This is a fantastic back-to-school bag for so many reasons. Kenneth Cole New York is a great youth brand; its bags are stylish and fun, and good quality for the affordable price. This is also a classic style that would serve a high school or college student well. Plus it has an exciting purple color and creative seaming and gathered details that take it a bit above a plain hobo, although it does also come in black and white for conservative tastes!

To some, around $200 may seem like a lot for a bag for a teenager (or a grown up!) but if a girl is coveting Coach or other brand name bags this may be a happy compromise that will probably last almost as long.

The best parts of this bag to me are the diagonal seaming and barbell-fastened gathers at the bottom of the bag. This is a great lesson in how to take a classic, traditional shape and jazz it up a bit. I also really like this purple.

The bag is small, but that can be good for school if you're also carrying books or a backpack. It will certainly hold a wallet, keys and all the makeup you need to get through the day.
