College students need everything a book bag can offer, and then some!

If you are both a Law student and a part-time paralegal, for instance, or if you study business and follow an internship in a corporation, you can look both college-y and totally professional by sporting a large fashion jute tote bag that would make Rachel Zane herself ask who is your designer.


The fine blend jute and cotton gives the bag an edge on both materials, hardwearing durability, smooth touching, and detailed printing opportunities. Each bag features matching thick rope handles and two matching woven lightweight straps (you can tie to close the top of the bag).


A fashion statement in its own right, the bag can easily carry your notepad, papers, books, course books, and personal items and still make you look like you have descended from the cover of a magazine.

2. Canvas Sport Drawstring Backpack – for Women

The design offers a wide combination of two colors, usually in powerful contrasts, so the book bag matches your personality and your fashion choices.

The large heavy canvas drawstring bag comes features thick fabric that will hold a heavy load, no matter what you carry and for how long. The bag is ideal to store and carry your schoolbooks and essentials, but also sportswear and running shoes, work-related items, and more.

Men and women love denim accessories and they wear them all the time. This is why a denim rugged college/travel rucksack is a dream come true in terms of durability, looks, space, and maneuverability. College students do carry their books and notepads, together with class courses around, but they also need space for personal items, sports gear, and other stuff. If you also love to travel, such a rucksack will take you far, as denim is one of the most resilient fabrics out there.

Moreover, denim never goes out of fashion – a timeless material that offers flexibility, adaptability, and the sturdiness any college student wants when it comes to moving around.

6. Canvas Leather Laptop Messenger Bag - Unisex

If we began this list with a reference to Rachel Zane and mentioned that men turned messenger bags into veritable fashion statements, it is time to end this list with a reference to Mike Ross – the young brilliant man sporting a vintage-style canvas leather laptop messenger bag as a staple of self-confidence.

The beauty and practicality of such laptop bags are that they are unisex – if you take a look around you will see all college students wearing one. Classy, elegant, extremely useful and versatile, such bag can become the best friend of any young person who goes to college or just begins his or her career after graduation.

The combination of leather and canvas brings the best of both worlds in terms of fabric, features, resilience, heavy carrying abilities, and low maintenance of such book bags for college students. While we still believe canvas would win the leather vs. canvas battle, this type of bag is an exquisite accessory, independent of the wearer’s personal style.
