The New Bags: Rucksack VS Satchel

I was recently in Topshop, a palace of treasures on Oxford Street, when I stumbled upon the bag collection. I say stumbled, the minute you enter the store you are surrounded by them. The smell of leather and plastic beautifully merged. I noticed that Topshop had really endorsed two particular bag styles, ones so old school they were chic. Reintroducing the rucksack and satchel, the perfect bags to cram all your stuff into! But which do you pick? Here are some of great examples from the high street:

  1. I have to admit some of the little backpacks places are selling really are quite cute! Their way too small though because I like to carry around a book, so I adore satchels :) xo

  2. Hi Lucinda,

    I don't think I can get into the backpack craze, but I love the satchels!!

  3. I desperately need a new bag for uni, and I love satchels so I may have to have a look in Topshop myself. I'm a fan of the satchel-rucksack hybrid, but I think I'll always go with a shoulder or across the body bag as my staple one, just because I find them more convenient when I need to get something out (: My fave of your picks it's the blue and black style, so chic :3
    And I wish I lived near London, there's no shopping experience like it, is there? My friend is moving to Uni near the city, so hopefully I'll be crashing there a lot!
    Anyways, sorry for my ramblings, awesome post and awesome blog :D xoxo
