										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Name a bag, and I&rsquo;ve bought it. Ebags. Osprey. Patagonia. Cotopaxi. Baboon. I go for function over fashion. While it&rsquo;s fun to find the cutest bag to throw over your arm &ndash; after running from terminal to terminal on a short connection, having a backpack as your personal item instead of a large, albeit cute, bag makes my life so much easier.
