i used the longchamp le pliage as my bookbag all thru college... i went thru two large black ones. and when my cousin got into barnard, i got her the same one in black as a grad present. definitely practical, sturdy, and still cute.

This bag is a truly versitle bag that can be taken anywhere. This bag will last a lifetime, and look good the entire time.

These come in all colors (limited selection, but hot colors none the less), , and sizes, and will last you forever. I own a slightly darker blue one and take it to school everyday (my sister has the plum and we trade sometimes).
