It’s that time of year again—summer is over, and it's time to trade in your beach totes for the perfect school bag. Whether you’re feeling excited, nervous, or a bit of both as you head back to campus, there’s one thing you can control: your style. We’ve crafted a guide to help you return to school feeling confident.
Why Tote bags?
Tote bags are practical for schools because of their spacious design, which easily fits books, laptops, and other essentials. Their open-top style allows quick access to your items, while strong straps ensure comfort and solidity for daily use. Plus, tote bags often come with additional pockets for organization, making them functional and convenient!
Here are our favorites - but we have plenty more, check the website!
The Louis Vuitton Everyday Tote is your perfect classroom companion. Its MM size holds everything from your laptop to books, and it’s reversible. Built to handle a lot, this stylish bag has delicate-looking straps that are stronger than they appear—just be mindful of your shoulder!
The Christian Dior Diorcamp Messenger Tote and Chanel Reverso XL Bag are perfect for back-to-school. This modern and relaxed look for Dior, has space and can be worn over the shoulder or crossbody, making it the perfect companion for uni.
The Chanel reverso XL has the right size for your books and computer, able to fit your essentials and have a timeless bag that fits with your outfits. It's neutral color allows you to wear it with almost anything. Chanel ensures quality and longevity, make this one your perfect companion.


This bag is for you if you like old-school luxury aesthetic. Produced in 2004, its brown and used look gives character to your outfit. This bag offers a unique and timeless aesthetic that modern bags cannot replicate. Own this design history and face your new decade with this two-decade bag.

Of course, school is the priority, but what is campus life without its nightlife?
Looking for a small bag big enough to fit your phone and your best friend’s phone? We’ve got you covered. This bag is also considered vintage, as it was made in 2001. To perfect your outfit, put this bag on your shoulder and have fun without worrying about it being stolen!

Or you could stick with the classic choice: a backpack. Always practical, with comfortable shoulder straps and plenty of space, a backpack lets you carry everything you need without straining one shoulder. Contrary to popular belief, backpacks can be stylish and make a great addition to your outfit without giving off a grade-school vibe.
Here are our favorites:

These two ensure style and practicality. The iconic LV monogram and its color make it a timeless and easily recognizable piece. These stylish backpacks are crafted of Louis Vuitton's signature monogram-coated canvas. Large enough to hold a laptop, the dean backpack has inside pockets plus a zipped front pocket to keep everything neatly organized and easily accessible.
The Palm Spring is a little bit smaller and cannot fit a laptop, but like Louis Vuitton said: “it gives a fresh twist to a utilitarian staple, transforming it into an on-trend city bag. A chic and practical accessory for sporty urban nomads.”
On an ending note, you will do amazing whatever bag you choose, the most important is to feel confident and start the year with a good companion that will accompany you every day.

This was my first time visiting this designer consignment shop, and wow—next level! The selection is incredible: Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior… row after row of stunning bags at amazing prices. The staff couldn’t have been nicer, and the owner even came out to introduce herself—she’s an absolute wealth of knowledge.
I wasn’t even in the market for jewelry, but I ended up falling in love with (and taking home!) a white ceramic and rose gold Bulgari ring at a fantastic deal. I’m officially hooked and will definitely be back!
It’s always a fun experience to stop by and chat and see what’s new. This time I came away with the cutest LV phone bag. I’ve been wearing it ever since.
