Can you believe that it’s already time for the kids to head off back to school?  I always get a little sad.  I literally cried everyday for a week when my son started kindergarten.  At our house, we have a very hard time preparing for Back to School because we enjoy our summers so much.   I’m not sure anyone in our house looks forward to it, especially when we could be at the pool, hanging out with our friends, or having a big barbeque (which we frequently do).  So to get my son excited about going back to school, I always make a big deal about the school supplies.  He gets to help pick out his new things and the most important part is always the backpack.  I can appreciate how important a cute backpack is since I am a handbag addict.  Therefore, when picking out the backpacks for vintagevirgo, I was sure to keep in mind just how important the backpack is to both parent and child (parents for the functionality, child for the “cool” factor).  We have really cute backpacks that are both functional, but really cute at the same time.  The Beatrix Backpacks are made from recycled water bottles, yes- you heard me right…water bottles!  We also offer adorable bags from Dabbawalla.  Let us know your thoughts, and best of luck getting your little ones ready for the new school year!
