Search for the perfect school back for the kids can take forever and you never really find the perfect one. For the little ones, their packs are either way to big or don't have enough pockets. For the big kids the backpacks are never big enough... for some reason the they dont use lockers anymore? and even though they arent using text books they still have a million things they need to carry... musical. Needless to say we always end up in custom bag land and over a few years have landed on some solid designs. Every so often they need repairs but are easy to make like new again.
