Dd needs a new rucksack for secondary, either navy or black. She doesn't like the Kanken, I'm not sure about Superdry's flashy branding and the Herschel seem a bit grown up.

Can you recommend a practical yet not too uncool rucksack for her please?

That's good to know about rucksack beyond year 8, I guess she'll find this out over the next year. The Hype, Kanken, Eastpack etc do look small to me. Maybe a Herschel then. Do your secondary dc bring water bottle to school?

Ditto. She had a Hype rucksack year 7 but discarded this year in favour of a large tote. Rucksacks beyond Year 7 are apparently very uncool!

They don't really use rucksacks at my daughters school. They all have totes from River Island, Ted Baker or New Look type of shops.

We started DD in Y7 with a Hype backpack that we all quickly realised was way too small. Graduated onto a larger ("XL") Herschel, they do a children's range (just bought a floral one in the sale - now sold out I'm afraid - for DD2, to put aside for when she starts secondary). DD1 says loads of kids have Herschel at her school. She's now Y8. Main thing is it needs to be big!
