Imagine a backpack not only practical and stylish, but also inspirational. Artistic accessory company This is Ground specializes in such an item with the Venture backpack, the creative traveler’s dream piece of luggage.

 

From Los Angeles, the company’s owner conceived the design and tested the backpack’s durability and ease of travel all over the world. Made from soft, vegetable-based Italian leather, the backpack comes in two sizes: regular, large enough to fit a 15-inch MacBook; and mini, for a 13-inch MacBook or smaller. The TSA-approved laptop sleeve ensures the ease of going through security without having to remove the computer from the bag.

What’s more: The convenient bag also contains its own WiFi signal for remote workers on the go. Additional storage features include hidden pockets for headphones, power cords, mobile phones, sunglasses and writing utensils. The ingenuity behind the backpack’s design and secluded pockets allow for optimal storage without the bulk of an overstuffed backpack. The sleek square exterior and crisp leather surface provide style and sophistication on the outside of utility.

 

The Venture backpack is available to purchase on This is Ground’s website and comes in two sizes, mini ($750) and regular ($799).
