Comfort means everything to you. You have the best posture in class and would like to keep it that way. Luckily, book bags are back in trend, and not just for students.

Now they’re available internationally, in both a regular size and miniature size—perfect for those days when you don’t have to lug around five textbooks at once. Available at fjallraven.com.
