a backpack comprising:
a front wall having an interior face and an exterior face with one or more front wall magnets on the interior face of the front wall;
a first side wall extending from a first side of the front wall and a second side wall extending from a second side of the front wall opposite the first side wall;
a bottom extending between bottom portions of the front wall and the first and second side walls,
a top panel having an interior face and exterior face and extending between top portions of the front wall and the first and second side walls, the top panel comprising a fastener for securing the top panel to the front wall and at least a portion of the first and second side walls such that the top panel is openable and closeable;
a rear panel opposite the front wall and extending between first and second side walls, the bottom, and the top panel, the rear panel comprising a fastener for securing the rear panel to the top panel and at least a portion of the first and second side walls such that the rear panel is openable and closeable and the rear panel comprising an interior face and an exterior face with one or more rear panel magnets on the interior face of the rear panel; and
at least one fastener positioned proximal the interior face of the top panel; and
