“He who would travel happily must travel light.” - Antoine de St. Exupery, author of The Little Prince.
Sometimes, one needs a backpack. At other times a briefcase is required. Then there are times when only a duffel bag will do. But you don’t have the money or the space for three bags. No problem. Meet the All-Star Hybrid Backpack by Solo.
Solo has built a reputation for creating stylish and functional bags that combine practicality, durability, and modern design. From backpacks and laptop bags to travel luggage and everyday carry essentials, Solo bags are designed to suit a wide range of lifestyles while offering comfort, convenience, and smart storage solutions for life on the go. Based in New York City, their goal is “to keep you moving in style with cool, thoughtfully-designed bags and tablet cases.”
What do you look for in a bag? For me, it should be versatile, easily portable, attractive, light but strong, and have many compartments. Then I came across the All-Star Hybrid Backpack. As someone who loves value deals, I immediately liked the sound of a hybrid bag and decided to put it to the test. So far, I’ve used it for clothes, my laptop, my camera equipment, and my documents, as well as a combination of these. This is how it measured up.
To summarise, finding a backpack that is both stylish and practical can make travelling, commuting, and everyday life far easier. The All-Star Hybrid Backpack by Solo is designed for people who need versatility on the go, combining modern design with functional features that work for both business and leisure travel. With smart storage compartments, comfortable carrying options, and a sleek look, this backpack is made to keep up with busy lifestyles while helping travellers stay organised wherever they go.
In South Africa, the Solo bags are distributed by Gammatek SA.

Hi Sara,
Great review about the "All-Star Hybrid Backpack".
I came by your site through the Becoming a Blogger FB site.
Loved reading about those beautiful countries.
I only have been (in Africa) to Egypt, Morocco & Tunisia. Hopefully I will have the change to visit some of the other countries too.
