back to school backpacksSpeaking of the end of summer, looks like school’s back in session.  And even if you aren’t actually headed back to class, it seems that backpacks are making a bit of a comeback for fall.  You may remember the tiny backpacks of the mid-90’s having a moment (oh, yes you do, Cher Horowitz), but this rendition is a bit bulkier and crafted in leathers and coated fabrics rather than canvases and corduroys… meaning you might actually be able to fit more in them than lip gloss and a tampon.  Dare I say even a real— book?!  And while these aren’t your run of the mill Jansports, I’m not sure I can get on board with the book bag look.
