this unique backpack is an instant classic. drawing inspiration from a boxy shaped backpack that travelers and hikers used to use as one of the earlier designs of backpacks in the early 1900’s. reinforcing it with a wooden frame and checkered shark pattern and luxe interior design for the modern adventurer. i call it the chaturanga shark to pay homage to the first ever board game that featured a chess pattern invented in india called chaturanga board game.. which would evolve into the checkered pattern we all love and know in fashion. the chaturanga is an old indian two-player board game that was invented at least 1,500 years ago and is believed to be the earliest predecessor of the game of chess. the arabians adapted it to a game they called shatranj, which was later embraced by the europeans during the medieval period and, after a few modifications, is now known as chess.
