Back to school time is almost upon us. That might be enough to elicit groans from teens, but a cute messenger like this Harajuku Lovers bag should make the transition a little easier.
The Panda-Monium print is so adorable, it should put a smile on any dial. It’s far too busy to work on a high-end fashion bag, but it’s perfectly placed here. The aqua background provides a colorful contrast to the black and white print. But I could have done without the Harajuku Lover cherry charms, which seem to overcomplicate the design. If you are also immune to their cutesy appeal, they’re easy enough to remove.
But a messenger can’t work on looks alone. Thankfully this one’s got enough functional features to suit any teen. The waterproof lining ensures that the bag stands up to accidental water bottle leaks. The two pockets on the front close with Velcro patches. They’re complemented by a handy zippered compartment on the back. If this isn’t enough for you, there’s also another large zip pocket inside.
Teens change their mind like the weather, so it’s good to note that this bag retails for just $68. No parent wants to spend a fortune on something that will be traded in next year!
