I do not need a new backpack, I do not need a new backpack, I do not need a new backpack… but if I did, this is the one I’d get.

I am always a sucker for a lightweight, nylon backpack — and this one from Zella looks fabulous. I like the exterior zip pocket and the interior pockets, not to mention the pockets on the sides for bottles of water.

The Zella bag is available in black and a pretty “grey thunder” for $49.99; after the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale it’ll go back up to $65.

(Hmmn…. you know, I don’t have a grey backpack…)

(If you’re unfamiliar with the NAS, they mark down NEW fall merchandise for a limited time in the summer.)
