Post-high school, I never thought I’d wear a backpack again. And yet, my new overnight bag is a backpack. Well, sort of. The Caraa Studio is a shape-shifting bag that’s a backpack one second, crossbody the next, and then finally a two-handled satchel to cover any kind of transport you could need.
It’s sleek and minimal but has some secrets too. The back panel and shoulder straps are padded and covered in moisture-wicking mesh for comfort and breathability. The large interior compartment has pockets for everything from your shoes (in their own waterproof pouch), to your Kindle, to your gym pass. The exterior pocket has a vertical zip for easy-access of things like your phone, external battery, passport, and more.
As someone that tends to do overnights on weekends at friends’ or visiting my parents, the Caraa Studio has been a game changer for me. On nights where I’m not trekking with my laptop, I can stash a change of clothes and shoes, makeup and toiletries, and my Kindle to read on my commute easily in this low-profile bag. I can toss it over my shoulder if I’m packing lightly or easily attached the backpack straps to free up my hands for whatever else I need to carry.
