Notebooks, pens, that tome of a textbook
your lecturer says you just have to have for EVERY seminar… There’s no denying
that our everyday bags take a huge amount of abuse - and you might not want
to wreck your pride and joy ‘investment buy’ lugging it onto campus every day.
But where to find a roomy, practical bag that won’t cramp your style; all for
an affordable price? (You know you’d regret splashing out the day of that
inevitable first lunch/drink/biro leakage…) Never fear; Style Search is here
with the best options whatever your style - all big, beautiful, and for £50 or
less.
FASHION FORWARD
For those looking to cheer up the morning
34 bus with a little piece of Fashion Week, look no further than this River
Island slouch bag. The black colour ensures ultimate versatility; the gold
chain handles add a luxurious touch, and anything furry was HUGE on the A/W
2014-15 runway. Similarly fluffy bags featured at Fendi, Valentino and Jimmy
Choo; in fact, there seems to be an uncanny resemblance between the latter’s
ponyhair Charlie tote and this trend-led buy…
Unexpected novelty and fun design reigned
on the A/W 2014-15 catwalks (see Chanel’s Coco Lait clutch, Moschino’s
Maccy-D’s inspired ‘Happy Meal’ and Anya Hindmarch’s take on Tony the Tiger),
and what could be cuter than this owl-meets-backpack? Roomy enough for all your
bits and bobs, it is definitely reminiscent of this-season Fendi, which
featured a recurring owl motif (including a reworked version of its iconic
Baguette), as well as top luxury brand Aspinal’s latest ‘mouse’ Letterbox
rucksack. Note: It also features in badger-mode for those wanting to rock the
monochrome look…
CLASSIC
What could be a classier choice for class
than a classic satchel? (Say that ten times fast!) Spacious, featuring that
crucial hands-free shoulder strap - perfect for a cheeky coffee run before your
9AM - and most importantly bang on trend (think Miu Miu’s A/W schoolgirl-chic
look), Topshop’s excellent satchel range is where it’s at this winter.
For a pretty take on the
look, reach for the version in duck-egg blue; try lipstick red to add an
instant pop of colour to drab parkas and jumpers; or tan for a wear-anywhere,
go-with-anything, one stop option (loving the whipstitch detailing on this).
Real leather options are also available if you were tempted to go for that
investment piece after all…
GLAM
With this shoulder bags' ultra-feminine
dusty rose hue and hints of rose gold which add a touch of opulence, you couldn’t
find a prettier way to haul your books to Hallward (see what we did there?!).
For old-school glam you can’t beat a bit
of crocodile skin, and this Warehouse tote’s expensive looks defy its price
tag. With its sleek shape (not a million miles away from that of Louis Vuitton’s
Lockit…) and versatile colourway, this is a smart buy - sure to instantaneously
pull together the most hasty of campus outfits.
EDGY
What could be more Cara than a laid-back
sports chic backpack? Luckily, Urban Outfitters offers a plethora of budget-friendly
options. Try exclusive label Deena & Ozzy’s oh-so-cool 90’s grunge-inspired
clip bag, with its clever design making the luxe gold zip a focal point more
than a mere necessity. Or, for a cheerier choice, look to their buffalo check sling duffle bag. The warm hue will add instant interest to a dark palette; as
well as bringing an 80’s punk-esque hint of New York A/W Fashion Week, where
plaid reigned at Simone Rocha, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Polo Ralph Lauren.
If it’s a shoulder bag
you’re after, look to this edgier take on the satchels above, this time in soft
pebbled leather and with ponyhair trim. Relaxed, effortless and the perfect
piece of androgynous chic- just fab thrown on with your favourite Nikes and
a big cosy jumper in the morning rush.
What's your favourite lecture bag?
