Crazy cat lady who loves afternoon tea, kawaii Japanese fashion, and all things Sanrio.

Japanese- and Scandinavian-style backpacks have a very distinct look - minimalistic yet roomy, and often with squarish or rectangular silhouettes. It is for this very reason that they are popular, especially among those who often carry laptops, tablet PCs, or a sizeable load of other items with them on a regular basis.

Brands like Anello, Kanken, and Gaston Luga have become some hot favourites when it comes to such bags, but here’s another contender: MAH. This fairly new brand is now in Singapore, with their backpacks, totes, and more being sold on their official Shopee Mall store at affordable prices.

MAH’s backpacks come in a myriad of colourways, from pastel to dark and vivid, bringing to mind Pantone’s mesmerising colour charts. We’re most tempted by the ones in muted shades which are sweet and feminine while remaining functional.

Most of them, like this gorgeous purple and grey 14-inch backpack ($42) are fully waterproof, allowing for your precious electronic devices, books, and papers to stay dry even if you unwittingly get caught in the rain.

These solid-coloured 14-inch backpacks ($48) are also waterproof all around, thanks to the PU leather (pleather) used - a cheaper and vegan-friendly alternative to animal leather.

Interestingly, some of their items like this white backpack ($48) are made out of recycled plastic bottles and cotton. Specifically, this particular one is made of 20 units of cotton and 15 plastic bottles.

There’s also a smart-looking Cambridge bag ($42) and front buckle ($44) version of the eco-friendly backpack along with a sage green ($42) option.

If such angular designs don’t strike your fancy, you can always go for the standard round backpacks ($46) which currently come in 7 colours including purple and rose grey.

Those who travel light and prefer less bulky styles can go for this slim messenger bag (from $23) in 9 shades.
