The Best Drawstring Bags for Everyday Use
For when a regular backpack is too much.
Drawstring bags became prominent in the mid-80s due to their simple, spacious design. A pouch with drawstrings was a game changer at the time because it offered the functionality of a backpack without the bulkiness. The style became a favorite of schools and sports teams and brands because they were easy to manufacture and slap a logo on.
With fashion's need to reinvent, the drawstring bag has received several redesigns. Most modern iterations play into that '80s and '90s nostalgia or the ever-popular sportswear trend. Over the years, due to their flexibility and durability, drawstring bags became a mainstay for athletes and students. They have room for just the essentials, so are an excellent option for gym lovers and minimal bag lovers.
