I've just got a handbag for year 10 and it still has the tag so I can return if need be. I packed it with 5 old school books, pencil case, water bottle, lunchbox, emergency kit, little body spray and a little hairbrush. The bag zips up fine with this but it also feels a bit like I'm playing jenga when packing. I can manage with this but there's only room for about one or maybe two textbooks in there.
