Exciting times... need a new school bag

[CharlesRyder]

Can anybody recommend anything amaze-balls?

I only have 7 kids and usually give all feedback in school so I don't need to tote class sets of books home. It mainly needs to hold a glorious selection of stationary keep memory sticks, ipad, notepad safe and organised, but I do want it to be able to take A4 sized things too.

Free hessian bag for life from the education show!
Failing that the Radley shop is usually a winner as far as my wife is concerned

Knomo bags are lovely and have proper padded sections to protect laptop / iPad.

Ooh, yes, I quite fancy an aubergine Curzon. Thanks Mara not that a hessian sack isn't just the thing newbieman.

Glad you like them, Charles. They no longer make mine but I have used it every work day for about five years and it's still immaculate.

Coming for a snoop as I want need one too. Current ASDA hessian children in need bag is luffly but not quite cutting it

I find Kipling bags to be the best. Modern, functional, sturdy. And they come in a variety of styles, colours & sizes.

I love the look of the Fossil Sydney Work Bag but I'll need to save for a while before I can buy one.

I do like that too Rooster.

I have bought myself one of <a class="break-all" href="//aswww.amazon.co.uk/Eastpak-Messenger-Bag-EK310363-Grey/dp/B00AM3K9II/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1430804904&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=eastpak+flay+jellyfish" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these (with the jellyfish on) as an interim measure (old one has really given up the ghost) while I decide on a 'commitment' bag!
