This backpack has a fake zip around the main compartment so the only way to get into it is through the back panel. Although this limits access for the user, it makes it harder for the abuser. Mr. T has thought of using other shapes to make the real zip more easily accessible for the user, and would like to develop this next. Mr. T developed this product for Monica, a girl who loves hiking and often goes travelling.
Anti-theft element: The rucksack has a very common aesthetic and the fake zip is placed where one would expect the real zip to be. When opened, a pink neon fabric prevents access to valuables.
