Sacs à Dos

For school backpacks, it is recommended that the weight does not exceed 10-15% of the child or teenager’s body weight. A child weighing 30 kg, for example, should not carry more than 3-4.5 kg in a backpack. At RAG Tailors, our school backpacks are designed with lightweight but resistant materials to minimize base weight and maximize load capacity. In addition, we offer models with padded shoulder straps and lumbar support, distributing the weight evenly and reducing pressure on the back, shoulders and spine.

Travel and trekking backpacks have different features for different needs. Travel backpacks focus on internal organization with multiple compartments, easy access, compatibility with carry-on luggage regulations and a discreet design. Trekking backpacks, on the other hand, focus on weight distribution, with external fastening systems, waterproof fabrics, reinforced structure and ventilation systems. At RAG Tailors we offer both options, from compact 25-40 litre travel backpacks to technical 50-70 litre trekking backpacks for longer expeditions.

High-quality ergonomic backpacks for everyday use, such as those available from RAG Tailors, feature S-shaped shoulder straps that conform to the contours of your shoulders, a padded back panel with ventilation channels, a stabilizing chest belt, balanced weight distribution, and well-positioned compartments to keep your center of gravity close to your body. The design should include lightweight yet durable materials and reinforced stitching. Also look for padded areas for fragile items like laptops and a structure that maintains its shape even when not fully packed.

To maximize the durability of your backpack, clean it regularly following the specific instructions for the material. For synthetic fabric backpacks, such as those from the RAG Tailors standard collection, we recommend cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding the washing machine. For leather or premium materials backpacks, use products specifically designed for these materials. Always dry in the shade, away from direct heat sources. Avoid overloading the backpack beyond its capacity and regularly check zips, seams and straps. For long-term storage, store it clean, dry and partially filled to maintain its shape.

For children aged 3-6, we recommend lightweight, compact backpacks (8-12 litres) with fun designs and adjustable straps. For children aged 7-11, 15-20 litre backpacks with more compartments and lumbar support start to become important. For teenagers, 20-30 litre backpacks with compartments for laptops and notebooks are more suitable. RAG Tailors offers school backpacks for all ages, with options for personalisation through embroidery or screen printing. All our children's backpacks are tested for material safety and strength, ensuring durability to keep up with your child's development.

For long trips or professional travelers, backpacks must combine high capacity (40-60 liters), durability and smart organization. RAG Tailors’ premium models include features such as full front access like a suitcase, separate compartments for clean/dirty clothes, secure anti-theft pockets on the back, padded laptop sleeve and waterproof or water-resistant material. Details such as retractable straps, external attachment points, integrated wheels on certain models and compatibility with the carry-on baggage rules of major airlines are essential for discerning travelers.

Today’s trends in everyday backpacks combine modern functionality with refined aesthetics. At RAG Tailors, we’re seeing a rise in demand for minimalistic styles in neutral tones with leather or metal accents, “theft-resistant” backpacks with back openings, sustainable models made from recycled or vegan materials, and versatile designs that work in both the office and casual settings. Features such as integrated USB ports for charging devices, dedicated compartments for technology, and innovative waterproof and anti-odour fabrics are increasingly popular. Women’s and men’s backpacks no longer follow rigid distinctions, but adapt to each wearer’s personal style.
