Buying a new bag for sixth form?

Hi everyone! This is a really random and silly question but I'm conflicted if I should buy a new bag for sixth form or stick with my current bag. I'd be looking to by a longchamp from vinted for 40 - 60 pounds (with money saved up from my birthday) instead of sticking with my current EASTPAK bag. My sixth form doesn't have a smart dress code at all (too add some extra context if this helps). Could someone tell me if this is worth it and if people use normal backpacks still? Thank you!

Hi @rebeccawootliff

I went through a lot of bags at Sixth Form because I changed my mind a lot about what type of bag I wanted! I found that a backpack was the most practical option because I often had a lot of heavy books and folders to carry which fit into my backpack better than my other bags.

I would recommend trying to think practically about it, will everything fit in the bag that you want to get? But also if you want to treat yourself then go for it, it is a great way to get ready and start to feel ready for Sixth Form.

Good luck for starting Sixth Form!
