Backpacks aren’t just for carrying textbooks anymore! Chanel debuted its latest graffiti-inspired backpack on the Spring 2014 runway back in September, and now, it can be yours for a cool $3,400.

Featuring woven ropes, thick chains and colorful spray paint, the Chanel Bricolage Canvas Backpack is a departure from the sophisticated silhouette that the brand is best known for, but it would definitely add a touch of whimsy to any outfit.

“Picture a young art student spray-painting the blank canvas of a classic backpack and then personalizing it with loops of haphazardly woven ropes and heavy chains,” explains the fashion house. “All of the bag’s bits and bobs add up to a spirited assemblage of what only appear to be happy accidents.”
