Adults should use backpacks! I used to be against them, thinking "They're not suitable for work..." but when I tried one out, it was amazing.

When you walk around town, don't you notice that the number of people carrying backpacks to work has increased dramatically?

Backpacks, which were previously considered taboo in the business world, have now fully accepted and are used by a large number of business people.

Originally, I worked in sales at a financial institution, so I wondered if a backpack was a bit of a strange choice for a business setting, but after using the backpack myself, I found it to be amazing, so I would like to give you an honest and honest review.

Popular backpacks from "HushTug"

Let me introduce myself again. My name is Toda, and I am the representative of the leather brand HushTug.

It's in the middle of the photo

The products used this time are from HushTug, the leather brand he runs himself, so you might be thinking this is just a promotional ad, but let me just ask you one thing.

To be honest, even though it was our own product, I used to work in a financial institution, so although it may be an old-fashioned opinion, I was against backpacks in business situations.

This is an item that would never have been an option for me to use in my life.

We didn't even think that it was something that an adult businessman in his 30s or older would use, but when we started selling it, we sold over xx units in just a few days, and we also received many positive reviews.

Naturally, the customers who buy from me are not all young people; most of them are in their 30s and 40s like me, and some are even older than 60.

Backpacks that I used to think were childish

However, seeing how highly rated it was by people of all age groups, my heart was moved and I decided to actually give it a try.

To tell you the results, it was so great that I confronted the employee who recommended it to me, asking, "Why didn't you tell me about it earlier?"

From here, I'd like to introduce three reasons why I personally feel backpacks are recommended for adults.

① The most important thing is how lightweight it is. "It's so easy to commute to work."

The first thing I felt was that it was incredibly easy and convenient to have both hands free when commuting. I never want to go back to having to carry a bag and not being able to use one hand.

- When riding the train (you can leave it on your shoulder if you hold it close to your stomach)
・Commuting by bicycle feels good (I sometimes rent one through an app and use it for exercise)
・It's convenient to have one hand free even when holding an umbrella (for answering sudden phone calls, etc.)

This is a situation that adults often experience. Commuting is something that happens basically every day on weekdays, so reducing this stress is a huge benefit.

2. The size is just right! "The size of work items +1"

I always carry things like those in the photo below, but in addition to that I can easily fit a lunch box, water bottle, fitness gear, etc.

I often travel on business to meet with local craftsmen, and for overnight trips the bag has plenty of storage space. What's more, it's made of genuine leather and has a simple design, so I can take it to business meetings without any problems and use it as is, making it extremely useful when I'm on business trips.

3. It can be worn with any outfit. "Genuine leather and square shape for a formal look."

What I noticed while carrying the backpack myself, and also while reading customer reviews, is that "genuine leather backpacks can surprisingly be used with any outfit."

Even with suits and setups, Genuine leather × square × The simple design makes it look smart, and while a business bag might be a bit awkward to wear with casual clothes, this backpack will give you a stylish look even when you go out with the family or on a date.

This might not suit such a person.

However, Of course, there are some people for whom backpacks just don't suit them.

These people are "people who want to dress very formally" or "people who always have very few possessions."

For example, the visual appearance of a backpack would not be a good match for a sales representative who does not want to give off any sense of casualness.

Also, for people who usually only carry a smartphone and a wallet, it will be overkill and a mismatch.

Made in Japan genuine leather Exceptional value for money for a backpack

High quality, especially Made in Japan genuine leather backpack Although it can't be helped to some extent because genuine leather is a high-quality material, it still tends to be expensive.

When I actually looked into it, I found that there were similar products made of sturdy genuine leather. You'll find that it's not uncommon to see backpacks selling for around 100,000 yen or even more.

Normally, products are produced in factories and then shipped through several other companies before reaching customers, but HushTug manages everything from production to sales in-house, allowing us to offer genuine leather at affordable prices.

It sells for about half the price of other genuine leather brands, so even if you ignore the bias of it being a brand run by the owner himself, I can highly recommend it for its great value for money.

HushTug products are not sold in department stores or shops, so they can basically only be purchased through our online store.
