Why Satchels

Why Satchels

Why Satchels

When it comes to choosing the perfect school bag for your kids to ferry their school books, PE kits, and pencil cases with, then you might well be tempted to go for the classic backpack as it can fit a lot on, and it’s two shoulder straps make it effortless to carry. However, there is another, arguably better option to choose from; the classic satchel.

Here are just a few reasons why satchels are truly making a comeback as the school and work bag of choice:

Durability

When it comes to bags for regular use, there is no denying that satchels, like the 17 LONDON Wimbledon Backpack, are hard to beat. Made from sturdy materials like leather or toughened fabric such as water-resistant nylon, they're designed to take a bit of a beating – from the classroom to the school bus and everywhere in between.  Basically, they will get the job done, no sweat (unless there happens to be a stinky PE kit in there obvs).

Style

Most schoolkids want to look good, and there is no denying satchels, like the HERSCHEL SUPPLY CO Retreat Backpack can help them along with that. Satchels have this timeless, quintessentially British vibe that just oozes cool. They come in a range of colours and designs, from classic browns to vibrant prints, meaning there's something for every kid's unique style. Let them express themself!

Comfort

Oh, and let’s not forget the all-important comfort factor. With adjustable straps and a design that distributes weight evenly, satchels, such as the 17 LONDON Canary Wharf Backpack, are comfy to carry around all day. No more complaints about achy shoulders or struggling with unwieldy bags.

Organisation

Kid a messy whirlwind of disorganisation? Satchels, like the SPIRAL Brixton Spiral Backpack, can help with that! With their distinct compartments and pockets, everything has its place – from pencils to protractors and sandwiches to smartphones. It’s like having a mini personal assistant, keeping all the essentials tidy and at hand.

Satchels rock, right?
