Boxer | ShortyLove

From veteran Marc Jacobs handbag designer Sloane Gibney Grossberg, ShortyLove’s Boxer is a backpack and shoulder bag in one. Chic enough for weekend trips and durable enough for any academic course load, the Boxer was designed for all-day comfort. Made from water-resistant nylon twill with a soft drape, it comes in all kinds of stylish colorways, from contrasting solids to blue camo. But what really sets it apart are the fine details, like luxe metal hardware, waxed-cotton cord pulls on the zippers, and signature circular-stitch construction for added strength at pressure points.
