Stylish Back-pack/ Rucksac-style bag? (Does such a thing exist?)

[threeteens]

I am starting a new course in September and will need to walk to college. I have a problem with my back and I've been advised that I should really use a back-pack rather than a bag that goes on one shoulder for my lap-top/ notes/ books etc.

Has anyone got a stylish solution to offer?

Perhaps they're going to be everywhere this winter, as the satchel was last winter. Boden has them in their autumn collection.

Thanks for replying.

I had no idea that backpacks were coming in for AW, AP!

The water-proof thing is a must, for exactly the reason you mentioned BC so I think it's going to have to be leather/ pleather.

Definite food for thought here.
