Dd had a rucksack from Accessories last year, but it is now torn and needs replacing.

Any ideas where I can find a good school bag that she can fit her A4 art pad in? Not too expensive if possible.

My 13 yr old DD has just got the Animal Alouet backpack from the Surfdome website. Think it was £22. She says it'll fit her A4 folders in. She seems happy with it. if she's happy, I'm happy!

Thanks Smile Some nice backpacks there, I'll show them to add tomorrow.

When DS was trying to explain what style of backpack he wanted, the accessorise ones were the shape he wanted - I am 3/4 of the way through making him something similar but in random patchwork recycled denim.

DD2's is an Accessorise kind of fabric back pack, but it came from TKMax. It's a sort of Aztec patten as her class already had too many owls.

Her previous bag was a cheap CK style flowery oil skin messenger bag. Very pretty, but she stuffed too much junk in it and the straps tore out.

DD1 just has a practical proper rucksac.

PE kit goes in Primark canvas shoppers or jackwillis/forever 21 carriers, big hoody won't go in gym bags.

Dd previously had a Cath Kidson oil bag too, but it was too small. She had a locker, but still carried all her books around with her Angry

My DCs got their rucksacks from Sports Direct.

They must have had at least 5 or 6 very different styles.

The one my DS(15) chose came complete with a lunch box, drink bottle and snack bag that had their own little compartments.

He's so easily pleased/amused Grin
