"From meetings to mum life - this bag is a game-changer." Holly, Betsy & Floss Founder
Running a business while raising two children means life moves fast and I need a bag that can keep up.
The Manarola backpack came from a simple idea: I needed something beautiful and functional. A bag that didn’t just look good in a meeting, but could also handle a packed lunch, baby wipes, a laptop, and whatever else the day throws at me.
My Everyday Favourite
Out of all the designs we offer at Betsy & Floss, the Manarola is the one I reach for most. Here’s why:
-
It fits everything
Whether I’m heading to a work meeting, popping to the shops, or taking the kids out for the day, I know I won’t need to compromise. There’s room for all the essentials - phone, keys, snacks, a tablet, even a small toy or two! -
It’s incredibly versatile
The Manarola can be worn three ways:
→ Over the arm like a chic handbag
→ As a hands-free backpack
→ Slid neatly over a suitcase handle or even a pushchairThat flexibility is a game changer, especially when you’re juggling work, travel, and family life all in one go.
-
It just works with everything
The structured design and soft Italian leather make it feel luxe but never overdone. It goes with jeans and a t-shirt, but I’ve also worn it with dresses to meetings and events. No need to swap bags halfway through the day.
Why Our Customers Love It Too
I’m not the only one obsessed. The Manarola is one of our bestsellers and it’s easy to see why. Stylish enough for everyday wear, practical enough for travel, and smart enough for work, it's the definition of an all-rounder.
And with our latest colour release in Light Taupe, it’s more beautiful and wearable than ever.
