Does this bag exist for DS17??

DS is 17 and has started going out doing stuff more with friends. He takes a tatty JD drawstring type bag out so as his birthday is coming up I thought I might get him a nicer bag (mainly because it's doing my nut in!).

The drawstring type gym bags similar to the JD bags seem to be quite small; certainly not big enough for a hoodie and little bits. The cross body / festival bags are too small (he doesn't seem keen on those anyway).

I don't have an unlimited budget but happy to spend a little to get something nicer, brand which will wear well.

Any suggestions please??

I got this one for my lads going swimming. Tons of colours and quite strong and a decent size Drawstring... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BWJVJ7YY?ref=ppxpopmobapshare Drawstring Bag

Sorry, link didn't work. Search Tesmien Drawstring Bag on Amazon

That looks like a contender: lightweight and good size. Thank you !

Classic eastpak?

Why not just a normal (smallish) rucksack? Is he just not keen?

Just curious as my eldest two ds's (16 and 14) just take a rucksack out and about with hoody/charger/drink etc, which is what their friends do too.

Pretty much every teenage boy round here seems to have a black Nike rucksack... including my ds16!

Yes my DS16 just has a black nike rucksack too!

DS just has his Nike backpack but tends to put just his phone in his pocket when going out

My teens use Eastpack rucsacs.

You all wouldn't believe what a fusspot he is! He uses a backpack for school so I think he wants something different to use outside of school. He knows what he doesn't like, but not what he wants.

The drama we had with suit shopping for prom. Wails of "but that has a pattern" 🙄 Just as well I love him!
