HP Lightweight Series 2020

Designers: HP Design, Palo Alto, California, USA
Manufacturer: HP Inc., Palo Alto, California, USA


Many bags are designed for the professional, but few can retain their professional appearance when packed full of belongings. Here, HP designers wanted to make something that looks clean and modern when full or empty.

Students entering university know what they want, and know what they don’t. They want a bag that’s fresh and modern, and doesn’t advertise a company. Their personal identify and sense of fashion is more important than a corporate brand.  And the trend research bears this out.

The HP Lightweight Series bags were designed to be modern, stylish, and affordable. The line includes a backpack, topload, sleeve, and pouch.

The heathered body material mixed with vegan leather panels on the pockets offer a level of sophistication while remaining trendy. The bags are light and minimalist, but designed to keep their shape when filled. Students no longer need to lug around large books like they did in the past. They need comfortable bags that can hold their computer and electronic accessories. The expanded front pockets and interior panels allows users to keep their items organized without complication. The padded straps on the backpack and topload make the bags comfortable to carry. The sleeve and pouch offer additional protection and organization and can fit into the backpack’s main compartment. The backpack has a dedicated water bottle pocket, clip for keys in its pouch, and trolley pass-through for travel with a trolley suitcase. The topload has a clip for keys, pens, and card slots in its pouch. The sleeve has an elastic band for a pen, and pockets in the pouch.
