Every year around this time, plenty of grownups -- even the ones without kids -- begin to feel the back-to-school spirit. Is it nostalgia for years gone by, or stress about work just framed in a different way? We're guessing it's a little of both. But one thing is sure: there's no reason we shouldn't get in on the back-to-school-shopping fun.
Right now Urban Outfitters is the place to go for reliving your pre-fall retail memories. That's because it's currently got some super-cute new satchels, backpacks, and laptop cases that are perfect for working stiffs and co-eds alike.
Here, a few of our picks:
Trompe L'Oeil Laptop Case ($29, bottom left): This canvas laptop case adds a playful twist to your hardware with a cartoonish plaid satchel design.
Cooperative Plaid Professor Satchel ($59, top right): Red plaid is reminiscent of school uniforms, and also perfect for fall outfits. Big enough for a laptop with a pushlock front flap closure.
Deux Lux Zip-Flap Corduroy Backpack ($69, bottom right): Though it's shaped like a satchel, this soft carry-all is actually a backpack. Roomy enough for a laptop, with several closable pockets and a top carry handle option.
Cooperative Two Tone Professor Satchel ($69, top left): Two-tone faux leather adds a sophisticated "I'm a real academic" vibe to your look. Antique hardware and front panel pen holder pockets add to the scholarly effect.
