[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-- she hasn't had a backpack since 6th grade and she doesn't plan to start now. (Although she did coo over my "vintage" (lol) JanSport she found in a closet at my parents' house!) She's had a series of cheap shoulder bags and yes, I've asked her, and she wants something similar but more grown-up.

That Pyramid bag looks very nice! Bit more than I'd planned on spending though. We both loved what we saw at Shinola-- they seem like they'd age well-- but we agreed that $800-900 was too much for the purpose. I'm thinking $400-500 is more appropriate?

Good call on waiting til she gets to college and seeing what she wants once she's there. It would suck to get to school with a $500 bag and never use it because it stands out in the wrong way, or is impractical. And her birthday is in September! Plenty of time to get a sense of what would work best. [/quote]
Then I’d go with something like the Cuyana. Portland leather also gets recommended here a lot. My daughter used a nverfull in college (splurge gift from my sister) and bought the Pyramid soon after college. $ for $, the Neverfull is absolutely not worth the money. [/quote]

I have a Portland Leather tote and I’ve come to hate the fact that it is unlined. The “leather lint” gets on clothes (like if I throw a light sweater in my bag) and anything else that has the ability to rub against the sides. I retired it. [/quote]
