A structure useable as a backpack or as a cape finds particular utility when worn by a stuffed bear. The backpack/cape structure includes a generally rectangular piece of fabric having top, bottom, and side edges. Side flaps extend outwardly from the side edges along substantially the entire length of the side edges. A top flap extends from the top edge. The article includes a pair of straps which support it on the back of the bear. As a cape the top flap folds over the top edge of the fabric and the fabric and side flaps are substantially unfolded. To transform the structure into a backpack, the side flaps are folded inwardly over the outer surface of the fabric and then the structure is folded upwardly placing the bottom edge under the downwardly folded top flap. The inwardly folded flaps include Velcro fastening strips so that when the structure is folded upwardly the Velcro strips engage to secure the upper and lower portions of the side flaps together to form a pouch-like backpack.

An article of manufacture for use by a wearer as a backpack or as a cape, the article comprising: a generally rectangular piece of material having side edges, a bottom edge and a top edge, having inner and outer material surfaces; side flaps extending substantially along said side edges and having inner and outer side flap surfaces; a top flap extending from said top edge and having inner and outer top flap surfaces; strap means, connected to the piece of material near the top edge, for supporting said piece of material and flaps therewith against the back of the wearer; and means mounted along the inner side flap surfaces for removably attaching a lower portion of each said side flap to an upper portion of the respective side flap when said side flaps are first folded inwardly to overlie the outer material surface and then said piece of material and side flaps therewith is folded so that upper and lower portions of the outer material surface are opposed and said top and bottom edges are generally proximate one another, whereby said piece of material and said flaps form the cape before folding and form the backpack when so folded.
