“I was looking for a backpack that was large enough to fit all my necessary school supplies but also looked stylish and cute and my friend has the same backpack as this one and I fell in love. I’m able to take my laptop with me without having to carry it separately with a laptop case and worrying about if I misplace it,” another wrote. “The interior design is great as well. I love how the compartment for my laptop keeps it secure and safe from the rest of my school supplies. I feel very organized with this backpack and can fit a lot of other stuff into it if I need to without having to worry about it looking too bulky.”
