Yin and Yang Wolf Backpack

You will never see it

An obvious thing that nobody says about backpacks. The design is on the back panel, so the only person who does not get to look at it is the owner.

That is worth thinking about when choosing. A bag print is worn outward, for other people, in the way a t-shirt design is. If you want something you enjoy looking at, that is a wall or a mug rather than a bag.

What you get instead is a bag that is recognisably yours from across a station concourse, which is genuinely useful and the reason distinctive luggage exists.

The symbol suits the format

A white wolf above and a dark one below, facing opposite ways and overlapping across the middle of the panel, each filling the space the other leaves. The ground behind them is pale blue on one side and deep red on the other.

It is often read in the West as good against evil, which is close to the opposite of what it describes. Neither half wins, each contains a seed of the other, and the shape only exists because both are present.

Running corner to corner across a flat panel, it also happens to be the composition that survives being seen at a distance best.
