Hot in the Hive: Back to School Packs - Stylehive

Much like your choice of jeans, your choice of portage helps instantly define you to the outside world. These three very different, but very cool, new bags all reflect well on their carriers, but in very different ways.

#1 Triple Five Soul Grand Backpack

In black, army green and indigo blue (shown), Triple 5 Soul has one of the hottest traditional backpacks this Fall, with zippered pockets to hold your mp3 player, cell, PDA, wallet, and, oh yeah, your books. Our favorite detail is the striped patch on the back, the tiny touch that turns a good pack into a great one.

#2 Puma Complete Run Hydro Backpack

This ultra lightweight pack built for athletes and runners is also great for the environment. Have you been reading how much energy is used to produce and ship bottled water? Well, Puma's pack has a water bottle built right in, so you'll never be stuck paying $1.59 for 3 gulps of H20 again, and the Earth will think you.

#3 Jack Spade Nylon Canvas Day Bag

I haven't had a true backpack for several years (not a fan of sweaty back), opting instead for shoulder strapped messenger bags. This Jack Spade bag with an exterior zipper pocket for audio and an audio port for headphones is a great all-purpose bag, good for school, work, diapers - wherever you find yourself on the road of life.
