Bag for University.

[iBlueBox]

Can anyone recommend a good bag for University?

I had a shoulder Fred Perry bag for college but for University looking for more of back pack type ruck sack thing, as I'll have to be carrying my Macbook and books in it?

Thanks! :D

I quite like over the shoulder bags, especially if you wanna look a bit professional

Maybe something like that, Debenhams has a blue cross sale on atm so anything on there you can get an extra 10% off

I'd say backpacks have too much space though, thats room for your mac to bounce about and get dinged up or broken

okay my darling bluebox, you definitely need to get a rucksack, shoulder bags are out of fashion and just look dorky.
asos is a great site for in-fashion stuff but http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Backpack-With-Denim-Stars-And-Stripes/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2923986&cid=9265&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Blue&r=2 looks american and ewwy http://www.asos.com/River-Island/River-Island-Backpack/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2920805&cid=9265&sh=0&pge=1&pgesize=204&sort=-1&clr=Blue looks nice and you will also be seen as a trendy guy (as long as you're good in all other departments)

[MKR&*42]

River Island ones are reallyyy good. If you want something similar and that's quite common, take a look at the Mi Pac http://www.mi-pac.com/ ones which I think are on ASOS too and stuff yeah they're great.

[today]

You wont get them cheaper instore, ASOS offer them at the same price as we do instore.

And we have no sales planned till october time so unless there's a fault with the bag you'll not get it cheaper then asos :)

[Yupt]

Get a case for your mac and then it doesn't matter how big the bag is.

[Absently]

True!

if you like those type of bags, there's like the exact same ones in primark and also tk maxx at the moment!! probably a good bit cheaper than asos

[JACKTARD]

I use a simple ASOS leather look satchel thing.

It's simple enough. You don't need anything special, just something you can fit your laptop in, although I rarely take it into uni with me but it's useful to be able to take it to the library or to a friend's if you need to.

Sorry, just wondering did the zip on your FP bag break? Mine and a few friends zips were absolute crap :L

Yep! a bit of a funny story behind it actually.

In college those who did history and politics went on a trip to london for the day and I had that bag, and had my camera and lunch in, and it broke when we were having a tour of parliament so I spent the whole tour trying to fix the bag.

Though, I ended up emailing Fred Perry website when I got home and sent it back, and it got fixed :)

Seems to happen to everyone's haha. I was wound up, bought mine through Amazon and emailed Fred Perry who told me it was Amazons problem, not theirs. I just stopped using the zip, the way I had stuff in it, it always looked closed. Biggest waste of money I have made in years!

[iBlueBox]

Bag came today, didn't like it, haha.

Can anyone recommend a bag with longer straps? as the bags too high against my back, want it much lower like by me bum,

[Yawn]

cant u just go in town and look at rucksacks

[Metric1]

I have a North Face bag and it has lasted me since high-school.. I love it !

[compositeLegend]

I really hate sidebags for situations such as Uni, because all the weight is placed one shoulder and it really makes it uncomfortable. Also, unless you want a bulky sidebag, the smaller sidebags won't be able to store all the things you need for Uni.

Get a backpack because it's so much more comfortable and can store so much more. If you're worried about your laptop moving around in the backpack, just get a case to hold it. Or maybe find a backpack that has a specially designed pouch for a laptop.

Sorry I don't know any specific brands to look out for.

if you're going to pay that much for a knockoff herschel might as well spend a bit more to get the real thing and better quality
