At MyBagFactory , we'll ensure the perfect start to the new school year/semester.

Which backpack is best for school?

The eternal question: Which backpack should I choose? For school, your backpack should not only look cool, but also be practical. A roll-top backpack, like our model made from recycled material, is the perfect choice. The cool pink and beige KANE roll-top backpack from SONS OF ALOHA pairs perfectly with casual outfits like wide-legged trousers and crop tops. This way, you'll not only be stylish but also super organized on the go – no matter how packed your school day is.

How big should a backpack be for school?

Size matters – at least when it comes to school backpacks, it's an important part. Your backpack should be big enough to fit all your books, snacks, and of course, your laptop. But don't worry, you don't have to look like a pack mule! A chic leather backpack in brown or black offers plenty of space and looks fantastic. Our XL ARCHIE backpack made of natural leather from the SID & VAIN brand is the perfect size for university. Another true treasure in the retro world is our XL ETON backpack with a 15-inch laptop compartment. Whether for university or school, this backpack is the perfect companion.

You might now be wondering how you can combine these first-class backpacks with your outfit.

Our tip : Combine the leather backpack with a beige cardigan or a shirt jacket and skinny black jeans – your stylish yet functional school look is ready.

What is the difference between a school backpack and a university backpack?

While a school backpack often needs to be a bit larger and more robust, a university backpack is often a bit slimmer and more elegant. After all, you don't have to carry as much at university. A leather backpack is particularly suitable for this – it adds a touch of class to your outfit and goes perfectly with a loose sweater and skinny pants or a cute skirt. For the trend-conscious student, simplicity and functionality are the key to a successful look.

Bag vs. backpack as a school bag or university bag: advantages and disadvantages

Now it gets interesting: Should you choose a bag or a backpack for school or university? Both have their advantages. Here's a little help to help you decide:

Advantages of a backpack:

• Ergonomic: A leather backpack distributes the weight evenly across both shoulders, which protects your back and posture.
• Plenty of space: A backpack usually offers more storage space, ideal for heavy books, laptops, and snacks.
• Practical : Lots of compartments and pockets help you stay organized – no more fumbling around for your keys!

Disadvantages of a backpack:

• Compromise on style : Sometimes a backpack can appear less formal, which doesn't suit every outfit.
• Difficult in tight spaces: In crowded buses or lecture halls, a backpack can be a bit unwieldy.

Advantages of a bag:

• Stylish: A leather handbag looks chic and elegant, perfect for a stylish appearance.
• Easy access : Quickly access your things without having to take off the entire backpack.
• Versatile: Often goes better with different outfits, from casual to chic.

Disadvantages of a bag:

• More uncomfortable with heavy weight: A bag often only puts pressure on one shoulder, which can be uncomfortable in the long run.
• Less storage space: Bags generally offer less space and fewer compartments than backpacks.

The perfect bag for school and university: style meets function

Bags are practical and a true fashion statement. If you value elegance, a leather bag is the ideal choice for school and university. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Robust handles : Since a school bag / university bag is usually quite heavy, the handles must be well sewn, ideally with double seams.
• Compartments : A handbag with extra compartments is an advantage, as keys, wallet, cell phone, etc. can be well stored but are still quickly accessible.
• Size : A school bag or university bag often accompanies you all day long, so it is important that the leather bag is the right size.

To make your search a little easier, I'd like to introduce you to one of our most popular tote bags, the NEA by FEYNSINN. With its thick handles and size, it's perfect for school or university—there's sure to be room for everything.

Another bag that's also perfect as a school or university bag is our AURI by FEYNSINN. With plenty of storage space, soft leather, and an Italian look and feel, it's the perfect companion for all fashion lovers.
