Book Lovers' accessories | Backpacks

June 30, 2013

It has recently occurred to me that the time before my back decides to give up on me is going to be significantly shortened if I continue to lug heavy books around all of the time. Having realised that it's impossible for me to cut down on the number of books, (despite my destination being a library that almost certainly has all the books I have carried there), it has dawned on me that my method of transporting them must change. What I need is a functional bag. I do apologise for using the 'f' word, please forgive me, but desperate times call for desperate measures people. Fortunately I seem to have come across lots of these types of 'f' bags that are very pretty too.

Uni Rucksacks


1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
The first is my favourite, but equally the least likely to make it into my possession given the price. Number 4 reminds me vividly of the 'cartables' we used to carry around at school in France, although it's nothing on the Minnie Mouse one I used to own. Number 6 is technically entitled 'The Fjallraven Kanken Laptop Backpack', I think my Mum would even be proud of all the functional and practical compartments.

I've decided that I can justify the seemingly extortionate price of one of these on the basis that it will surely be cheaper than the surgery needed to rectify my body if I continue as I have, and I imagine they will last rather longer than the handbags we all used to prance around with in secondary school that definitely weren't designed for the job.

From my vast research I would recommend the following sites if you are looking for a backpack: Etsy, ASOS, Urban Outfitters, Ebay, or you might be able to pick one up at a market stall. (Make sure to check out the Men's section of these sites too.)But please let me know if you have any suggestions.


Now all I have to do is decide on one...

    I know, I just can't choose! Probably since they suddenly came into fashion and all of a sudden they're double any kind of reasonable price :( boo X

  5. Have a look at TKMAXX if you've got one near you, I got a really cute navy blue bird patterned backpack there and there are prices to suit everyone.

    That's a really good idea. I've always loved the look of them, but I wondered whether they'd be practical if I was cycling.
    I know, it's so beautiful!
