Imagine I’ve said, 'rucksacks aren’t just for the school yard' and all those other fashion editor cliches so we can get down to the clincher. We all lead busy, hectic lives that include juggling work, commuting, exercise and extra-curricular activities. So, when you take into account the make-up bag, laptop, book and charging cables you’ve got to lug around those celebrity-loved, designer micro bags suddenly seem more pointless than ever. Back up your style to secondary school and invest in a knapsack that can fit everything in without becoming misshapen. So no one confuses you with your teenage cousin look for one with intricate finishings, or with an upgraded fabrication. Straps are an important aspect to note, as they can be the decider between a backpack looking budget and bankrupting. Once and for all, say no to the canvas tote!
