ruck-tote
The shape of the bag is a slightly irregular pentagon, which shifts the center of gravity, and the heavier the contents are, the more the handles turn sideways, making it feel like a one-shoulder backpack. If you tilt the bag slightly, the opening turns upwards, so it can be used like a tote. The details and metal fittings of the shoulder strap are as "backpack-like" as possible, and the fabric is deliberately made of "tote-like" canvas, so that the hybrid nature of the two is not only functional but also visually distinctive.

Available in two colors and two sizes.
The "Large" size is a size larger than the first Ruck-Tote model, making it easier to put things in and take them out. It also has an additional inner pocket, improving storage capacity.
The "Small" size is a sacoche type bag for those who want to keep their luggage to a minimum and move around lightly.
