J.Crew is offering the cutest satchels from The Cambridge Satchel Company, unfortunately they are in flourescent colors. Good for finding your kid in the crowd after school, but not so good for parents want something a little more traditional. Luckily you can purchase a wider selection of colors directly from the British company.
The leather bags are handmade, and range in size from 11 to 15 inches. In addition to a multitude of color options you have a choice of strap styles.You can choose between backpack straps or a shoulder straps. I would go with backpack straps. The look just screams British public (private)school. They are also nice for mommy and daddy.
These bags are built to last. Just be aware of the fact that since each bag is bespoke it can take up to a month to receive your order.

This straw and leather picnic basket makes me want to pack a fancy picnic lunch and bike to some quiet spot in the country. The country isn't so far away, but it isn't very pretty and smells too much like cow. $325

The Hitrenn bag for Adidas by Stella McCartney is the perfect back to school bag for those days when you don't need to care a ton of books. The bag is made of light blue cotton jersey. The main compartment is access from a top zipper, and there are two external zip pockets. And since teen-age girls love logos, there is a clear plastic star with the Adidas-Stella McCartney logo. $115

It is time to think about buying new lunch boxes for back to school, and this simple tote by Milkdot is more stylish than the usual cartoon covered lunch bag. And when lunch is over this insulated lunch bag folds flat for storage in a backpack. $25

Rosie Pope, the exclusive New York City maternity boutique, is having a sale on some of its diaper bags. This brown leather hobo bag is $199. Quite the discount from its original $398 price tag.

Don't spend a small fortune on a diaper bag for dad (or yourself). Buy a tactical bag designed for police to carry. It is sturdy, has a million pockets, the shoulder strap is detectable, and the main compartment can be divided in two, and it just looks cool. Who will know that one of those pockets was designed for carrying a gun. This thing is designed to carry a million things, and who carries more stuff than new parents. And the very best part is the $19.99 price tag.
