The Business of Bags
"The popularity of business bags is only growing, Morin concluded. "Business never stops, people always have things to bring places, so you're going to need something to put those in and so I would say it's a category that is going to continue to grow," he said.
Rise of the Backpack
Morin mentioned that there is one bag category that is rising rapidly, and will continue to flourish in the future: backpacks. "[Backpacks are] just way more practical than anything else that's ever really been used," he explained.Backpacks have become the go-to bags for both business and travel. Even those you'd least expect are picking up a backpack in lieu of a briefcase. "I've seen lawyers recently on planes with backpacks," he said. "I've seen politicians on planes with backpacks as well. I met a guy in the music industry on a flight to L.A. the other day, and he had a backpack. It's just interesting to see that it really spans the gamut when it comes to executives."
