Find Your Perfect Backpack
Lipault backpacks are designed around one simple belief: that carrying your day should feel effortless. Light enough to forget you're wearing it, organised enough to find everything at a glance and styled with the Parisian confidence that runs through everything we make, every rucksack in our range is built to keep up with however your day unfolds. From the desk to the departure gate, this is where your journey starts.
Find the Right Backpack for Every Kind of Day
Our backpack range is organised into categories, each designed for a specific way of carrying:
- Laptop backpacks: the daily carry for commuters and professionals, built around dedicated laptop compartments and smart organisation for everything else your working day demands.
- Underseat backpacks: compact rucksacks designed to travel free under the seat on most airlines, combining hands-free carrying with fee-free travel on a single fare.
- Travel backpacks: rucksacks for adventurous trips, with generous laptop compartments, rear trolley loops and formats sized for free underseat travel on low-cost airlines.
- Backpacks with wheels: the best of both carrying worlds, switching between a wearable rucksack and a rolling trolley whenever the journey demands it.
- Convertible backpacks: versatile designs that adapt between carrying styles, from backpack to shoulder bag and rolling trolley to wearable rucksack.
A Collection for Every Kind of Carry
Lipault backpacks are available across our signature collections, each with a personality of its own. Lost In Berlin leans structured and urban, with a matte finish built to shrug off the knocks of a busy commute. City Plume goes softer and lighter, an easy everyday companion that barely registers on the shoulder. What they share is the part that matters: thoughtful organisation, comfortable carrying and that joyful Parisian colour instinct that makes a Lipault bag recognisable at fifty paces.
Built for the Way You Actually Carry
Our backpacks share a set of features designed for real daily life. Dedicated laptop compartments keep your device cushioned and secure throughout the journey. Hidden security pockets on the back panel keep your most valuable items close and out of reach on busy commutes. A rear strap on most models slides directly over a suitcase handle, so your backpack and your luggage move together through the airport without any awkward balancing act. And our backpacks are light enough to wear all day without noticing the weight, because a bag that slows you down is no bag at all.

FAQ
What features do Lipault backpacks have?
Lipault backpacks share a set of practical features designed for real daily use. Our models include a dedicated laptop compartment, with the size varying depending on the style. Multiple interior and exterior pockets keep your belongings organised and easy to find, while hidden security pockets on the back panel keep your most valuable items safe on busy commutes. Most models also feature a rear strap that slides directly over a suitcase handle, making it easy to move both bags together through the airport. Depending on the model, you can also choose between different carrying modes, from classic backpack to shoulder bag or rolling trolley.
What is the storage capacity of Lipault backpacks?
Capacity varies by model to suit different needs. Our more compact styles offer around 12 litres, perfect for daily essentials and a laptop. Our larger travel styles offer up to around 30 litres, giving you room for a laptop, documents, a change of clothes and everything else a full day demands. Whichever size you choose, every centimetre is designed to be as usable as possible, with organised pockets and compartments that make the most of the available space. Exact capacities are listed on each individual product page.
Are Lipault backpacks lightweight?
Yes. Lightness is one of the things Lipault is best known for, and it applies to our backpack range just as much as our luggage. Several of our most popular models weigh under 1kg. This means you can pack all your daily essentials and carry them comfortably without straining your shoulders or your airline weight allowance. The exact weight of each model is listed on the individual product pages, so you always know exactly what you are carrying before you head out the door.
Can I use a Lipault backpack as cabin luggage on a flight?
Yes, several of our backpacks are designed to meet the personal item dimensions accepted free of charge by major airlines. Our underseat backpacks are sized specifically for free underseat travel on low-cost airlines. Most of our other backpacks also fall within the personal item allowances accepted by major carriers, though dimensions and weight limits vary by airline and fare type. We always recommend checking your specific airline's policy before you travel, as allowances can change, and every product page lists exact dimensions so you can compare before you buy.
What is the difference between the City Plume and Lost In Berlin backpack collections?
It mostly comes down to material and finish. City Plume is crafted from soft twill nylon, giving it a relaxed feel that works as easily on a weekend as it does in the office. Lost In Berlin, our premium collection, uses a matte rubber effect material, giving it a more structured shape and better resistance to the scuffs and knocks of a busy commute. Both materials are water-resistant, and both collections share the same organisation and comfort inside, so neither choice means giving anything up. Some models come in both, which makes it purely a question of the finish you prefer.
Are Lipault backpacks suitable for everyone?
Yes. Lipault backpacks are designed with a fluid, gender-neutral approach, built for every body and every way of carrying a day's essentials. Rather than dividing designs by gender, we focus on practicality, comfort and colour, so you can choose a backpack based on what you need and what you love. It is part of a broader philosophy at Lipault: that great design should speak to everyone, whatever their style, their journey or their daily routine.
