JanSport Skip Yowell 2011 Fall/Winter Backpacks

With the mentioning of JanSport many of us immediately reminisce on the flagship, two-zip design from our grade school days. What you may not realize however, is that JanSport helped revolutionize the backpack industry during its infant years of the 1960s, as they developed and mastered the external framed traveling bag. Today, the Californian outerwear company announced their recent collection paying homage to co-founder and original designer, Skip Yowell. Engineered for the urbanite explorer, this series offers wonderfully crafted leather backpacks designed to allow easy transition from one lifestyle to another. This limited edition collection will be available at select JanSport retailers this season.
