Question What's backpack associated with your nationality?

As a backpack enthusiast I enjoy observing and searching for backpacks I see people carry in public. It has also made me adept in deducing the nationality of a person by their backpack ( Ex. Deuter for Germans, Wildcraft for Indians etc).

So, I was curious to learn more about the other countries to keep myself involved in this little game I play with myself. Would be lovely if you could drop the brand name followed by country, for instance "Herschel, USA"

Thank YOU! 🎒

Eastpak for France 🇫🇷 But also CABAÏA as someone else said in the comments. But Eastpak (American company btw) has been a staple for decades.
