Manchester Toast Rack Backpack (Rucksack)

Gorgeous backpack with a spacious inside compartment (with a pocket for your laptop), and a hidden back pocket for safekeeping your most valuable items, celebrating the iconic curves of the Manchester Toast Rack (Hollings Building). Designed by L.C. Howitt in 1960, this Grade II listed landmark in Fallowfield is a rare British example of Googie architecture—a space-age style of bold angles and sweeping arches, but here fused with brutalism in an utterly unique design. Formerly the heart of MMU's campus (and famous for its "Poached Egg" neighbour), it remains a beloved symbol of Manchester's eccentric modernist history.
