Back to School Style: The Backpack

Can you believe it? School has already started! Today was the first day of classes at my state university and the public schools (K-12) started a week ago. Where did summer disappear to? Oh well, I guess I will just have to get used to the idea. This nice weather sure isn’t making it easy though! Now let’s see… what does everyone need for back-to-school? A backpack, of course! And if you happen to be a school-going bagista, a fashionable backpack is a must. However, you don’t want to sacrifice function in the process. Otherwise, it would just be money down the drain. Lucky for you, I think I have found some good compromises!

Herschel Supply Co. Heritage Backpack. $65
These backpacks are super cute and they come in a variety of colors and patterns. They are made of heavy canvas for durability. Plus they have padded backs and straps for a more comfortable wear.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Domo Arigato Backpack. $198
Checkered prints and plaids are huge right now! I love the black/white/red combination. This nylon backpack features rugged zippers for a utilitarian look. The interior is coated for extra durability.

A.P.C. Flap Backpack. $220
The flap is back! This backpack reminds me of my middle school days. But the black canvas puts this piece firmly in 2014.
