Currently impossible to craft: Elegant Backpacks

[Lysica.1027]

If you have leveled a crafting profession to recently then you might find the Elegant Backpack, supposed to be there once you get to 400, is unavailable to you for crafting. This won't bother players with Ascended/Legendary backpacks but even If you just like the skins then these crafted Exotic level 78 stat selectable backpacks are cool. Hopefully it's a simple bug and an easy fix and they'll be back in the crafting station list for us to make again soon. Not sure if any other craftable items are affected by the same bug.

I believe this only affects one Crafting Discipline.

Weaponsmith, perhaps?

I know the Chef Discipline still has them.

Ah you might still be seeing them if you already had your crafting leveled up past 400 before this happened (from the gw2 wiki):

**The October 27, 2020 game update removed one of the duplicate recipes.**

I'm seeing a problem with a craft I only just leveled up to max in the last few days, since that date. Possibly the wrong recipe got removed, or they weren't merged correctly, no idea exactly but something like that. Possibly this problem is affecting other recipes too, there could be various ones missing; only ANet can really know.
