Spixal doesn't have a backpack built and marketed specifically for women. What we do have are two bags from our range that a lot of women choose for exactly that job, for real, practical reasons rather than because they come in a softer colour.
The Commute: The One Built Around a Laptop
The Commute is the most work-ready bag we make. It has a dedicated laptop compartment and a separate zip pocket just for your phone, and it converts from backpack straps to tote handles, or slips over a suitcase handle for travel days.
- 18L capacity, 530g empty
- 44 x 28 x 14cm
- Nylon outer, with a softer look and feel than the usual stiff backpack polyester
- A square, structured silhouette, closer to a modern work bag than a typical backpack shape
It was built for a teenager who wanted a bag that didn't read as a school bag. That same reasoning is exactly why it works for a work day, a commute, or a conference.
The Axis: Softer Fabric, Right Colourway
The Axis was designed for kids, so this one comes with a genuine caveat: not every colourway in the range suits a work bag. But several do, and for good reason. Most of the Axis range is made from a cotton twill, a softer, more textile look than standard backpack fabric, with the exception of the leopard colourway, which blends cotton twill with a printed polyester leopard print, and happens to be our best seller.
Of the Axis colourways, black, navy, green, purple, pink and leopard work well as a women's everyday or work bag. The brighter, more clearly kid-oriented prints in the range don't carry the same crossover.
Which One Actually Suits You
- Carrying a laptop most days? Commute. The dedicated laptop compartment and structured shape are built for it.
- Want a softer fabric and a bit of colour or print? Axis, in black, navy, green, purple, pink or leopard.
- Want it to double as a travel bag? Commute converts to tote handles and fits over a suitcase handle.
Pairing It With the Rest of Your Day
Both pair easily with the rest of our adult lunch range. See our guides to the best lunch bag for work and the best bento lunch box for adults to build out the full setup.

Not currently. The Commute and Axis both come from our teen and kids' range, but their fabric, shape and certain colourways genuinely suit an adult work day too.
Is the Commute backpack good for work?
Yes. It has a dedicated laptop compartment, a separate phone pocket, a softer nylon finish than typical backpack fabric, and converts to tote handles for travel.
Which Axis colours suit a work bag best?
Black, navy, green, purple, pink and leopard. Leopard is our best seller and blends cotton twill with a printed polyester panel.
What's the Axis backpack made from?
Mostly cotton twill, for a softer, more textile look than standard backpack fabric. The leopard colourway combines cotton twill with printed polyester.
