The Business of Bags
Morin explained the reasoning behind the growing trend of backpack use for business.
"What's interesting is that the Gen Xers are the ones that are influencing that trend-the movement away from the strict business brief to the backpack-and they're the ones that are sort of challenging the notion that your bag has to be the way it looked years and years ago," he said. Airlines also have played a role. By charging more to check luggage, more travelers opt to carry on their suitcase, leaving many to place their backpack under their seat or at their feet due to lack of room in the overhead bins.
