Ever since I was a child, I’ve always looked forward to go back to school for the mere reason that I could wear my new clothes and shoes, and show off my new backpack, lunch bag and stationery! I eagerly awaited the annual “bag buying trip” where each time I would fall in love with a backpack that my Mom almost always refused to buy (for some very practical reasons as I realize now!)

The type of bags that I bought changed as I progressed from elementary to high school to college. Here are some really cool back-to-school bags for different ages and needs.

School backpack:

If your daughter is going to kindergarten, in all probability she’ll really adore all things pink. Watch her squeal with joy when she sees her very own personalized butterfly backpack! In the first, second and third grade she’s likely to ask you for backpacks with the Disney Princess images!

Rolling backpack:

Fast forward a couple of years, when you see your child struggling to heave her books on her back, opt for a pretty rolling backpack like the Roxy girls Inspire roller backpack. As your child grows, change the design to suit their preferences.

Laptop bag:

For those who need to carry laptops, trendy chic laptop bags to match their tastes can be found. For example, there’s a chic Haiku laptop courier bag for those who love understated elegance; the Fluff Face laptop bag for those with a quirky artsy taste; the Ogio Street Corp for the practical or the Simple Combover laptop bag for the environmentally conscious.

Tote:

For young fashion conscious college-going ladies, who prefer style over functionality, can opt for branded bags such as a Tony Burch tote or Juicy Couture tote.

One of the most thrilling experiences of going back to school is buying a bag that meets your needs, is value for money and simultaneously reflects your personality. Have a great time picking your back-to-school bag!
