Juicy Couture Back to School Quilted Backpack

Randomly, a few days ago, I decided to get a backpack. I don’t know why, but it was an undeniable, unavoidable urge. And though I like the North Faces and L.L. Beans of this world, I wanted a trendy backpack, one that would look cool when I wore it (who knows what place I had in mind). And then at Nordstrom’s I spotted it, the one, the backpack I wanted: the Juicy Couture Back to School Quilted Backpack.
It was soft, it was quilted, and it came in a sophisticated black color. Plus it had cute frills on the front! This was great, since it fulfilled my love of somewhat rocker and/or masculine looks (the black) with a touch or femininity (the frills). And the inside! It has all sorts of little pockets- I’m a sucker for organization. Then I tried it on, and reality set in. Sure, it was adorable and fit well, but with it on, I looked about twelve. And those patches? They had to go. Plus they had a touch of pink, and if there is any personal rule I stick to, it’s that I don’t wear pink. So I set down the frilly confection, sad but proud because I knew that if I had succumbed, I never would have worn it. If it is your style, buy it through Nordstrom for $228.
Wow, that backpack is quite atrocious! I really have no clue what age group that back pack is targeting…
The same age group that pink quilted disaster that was featured couple of days back….
$228?????
They definetely need to change their “creative” team, this is not working-there are so many brand name leather bags out there, who would be crazy enough to spent this much money on this fluff?
My daughter used to have a teddy bear backpack that looked better than this
Yikes, it’s not that ugly; its just that its called the Back to School backpack for a reason- its meant for schoolgirls to carry.
not to mention the shape of it is too small to really fit anything you would need for school…. I’ll stick with my Marc Jacobs $19 backpack thanks!
i attend all girls school so i know this would go over well, but size wisee… not so much
