Top 5 Tween Backpacks
Gone are the days of the cutesy prints, princesses and superheroes. Tweens crave cool stylish backpacks with lots of storage. It’s even better when these bags can double as weekend or overnight sleepover bags. Since they won’t outgrow these backpacks as quickly, it’s key to find a well made bag that will last. Franc has compiled a list of our top 5 backpacks (in all of Australia!) for tweens based on style, functionality, tween-appeal and durability.
BagsOnly features a collection of Disney, Marvel, Star Wars and Harry Potter print backpacks specifically designed for teens. They’re not your typical cartoonish character bags. Instead, they’re classy with a subtle print theme. The style is similar to the popular Jansport bags, but with a fun twist. The Harry Potter bag features dual side pockets, perfect for drinks. The main and front compartments are extra spacious and offer plenty of space for books, lunch boxes and any other favourite items your tween may want to pack.
Zara is one of the most popular brands amongst the teens and tweens. Everyone loves Zara for its stylish pieces and affordability. The Lettering Backpack is a fabric backpack with inspirational lettering “b yourself” detailing along the straps. There’s a rommy main compartment and front pocket with zip closure and pull tabs. It also features double hands and adjustable shoulder straps. All Zara items are environmentally friendly.
The North Face Jester is the ultimate backpack for school, travel, or sleepovers. The floating padded laptop sleeve sits in the main compartment, which is raised from the bottom of the bag to reduce the risk of damage upon impact. There’s plenty of space and separate compartments for various things, including pen dividers and water bottle pockets. The FlexVent suspension alleviates neck and shoulder pain.
This stunning blue and white marble overnight back is ideal for sleepovers. It’s the perfect size for after-school sports too. It fits the dimensions requirements for travel carry-on bags if your tween wanted to use it on an airplane as well. It features adjustable removable shoulder straps as well as carrying handles. It’s lightweight with multiple compartments for organising.
Herschel is known for its well-designed but practical products. Herschel reinvents products with modern shapes, fits and feels. The brand has an exceptional eye for detail, making it great for tweens. The gold-tone hardware and ashy rose shade of this bag make it stylish and sleek. It’s a go-anywhere backpack. It features a double woven construction, top zip closure, classic stripe lining, internal slip pocket, and adjustable shoulder straps.
