I think I need a rucksack!

For the first time since high school (the 90s!) I am eyeing up rucksacks, especially the ethnic ones. The idea of free hands seems to make sense (makes it easy to dance, too!) and with so many colourful ones around its hard not to fall for them this spring. Yes they are cool again, and why not? Here is a selection of vintage and handmade ones from Etsy:
