The upperclassmen are set to return from summer jobs and studies abroad; before you know it, freshmen will be stumbling around with campus maps in their hands and puzzled looks plastered across their faces. One can practically hear the roar of a crowded football game. In short, it’s time to stock up on school supplies.

For several years now, it’s been the norm for students to bring their laptops with them to lecture halls. This practice allows them to jot down notes in a text document at a much greater speed and proficiency than pen and paper would allow. Some classes have even become interactive, encouraging online participation. Without fashionable laptop bags to tote their trusty computers, students are stuck in the past.

But even now, in these dog days of summer, the signs are everywhere: School is coming; it’s best to be prepared. Back-to-school sales are often the first indicator of fall’s imminent arrival. The middle of summer is often the best time for conscientious parents to stock up on essentials.

Partly due to their prevalence in movies and television, designer accessories are all the rage. Many parents are tempted to put their foot down and proclaim the virtues of function over cost and aesthetics, but it’s in fact possible to have both. Designer backpacks flaunt the cultured style reminiscent of Chanel and Louis Vuitton without sacrificing their original purpose: toting books and laptops.
