Back to school shopping - the coolest kids backpacks and bags
We're pretty sure that back to school is synonymous with a brand new backpack and not one that's ragged and torn from last year's heavy load of school books and homework. Here are a bunch of our favorite book bags that are not only cool, but will stand out in the sea of licensed character packs on the hooks and in the cubbies.
Available in four sizes and eight colors, we're pretty sure these super cool Madpax won't ever end up in the lost and found.
($28 and up at Madpax)
