I have been seeing way more stylish backpacks recently, but I’m still on the fence about whether it’s cool to wear them outside of school. Matt & Nat, one of our favorite vegan leather collections, has added a studded backpack to the mix.

With classes starting over the next couple of weeks, I had to feature some of the hautest backpacks in stores. My first pick is Juicy Couture BTS Nylon Backpack with diamond-quilted nylon, pleated ruffles, leather trim and nickel hardware.

It’s not easy to find stylish laptop bags, so I was happy to come across the LeSportSac Schooner Print Lexie Tech Tote. A nylon tote with spring clasp at sides, contrast banding and silver hardware. Lined interior features zipper pocket, 3 patch pockets, and dividing padded center compartment for laptop protection. Price: $138 at Shopbop.

I recently made the switch to Apple and purchased a MacBook, which I absolutely love! The day after my MacBook arrived, I found the cutest BUILT laptop sleeve to keep it from getting scratched up.

There is a new shopping experience called Talk Market. The concept is very cool and a new way to shop for handbags.

Hayden-Harnett has a line of backpacks and messenger bags that are simple and chic.

Founded in 2001, Y-3 represents the style collaboration of Yohji Yamamoto, an avant-garde Japanese fashion designer, and international sporting brand Adidas.

From the pages of the Hayden-Harnett Spring/Summer 2009 Catalog, you will find a fresh color palette of brights, pastels, prints and metallics.

One of my most dedicated supporters, my dad, was the inspiration behind HandbagReport.com’s new segment, Bags for Men.
