A collection of backpacks of different patterns and colors created in 1906 by a British manufacturer of bags for the navy and now the military, in the 80's, a true object of worship for teenagers of a generation. With or without
dedications and inscriptions, bare of toys and trinkets or walled, fluorescent green and yellow or white reflective stripes of red light canvas, backpack Invicta was the incomparable companion of children and adolescents between the classroom, school trips in buses, waiting at concerts and on outings with friends.
