It’s in the bag
Tired of toting around that good ol’ JanSport book bag you’ve had since seventh grade? We thought so! This fall, stride to class in style with these fashionable carry-all options.
The Rucksack

Think of the rucksack as the backpack’s stylish and carefree big sister. Although still a backpack in nature, the slouchy, relaxed rucksack is a great way for those concerned with function to carry books and school supplies in style. As one of fall’s hottest items, rucksacks can be found everywhere this season and at every price point, from Target, to Urban Outfitters, to Barney’s New York. This tribal printed rucksack by Dusen Dusen is one of our top picks. You can pick up yours at Urban Outfitters or online at urbanoutfitter.com. ($129 Urban Outfitters)
The Classic Messenger

The classic messenger bag is and always has been the go-to alternative to the backpack. The popular cross-body is perfect for girls and guys on-the-go. This gray messenger from Moop’s waxed canvas collection is perfect for those who love minimal, well crafted design. The sturdy fabric is constructed to get better with age, like leather or vintage denim, and the surprise pop of the turquoise lining makes this a must-have. Log on to moopshop.com to order one for yourself. ($187 Moop/moopshop.com)

The shopper tote is another back-to-class staple for trucking a bag full of textbooks around campus. The roominess and classic silhouette make it timeless, functional and sophisticated. If you’re looking for a carryall that will transition from the classroom, to your internship, to meeting up with roommates for dinner, the classic tote is your fall necessity.

I like the Tote bag from Zara because it can carry a huge number of stuffs and yet it looks so fashionable. When I travel, I always have a single hand carry statement bag with me and a whole lot of excess baggage in UK since I usually stay for two to three weeks every vacation. I just hope they have discounts on excess baggage too.
