Sporthaus backpack?

Hello
Bit of a long shot here as I'm not even sure I remember the name correctly... but here goes...
Back when I was in school, I remember a certain type of schoolbag was particularly popular - ''Sport Haus'' or '' Sporthaus'' seems to ring a bell as the brandname but I cannot find any sign of them on the interweb (which must mean they don't exist of course).
The bags were small cheapish backpacks that closed with a drawstring and then the top folded down over the bag and closed with two clasps (like your standard large rucksack). They came in a multitude of colours which I guess aided their popularity.
Does anyone remember these and what brand they were?
Thanks
Rachel

I bought one for college over 8 years ago- it also came around the world with me two years ago, fantastic bags! All the camping shops on the top of Mary St/Capel St in Dublin stock them.

They're available in the bag shop on Liffey street opposite the Ha'penny bridge, I got one about 5 years ago, use it ever day, it survives the washing machine no problem.

thanks so much all.
No idea where I got the German variation on the name from!
