My Review

Bags are essential items in our everyday life. Backpacks especially because it helps to keep our body healthy by putting less stress to our body. So having the right backpack is our homework. 

Recently, I came across a backpack from Gaston Luga. This brand of backpacks is new to me. But their backpack design really attracts me. 

First impression, seldom I buy my bags that came in a nice box properly sealed. But my backpack from Gaston Luga came sealed in a nice black box.
