Salkan everyday backpack
British backpack brand that clearly thinks about the journey, not just the look.
Two months ago, I discovered Salkan — a small British backpack brand that clearly thinks about the journey, not just the look. I got their 20L — and as a lifelong backpack obsessive, I have to say: it’s built like a proper expedition tool. Sturdy, structured, quietly confident.
It lacks the Barcelona-style marketing shine of TropicFeel (whose packs I also admire), but Salkan’s design feels lived-in rather than staged — you sense it’s made for miles, not Instagram ads.
Slightly odd that the best colour (imo) — that deep blue from their ads — isn’t actually for sale. But still, this is one of the few everyday-carry bags I trust equally for a hike or a workday.
And yes — it’s the first pack with a hook instead of a zip/lock on the main compartment that actually works for me.
