trips and weekend travel rather than extended journeys
- Internal organisation is intentionally simple
- Works well when paired with packing cubes or light packing systems
- Designed for versatility across travel and everyday use
At Lifestory, we focus on pieces that make everyday movement easier. This travel collection is intentionally curated to include only the most versatile backpacks — styles that work across journeys, daily life and everything in between.
The result is a selection that feels practical without being over-engineered, and minimal without compromising on functionality.
