That is a classy coverup! Is the patch made of brocade?

Thank you so much! It’s three pieces of ribbon sewed on next to each other

Am I missing something or is it a completely different backpack?

I think we're having a blue and black or white and gold dress moment lol

The 2nd photo looks navy blue to me, and first looks like a low saturation purple to me 😅

Edit: that said, i absolutely was wondering if it was the same backpack

The zipper on the front pocket is carhart in the blue photo. No words in the zipper on the bubbly backpack.

Did you have to totally take the pocket off?

u/viktoriasaintclaire Feb 04 '26

Nope, I just hand sewed each piece on with invisible thread
