| Me rocking my Kanken bag |
It seems like just yesterday when backpacks were considered tragically uncool for anyone too old to be part of the grade school crowd. These days, however, things have changed, and the backpack has made a huge comeback. Those who prefer not to lug around huge rucksacks will be pleased to know that in line with one of the hottest new trends of 2014, there’s a whole range of stylish mini backpacks on the market this season that are not only perfect for adults but also for trendy little mini me's.

Here are our top picks
Shinola Mini Backpack
The leather backpack is given an update with Shinola’s mini backpack made of artisanal leather. The clean lines and lovingly hand-stitched seams show incredible attention to detail, and the structured rectangular shape is hip in a minimalist way. The bag comes in a range of enticing colors that can be viewed at Shinola.com.
Fjällräven Kanken Mini
This pint-sized spin on Fjällräven’s iconic Kanken, which has become a staple of hipsters everywhere, isn’t as ungainly as the larger original but still comes in a variety of kid-friendly colors that’s perfect for the young at heart.

MARC by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Mariska Backpack
If you’re looking for a basic design that goes with anything, MARC by Marc Jacobs’ take on the classic mini backpack is versatile enough to go with a wide range of outfits. The pebbled leather makes the bag appear more grown up than a canvas or nylon rucksack would, which makes for an easy transition to backpack carrying, especially if the last backpack you owned contained high school textbooks.
