Back to School - Must-Haves

🕤 3 min read

Even though it feels like schools only just shut down for summer, it is never too early to find the new bag to carry you through the coming school year whether as a student, parent or teacher. Start back to school shopping now to find your style. 

Here are a few suggestions to freshen up your look and a practical accessory for day in and day out use. 

Make a Statement

For many, starting college, sixth form or university is the perfect time to reinvent yourself and look. Make a statement with your bag, our personal favourite is the Monet in the gorgeously rich Burgundy. 

An understated colour that matches with any outfit and adds an air of sophistication. It’s not all style over substance though as this tote is perfectly sized for all your essentials from folders to stationary to make studying a joy. We are all stationary fiends in this office, no judgement here. 

School Run 

The daunting feeling of your child’s first day at school is fast approaching but with a trusty tote bag, you can make it a breeze.

For a first time mother in a rush you have to have a grab and go bag that is fuss-free. That is why the Pembury in Jet Black is the perfect choice with its vegetable-tanned leather which is robust and can handle a bit of wear and tear. The unlined design means the main compartment is all in one; making a supermarket style sweep of the side ensures you can have all your essentials in one spacious bag. 

To add a pop of colour, we love the Misty Rose coloured leather. 

For those looking for all hands free to ensure a smooth drop off and ensuring you have all the essentials is a must. The backpack has become your go-to. 

For a spacious backpack, look no further than the Abbey from Cultured London’s Eco Collection. The unique Moonlight Blue colouring combined with the multiple storage features allow for perfect organisation to ensure you can grab whatever you need at that exact moment. You will have perfected the art of the school drop. 

Teaching the Future

Teachers looking for a tote bag to make the trips from classrooms easier, don’t need to look much further than the Aster in the rustic and warming Hazelnut. Crafted from beautifully multi-toned gold standard natural leather for a unique look, this design is the perfect balance of classic and contemporary. Outside of the looks, this bag is packed full of storage features for all your essentials. Spacious and stylish, the central compartment is lined with natural and untreated 100% natural cotton for a flawless finish. 

However, you are preparing for the new school year, don’t forget to enjoy your summer holiday and a well deserved rest.
