We love Sarah McNerney’s backpacks! Sarah is the creative force and owner of Winter Project Artist @winterprojectartist based in Minnesota, USA. She describes her backpacks as stylish, simple and practical, perfect for urban navigation or a trip around the globe. We can attest to that. From New York to Cape Town, Paris to Buenos Aires, and many places in between, Winter Project Artist backpacks travel well and look fabulous. We asked Sarah to share with iseeyousee magazine @iseeyouseemag about her business, her process and inspiration. Here is an excerpt from our interview with her:

“My inspiration was a generic backpack I acquired in Spain in 1992. Eventually, it wore out, and I searched for something similar. Similar and simple was nowhere to be found. The designer in me decided to recreate the backpack and make improvements on the design, functionality, and style; hardware, zippers, size, and adjustable straps. I’ve always been a tomboy who prefers a uniform approach each morning, allowing me to start being creative rather than fussing over my wardrobe. I’m also a bicycle enthusiast and traveler. Backpacks check all the boxes for me while giving me freedom.”
