Over the course of the semester, bags get worn and broken, zippers break, material tears. But finding good big backpacks for college and high school is not easy. The market is over-saturated, which doesn’t help, but finding the right balance between convenience and quality can be a little tricky sometimes. That’s why I’m always going to go for John Peters New York backpacks, because they hit that balance right on the sweet spot.

The thing about John Peters New York is that they are thoroughly practical without being boring.

I have noticed many brands hopping on the avant-garde fashion wave, and I’ve seen an enormous amount of oddly blocky backpacks with diagonal zippers and such, or smaller, brightly colored leather bag with thin straps.

As pretty as these bags may be, when it comes down to the dirty work — hauling your textbooks — I’m not convinced they’re up for it!

But I do trust John Peters New York. All of the brand’s models are designed by the same guy who first figured out that Cordura Plus Nylon — the most common material used for backpacks today — was the most reliable choice for backpacks, and that plastic zippers could be just as strong as metal.

Because of that, John Peters New York’s backpacks are heavy duty, very strong, and built to last. But they’re also not boring to look at, coming in a range of styles and colors, including bright ones like purple, neon orange, and hot pink. If you want to make a fashion statement, you can — but also, at the end of the day, you can dump your textbooks and a laptop in there, and it won’t break down.

When it comes down to the big game, the final exam, the days that really count — John Peters New York backpack takes home the MVP every time. Get yours today and find out more on www.johnpetersnewyork.com!
