Celeb-inspired back-to-school bags

With school just around the corner, it’s time to gear up for the season of lugging around textbooks and laptops.

Get a little inspiration from celebs who are just doing their everyday thing, like Rihanna and Penn Badgley. Just like us (Gasp! Really?), they have a backpack thrown over their shoulders to keep their essentials close by. I wonder what those essentials might be – but I’m guessing they don’t include a textbook.

Check out this giraffe print bag inspired by Rihanna’s Fendi version. OK, it may not cost over a thousand dollars, but it’s got a wild pattern in some earthy Fendi-esque tones. With a big main compartment, plus a small one for pens, your wallet and a cell phone, you’ll be good to go in a Jansport backpack from Bentley.

A big utilitarian-looking backpack like Penn Badgley’s will help you get down to business at school. This one has a built-in laptop sleeve, two front pockets and two side mesh ones, in case you need a couple water bottles on the bike ride – or walk – to school. The Tracker backpack is on sale at Bentley now, so get it quick!
