There is an actual wolf in the skyLupus, the Wolf, is a genuine constellation in the southern sky beside Centaurus. It is one of the forty-eight catalogued by Ptolemy in the second century, so people have been putting a wolf among the stars for roughly two thousand years.This bag is a modern version of a very old habit rather than a new idea.The print is a wolf's head facing straight out of a deep blue star field, drawn in glowing line rather than in fur: gold and copper down the muzzle, teal across the cheeks, a thin blue edge along the ears, and pale yellow eyes. Above the brow sits a black disc ringed with light, an eclipse held between the ears.Why deep space works on fabricDark grounds hold their colour on textile better than pale ones do, and a star field is built from bright points against black rather than from fine detail. That combination survives printing at any size and looks as good after a year as it did new.It is also the deepest palette in our backpack range, which makes it the one that hides scuffs and daily wear best.What it holdsA laptop in a sleeve, a charger, a notebook, a water bottle upright, lunch and a folded jacket. A full day out or a full day at work.The bag29 x 16 x 42 cm, Oxford fabric and black nylon, foam-lined back panel, air cushion shoulder straps, strong zips.Water resistant rather than fully waterproof: the fabric sheds rain, and the zips and seams are not sealed.Our article on the wolf constellation has the star chart.
