Many backpacks have a patch in the shape of a leather or plastic diamond.
Typically this thing has two vertical slots.
Many people believe that this patch is a trademark. Some think that this diamond is nothing more than a decoration.
The first assumption is not true, because a similar patch can be seen on backpacks from different manufacturers.
The version about decoration is only partially true. In recent years, the rhombus has really begun to perform more decorative functions.
However, the diamond patch was originally used for practical purposes.
How can you use this diamond?
Initially, this device was sewn exclusively onto hiking backpacks. It was intended to secure things that did not fit in the bag.
So, strings were pushed through the slits of the diamond. As a result, it became possible to hang a tourist mat or some tools.
In addition, the holes fit laces without any problems, so a person can hang shoes on the backpack.
Nowadays, diamonds can be found even on small backpacks that definitely cannot be called tourist backpacks. In this case, such a thing is needed to decorate the bag. However, this does not mean that the rivet cannot be used for practical purposes.
