What does our designer say about the new collection?

Tereza Matoušová, Product Designer, Topgal a.s.
"I see every backpack as a small world hidden behind a zipper. A world where children store not only textbooks but also their treasures, experiences, and secrets. This diverse world of children was the main inspiration for the new 2026 collection."
"In the collection, you will find backpacks with interchangeable pictures of princesses, space motifs, fairytale dragons, animal designs, and abstract motifs inspired by the digital world, nature, and art. A fresh perspective was also brought by the ENDY backpack design featuring a purple bunny, created by young designer Adam Gronich.

In terms of construction, we stuck to proven solutions this year, but with minor adjustments and improvements. This allowed us to devote more space to the design itself – new motifs, colors, and characters that children will fall in love with and enjoy for a long time."

Behind the Scenes 2026: Did you know?

Innovation, safety, and responsibility in every detail of our backpacks.

Marathon of 20,000 Lifts

Quality is not just an empty word for us. Every school backpack undergoes a load test of 20,000 lifts at ITC Zlín. Your child thus carries a product that has been tested to the absolute limit by European experts.

Sustainability through Quality

We use recycled materials (approx. 15 PET bottles per backpack) according to GRS certification, but the key for us is longevity. The most eco-friendly backpack is the one you don't have to replace every two years thanks to its durability.

Standard: GRS Textile
Do you know the "15% Rule"?

The weight of a full backpack should ideally not exceed 15% of the student's body weight. Our lightweight designs and adjustable back systems help meet this recommendation and protect the healthy development of children's spines.

Inspiration with AI Support

We use AI as a source of inspiration for new directions. However, the graphic sense and professional skill of Tereza Matoušová, our product designer, remain decisive. While platforms like TikTok introduce tools to filter AI content, we rely on human experience that no algorithm can replace.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1
Which backpack model to choose?
Every back is different, and not every model fits everyone. We have prepared a clear comparison of structures and parameters to ensure the chosen backpack or school bag fits your schoolchild perfectly.
2
What are the best accessories?
Match your school gear down to the last detail! For every new backpack, you can find a matching pencil case, gym sack, bottle, or lunch box in the same design. Or choose one of our value sets.
3
Can I wash the backpack in a machine?
Please do not use a washing machine. It could irreversibly damage the waterproofing, back system, or prints, and void the warranty. The backpack is best cleaned by hand using water, soap, and a soft brush.
