Merchant & Mills : Francli Day Pack Pattern
A practical day pack designed by Francli Craftwear.
Play with hardy fabrics and unique hardware to create a bespoke pack for everyday life and adventures further afield. With water bottle pockets and internal laptop pocket.
There are 3 different fabric parts to the bag, the contrast (bottom and back piece), the lining and the main fabric of the bag. You can go a little heavier for the contrast fabric as you’ll be putting this down on the floor potentially and the back piece will have wear and tear against your back!
