Goth Backpacks at Kate's Clothing

A goth backpack is the one accessory that has to work as hard as it looks. Ours are chosen to do both: enough room for your essentials, a water bottle and a spare pair of boots, wrapped in the sort of detailing you won't find on the high street. Think coffin-shaped panels, bat wings, D-rings, studs, harness straps and gothic pinstripe.

What you'll find here

  • Harness and buckle styles for a heavier, club-ready look that still carries a full day's kit.
  • Printed and pinstripe gothic backpacks, including officially licensed character designs from Nemesis Now.
  • Everyday alternative rucksacks with padded straps and multiple compartments, sized for work, college and travel.

Choosing the right one

Check the dimensions on each product page before you order. Smaller gothic backpacks around 28cm suit days out, gigs and festivals, while larger styles take A4 folders and most 13"-15" laptops. If you wear a lot of layers or a corset, look for adjustable straps so the fit stays comfortable over a jacket.
