The 10 Best Mini Backpacks

A Swedish staple that's easy to spot on the streets of Brooklyn, Berlin, and Stockholm, the Fjallraven Kanken Classic (about $69) is popular with the hipster set. That being said, it's a durable and practical option that boasts straps large enough for most adult's shoulders.

Whether you need something for your little one to carry their lunch in or you just feel like adding a playful accessory to your own wardrobe, the Wildkin Olive Pack 'n Snack (around $20) will do the trick. It's available in patterns ranging from dinosaurs to butterflies.

Brought to you by one of the most trusted names in the industry, the Jansport Half Pint (appx. $33) is available in 24 colors and patterns, some of which are fun and whimsical, while others are more subdued. Its 600-denier polyester construction is pretty durable, to boot.

Basic, but functional, and made in a wide array of bold colors, the Hotstyle Cute Bestie (appx. $24) is an ideal companion on day trips and nights out. Though small, it has plenty of pockets and compartments to keep your electronics, water bottle, pens, and notebooks separated.

From the classic Texas-based brand Americans have loved since 1918, the Dickies Dot (around $14) does not disappoint. You can get one with a fun tropical design or a natural riverbed rock finish, or keep it simple with a timeless black color.

Because each one is handmade from the cloth of authentic Mexican blankets, every Baja Ponchos (about $19) is unique. They come in an attractive blue color with rainbow accents that allow them to go with almost any outfit you can dream up.

Look like you just stepped out of the future with the Zicac Laser Holographic Daypack (around $30), which also works as a full-sized kids' bag. With a 12-liter capacity, it's large enough to hold books, small tablets, and more without being too cumbersome.

Thanks to its classy synthetic leather design, the Z-Joyee Casual School Purse (around $20) can be worn with almost any ensemble, from casual attire to business wear. It comes in a wide variety of colors and features a total of five pockets to help you stay organized.

Perfect for cat lovers, the Donalworld School Bag (around $19) features a few designs to remind you of your furry friends while you're on the go. While it is quite small, it's just large enough to accommodate most tablets, and is available in several colors and styles.

If you don't like attention, the Style.Lab Sequin Magic (about $23) may not be for you. But if you like to make a bold statement with your sartorial choices, its sparkling exterior will certainly do the trick. A swipe of the hand changes the color for added flair.
