28 Bizarre Backpack Designs

From Sci-Fi Snow Monster Bookbags to Big Lizard Satchels

— January 26, 2014 — Life-Stages
These bizarre backpack designs are ideal for anyone looking to turn heads as they head to school or work.

When it comes to carrying belongings around like books and laptops, having a backpack is a great way to conveniently do so without putting too much weight on one shoulder. While some people would opt for designs that are simple and unassuming, these bizarre knapsacks are catered toward consumers that aren't afraid of standing out and making a statement. Including eccentric design inspirations that range from such things as cartoon monsters, insects and elements of anatomy, these slightly unnerving designs will surely make any book bag pop with originality.

From turtle shell bags to those that feature body parts, these bizarre backpacks will surely add a humorously odd touch to any outing.
