Sandqvist Andor Blue
As much as we love the comfort of a backpack, it can be hard to find a good one — lots are too nostalgic for college days. Sandqvist backpacks hit that sweet spot. They’re not school-kid-looking. It’s not just clothes that can be versatile, Sandqvist’s Andor backpack can flash between formal and casual easily. Andor Blue is a classic backpack with advanced functions made of organic cotton-canvas and high-quality leather with metal zipper closure.

It also features adjustable cotton webbing shoulder straps. Swedish brand Sandqvist makes timeless bags that will last for ages and look good always. We love their Andor backpack for the way it mixes leather elements with a cotton canvas body. The canvas means it drops nicely against the back, and the leather front helps it keep a sharp, first-class silhouette. In the brand’s own words, their bags are as “uncomplicated and beautiful, with clear Swedish heritage.” Its stylish but straightforward bag that would neatly store a laptop and daily essentials. Its the perfect blend of fashion and function.

Founded in 2004 by Swede Anton Sandqvist, his brand has played a significant role in putting the backpack back on the fashion map. Sandqvist produces back-packs that combine high-quality materials with modest and considered design.
Sandqvist Tyre is a brilliant representative of the brand, being the perfect choice for the adventurous city rambler, due to its multi-functionality, robust durability and generous capacity.
