Back to School: 15 School Bags Under $75

Hi there! When you're going back to school, you kind of need to have a bag to lug all your stuff around with you and while you most likely reuse your bags from year to year, maybe this year will be a good time to treat yourself. Of course, some of us don't have a boatload of money to spend on a new bag, so I picked out 15 bags all under $75, so let's get into it!

EDGY

Black leather goes well with everything and can look a bit edgy as well if you're into that stuff, so I picked out two black leather backpacks that could fit all your school essentials for the day. If you're more of a tote-carrying girl that's a smitch more demure, I also chose a tote option that is a bit more sophiscated.


1. Mi-Pac Primer Croc Backpack - $49.95
2. Deena & Ozzy Montrose Vegan Leather Backpack - $64
3. Topshop Saffiano Tote Bag - $65

CLASSIC


If you're a bit more classic, I've also got some options for you! A simple striped backpack pretty much goes well with everything and a corduroy one would definitely make you stand out in a sea of solid-coloured JanSports. Finally, I have for you a really beautiful and adorable and simple structured black backpack with some buckles for a bit of a different spin on your typical school bag.

1. Forever 21 Striped Canvas Backpack - $23.80
2. JanSport High Streaks Corduroy Backpack - $40
3. Cooperative Oliver Structured Backpack - $69

GIRLY

If you're a girlier girl, I picked out a few floral bags both from Herschel because they have good quality bags (the one I'm using this year is from them!) and a mint green tote so you can stuff everything that you need in there.

1. Herschel Supply Packable Daypack Floral Backpack - $29.95
2. Chicwish Mint Twinset Tote Bag
3. Herschel Supply City Countryside Print Backpack - $49.95

TOTES


Totes are always a popular option for school, so I chose a really funky black leather one from H&M that is pretty affordable, a blue leather one from ModCloth and a white one from New Look with some really cool baroque detailing.

1. H&M Très Cool Shopper Bag - $29.95
2. ModCloth Blue Tote Bag - $34.99
3. New Look Baroque Lasercut Tote Bag - $60.85

MULTI-STRAP HANDBAGS


Sometimes, you'll need to go somewhere straight after school and you'll need to carry your bag a different way. First off, there's the Fjallraven Kanken that you can easily switch from being a backpack to a handbag and the other two bags have longer and shorter straps to either go for a more practical or sophisticated route.

1. Fjallraven Forest Green Kanken Backpack - $75
2. H&M Weekend Bag - $59.95
3. ModCloth Camel Camp Director Tote - $59.99
