(1 customer review)

£8.20

The McFly is the perfect backpack for a market, school, beach, or work. The pattern comes in two sizes: (regular) McFly and Mini McFly. The (regular) McFly is big enough to hold a small laptop, A4/letter-size files, books and more. It has wide padded shoulder straps, to make it comfortable for whoever is wearing it. The Mini McFly is a perfect size, as it is not too big to carry around as a casual daily bag while it is just big enough to carry all your essentials!

Both McFly and Mini McFly are zippered top backpacks with adjustable straps, handle, and oval base. The front is shaped using large darts and features a zipper pocket so you can access your belongings quickly whenever you want. The exterior side pockets are perfect to keep a small bottle of drink or an umbrella. The roomy interior also features a zipper and slip pockets so you can stay organized. The perfect backpack for adults, teenagers, and children!
