Music bags and rucksacks

Music bags and rucksacks are accessories for band fans: everyday rucksacks for school or work, small backpacks, crossbody bags, canvas and shopping bags, and travel bags. They feature designs from Metallica, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, The Beatles, Sleep Token, Ghost and many other bands, usually a logo or album cover on a black background. The bags have a unisex design, so they suit fans of any gender. This page is part of our music merchandise range, where you will also find T-shirts, wallets and caps with band designs.

Rucksack, crossbody bag or canvas bag?

Choose the type of bag according to what you will carry and how long you will be carrying it. The dimensions in the list are the most common sizes in the range; check each model for its exact measurements.

• Everyday rucksack: 43 cm high and 30 cm wide, with room for exercise books, sheet music and A4 documents.
• Small backpack: around 30 × 24 cm for your phone, wallet and small essentials when you do not want to carry a large rucksack.
• Crossbody bag: around 21 × 16 cm, kept in front of you and in view when you need your documents and keys close at hand.
• Canvas and shopping bag: a flat canvas bag measuring 42 × 37 cm carries shopping, books and vinyl LPs; the Eco Shopper shopping bag is made of durable polypropylene.
• Travel bag: a roomy duffle bag for a weekend away, training or band rehearsal, for example with a Motörhead or Iron Maiden design.

Which bands feature on the bags and rucksacks?

Rock and metal classics include Metallica, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Motörhead, Megadeth, Slipknot and Korn. The more recent scene is represented by Sleep Token, Ghost, Bad Omens, Bring Me The Horizon and My Chemical Romance. As a fan of The Beatles, you can choose from rucksacks, crossbody bags and shopping bags, including designs featuring the Abbey Road cover. If you are giving a bag as a present, you only need to know the recipient's favourite band and how they will carry it: an everyday rucksack for daily use, a canvas bag for shopping or a crossbody bag for trips into town.

What are music bags made of and how should you care for them?

Rucksacks, small backpacks and crossbody bags are almost all made of polyester, which is lightweight and lets you wipe away everyday dirt with a damp cloth. Canvas bags are made of cotton or organic cotton, while Eco Shopper shopping bags are made of polypropylene. Wash a printed cotton bag inside out at a low temperature and do not iron directly over the design, just as you would with music T-shirts. Always check the bag's care label before washing.
