The journey of the Backpack

Backpacks

The origin of the first ever backpack dates back to 1877 when “Henry Miriam” developed the first knapsack for the US military.                                  

“Camille Poirior” further improved the backpack with the Dulith Backpack featuring a head strap and buckles. Thus the evolution of the backpacks has been a centuries old process. As  sturdier fabrics, lighter buckles, flexible designs were invented the classic backpack progressed to what it is today. Backpacks have traversed boundaries of the basic laptop bag and the age old school bag. The latter two have recently been quite influenced by the designs, look and mobility of the current backpacks.

Since the backpacks are used extensively in all walks of life and to satisfy the ever-growing demand; the international and national market has grown alongside it. The most famous international brands currently include names like Tortuga, Peak Design, WandRD, Osprey, North Face, Matador and the extremely known  and Widel available ones like Nike and Reebok.
