Embroidered goods which aren't vintage often look a bit vulgar, but ASOS have nailed it with their reclaimed vintage backpack.
So leave the patent designer handbag at home this summer in favour of this guy. It's great for toting around on scuzzy planes/boats/buses over Europe - and will totally make youfeel like you're back on your gap year. Which is a truly joyous thing. And if you didn't take a gap year, then this backpack is totally your way to pretend you did. Winners all round.
