I write essays (or image writting them) about why I should never buy logo bags or major designers...only because I can't afford them! lol I always secretly wish to have every single one, one of the many reasons I am here at PF to get it all out of my system!!

passer by, this is a little off topic but how can you possibly have 800 post when you only joined in feb? That would be impossible for me! You should be able to join some sort of club for that!

Enjlux, thanks for the challenge to find a Luxembourg indie designer (still searching!) because in the hunt, I came across three cool sites, two of which are:

http://www.elsewares.com

http://www.hannahzakari.co.uk

Both will ship internationally.

BTW not sure if you read my question earlier – what are the approximate dimensions of a school bag/tote?

Elsewares is brilliant, IMHO. Check out some of these designers:

http://www.elsewares.com/commerce/Turbo-Striped-Tote_MPD405.html

Holly Aiken Turbo Striped Tote $98

http://www.elsewares.com/commerce/Turbo-Dotted-Tote_MPD404.html
Holly Aiken Turbo Dotted Tote $98

http://www.elsewares.com/commerce/Strato-Tote_MPD400.html

Holly Aiken Strato Tote $85

Her own website is
http://www.hollyaiken.com

You can see more styles there. Her bags would make excellent school bags, I think (because of the materials used).

http://www.elsewares.com/commerce/Birds-of-Prey-Bag_MPD590.html
Ryan Green Birds of Prey Bag $68
16” x 14”

http://www.elsewares.com/commerce/Kimono-Bag_MPD479.html
IMOOI kimono bag $60
Love the style of this bag but is it too small? (12” x 8.5” x 4”)

http://www.elsewares.com/commerce/Two-tone-floral-Tote_MPD139.html

Kasia Dietz two-tone floral tote
Sale $34-99 (original $90)

I realize the following bag is too small but couldn’t resist posting the pic here: it’s cute …
http://www.elsewares.com/commerce/Um-Tote_MPD674.html

Hannahzakari makes pretty bags such as these:

Hope you won’t mind my posting so many suggestions, enjlux . When the World Cup starts, I’ll be watching it in earnest on TV so my time here will be reduced, and therefore to “make up” for it, I’m doing lots of posting now. :D
