    Eastpak Backpacks
    I'm trying to look for a backpack for uni it just seems more practical. I really like the eastpak backpacks but they're really expensive! I know that the quality of them is meant to be really good. Does anyone know any website selling them for cheaper?

    Also does anybody know any ones that looks similar to the eastpak ones but are cheaper?

    Thanks guys

    I love my Eastpak backpack :love: My aunt had hers for a good 15 years and it lasted amazingly. 30 year warranty too.

    I got mine for £20 off mamstore.co.uk but they don't seem to have any in stock at the moment. Keep checking back though! Also, I always see them reduced in TK Maxx and sometimes you can find them on ebay for a decent price.

    Yeah, I'd try TK maxx ^^

    I've had mine for about 3 years now, and it's still doing good - I used it every day for college and it's been to many places with me xD They're definitely worth the money.

    yeah the only thing is, I only have two more years left of uni. I'm not really sure where I would use this afterwards

    I'll be honest, I bought mine due to a massive hype in my school/area........ lasted me for 4 years now

    But a bit expensive tbh

    The "Herschel Heritage" backpack hype has begun, seeing a lot of ppl wearing them

    I have two. They are indeed expensive, but sometimes you can get them cheaper on Ebay or, as another person said, TK Maxx (though they tend to be the ones with unpopular patterns). Both of mine have survived severe overstuffing and heavy weights over the course of my university years. They've never let me down. I also have an Eastpak holdall which has taken a lot of abuse.

    If you want something which will last well I'd say go for it.

    Veryyyyyy good bags, I've had mime for about 3 years now and its still going strong. I've used it for carrying heavy climbing gear and had no problems at all. Other make I would suggest for hardwearing bags is Etnies

    I would say don't cheap out too much, you will save money in the long run with a good quality backpack that lasts. Eastpak are good, as are Jansport, so check out their website too. Then with some searching on google shopping you should be able to find the model you want at a good reduction from RRP.

    Yeah I've had mine for a while and it's lasted great.

    Eastpak are fantastic.

    I'm sure after uni there's chances you may need it, e.g. going to the gym, going for days out but bringing stuff, going to festivals, etc etc
