All of your questions about back to school shopping… answered!
We’re about at that point in the year where you start seeing back to school advertisements and thinking “isn’t it too early for this?”… which means it’s time for us to drop the ultimate school prep document to get you ready for whatever the next few months throw at you.
Read below to get answers to 3 of our most commonly asked questions about school, backpacks, and more.
#1: What is the best backpack for kids going back to school?
We’re glad you asked. Your little one needs a kid backpack for school that can keep up with all (and we mean *all*) of their activities. Our Kids Backpack is designed to be the perfect balance of lightweight and durable so they love carrying it, and you love how easy getting them ready in the morning is. This bag even has a removable fanny pack that you can unclip and use as a mini bag for playdates, field trips, and more.
But hey, don’t take it from us… take it from this review by Isher H:
"So stinking cute!!!! My son loves it. 10/10 for functionality and 100/10 on the fun! He loves wearing the fanny pack." Or this one from Mummi I: "My 3 yr old is obsessed with this backpack! It fits her perfectly and the detachable belt bag is *chefs kiss* BÉIS always thinks of every detail." We're so glad you love it!!
#2: Which backpacks work best for college students?
Ahh… college. While we can’t say we miss lugging multiple mysteriously overpriced textbooks across campus… we can say we’re glad the backpack style game has elevated since our time (the person writing this blog may or may not have only graduated a year ago but… hey). We have a variety of backpacks that can be used across all stages of life — from high school to university to work and beyond. For college students specifically, we really recommend something durable, professional (but stylish), and packed with hidden function. Plus… it’s always crucial to have room for your laptop, a water bottle holder, and a bonus built-in keychain so you never lose your dorm key.
Our classic school backpack (known as “The Backpack”) does all of this all while looking perfectly effortless and justttt the right amount of mature and professional. We also love our BÉISics Backpack for college-age kids because it’s easy to compress and pack down making it great for big moves and limited dorm storage space. Need a backpack that flexes to your schedule? Our Expandable Backpack unzips and opens an additional 2 inches making it great for overnight trips, quick visits home, and everyday wear.
College can be scary, but picking the perfect bag doesn’t have to be!
#3: What's the difference between a laptop backpack and a backpack?
Well look, there isn’t always a difference because technically any backpack that fits your laptop is a laptop backpack, right? Not quite. A true laptop backpack will have an extra pocket (likely on the interior) to keep your tech safe and secure from the other items in your bag. This is often called a “laptop sleeve” and you can find these built-in to our backpacks, or you can get a separate laptop sleeve to add to your current backpack, too!
Don’t tell your teacher we just gave you all the answers… but that’s the rundown on all things backpack and back to school. Your homework? Do a little shopping… you don’t hear that too often now, do you?
