The Backpack Tote from Colorado–based Topo Designs is a multipurpose accessory that captures both an outdoor and urban spirit. The streamlined tote is designed with utility in mind, whether it is used running around town or on a day hike. Topo Designs took the silhouette of a classic tote, and added backpack straps so the user can benefit from a two-way carry system, depending on his or her preference.
