Minimal Backpacks - Designed with simplicity in mind
Minimal backpacks are defined by what they leave out. Rather than multiple compartments, technical features or complex construction, the focus is on clarity — a single, well-designed space that works effortlessly for everyday use.
This makes them particularly well suited to lighter routines, where ease and simplicity matter more than capacity or organisation.

RAINS brings a distinct perspective to minimal design, combining Scandinavian simplicity with practical materials. The result is a collection of backpacks that feel both functional and refined, with a focus on durability and ease of use.
The signature waterproof fabric adds an extra layer of practicality, while the clean silhouettes ensure each piece remains visually understated.
Compact backpacks
Ideal for lighter days. A good choice if you carry only the essentials and prefer a smaller, more streamlined silhouette.

- Internal organisation is intentionally minimal
- Best suited to light or moderate carry
- Designed for simplicity rather than maximum capacity
For those who prefer a more structured or highly organised bag, other styles may be more suitable. For everything else, this simplicity is part of the appeal.
At Lifestory, we focus on products that combine functionality with thoughtful design. Our minimal backpack collection is intentionally selective, highlighting styles that feel easy to use, well-proportioned and visually balanced.
These are backpacks designed to fit seamlessly into everyday life — practical, understated and made to be used regularly.
