Herschel supply and Kanken backpacks

..so it begins with getting a laptop for work
...then the realization that I don't own a laptop bag
....from there the daily struggles of carrying 3 bags daily ( 1 personal, 1 for gym, 1 for laptop)
.....which began the hunt
......which caused the discovery
.......which now became a new obsession


Herschel Supply Bags

Back in my days, owning a Jansport was the coolest thing since slice bread.  Backpacks have taken the turn for the better since then.  I first saw them at Madewell (my all time fav store ever), and then started searching them online.  After looking at these bags by Herschel Supply, I would rock them anytime on a daily basis.  No school enrollment required!

The price is however on the high side but they come with a guarantee for quality and durability.  But my main excuse for needing to own one of these is the fact that it has a built in laptop sleeve, which is perfect.  This means I can eliminate 1 personal, and 1 lap top bag and combine them into 1 Herschel Bag :).





Kanken Backpacks

During my Herschel bag exploration I stumbled upon Kanken Backpacks.  The fun colors, the square shape, and the handle on top hooked me in.  Who knew that they have already been trending worldwide.  I'm basically late on the backpack trend apparently.

Just like the Herschel bags most of the Kanken bags also has a hidden laptop sleeve inside.




At the end of all those hours of online browsing I ended up getting this bag...

But Kanken bags are still in my thoughts so maybe one day soon :)

I love the colorful selections, and the laptop sleeve is a nice plus :) I totally love the idea of multi-use bags...until I stuff too much stuff in them and end up having to carry a second bag anyway for work, bhahahaha!

I have the same dilemma...I'm tempted to buy one, but since I'm almost done with school, I don't think I should splurge...
