Long established as purveyors of some of the most iconic sports and leisure items in history (think Chuck Taylor and Jack Purcell), Converse have just added a stylish way to lift the winter gloom and cart your necessaries from A to B. 

I have to confess that it was the pattern which attracted me first, as a self-confessed sucker for native inspired style, particularly if done well. 

Add in a laptop compartment, valuables pocket, headphone opening, and all the strapping and handles you could wish for and it’s clear that this represents form and function at a bargain price for the more discerning gent.

Available now for one month only from Bank Fashion. 

Converse Diagonal Zip Backpack is priced at £30 from www.bankfashion.co.uk
