Frank + Oak has always been a clothing brand recognized for its simple yet trendy designs while maintaining a good price-quality ratio. However, up until now, in its 15 stores spread out mostly in the Montreal and Toronto area, it has only been focused on menswear. That's why I was thrilled when they reached out to me in order to draw attention towards the launch of their Women's Collection which is expected to launch in Fall 2016! There will be an exclusive pre-sale event that you can access by simply signing up by clicking here.
Meanwhile, I have decided to style their Canvas Roll-Top Backpack from their current collection. As the fall school semester slowly approaches, I've been on the hunt for a backpack that would fit my laptop while not being too bulky. For the past few years, I have been a regular tote bag for school and while it did fit pretty much everything I needed, I have finally decided to say goodbye to them (and potentially also goodbye to tilted shoulders or back pain). As my textbooks get chunkier and heavier, spreading the weight between two shoulders feels much better. When I first saw this bag on the Frank + Oak site, I thought the strap closure would slide easily and not hold well as most bags have a zipper. However, this one only has a side pocket with a zipper and the main compartment is closed by a magnetic clip, then rolled. Surprisingly, despite filling the bag, the strap closure holds really firm and the quality of the bag is pretty good too. The only inconvience would be that it takes longer to put and remove things than if it was just a zipper closure. I still think that the rolled up design adds a nice touch and gives it a minimalist effect.
