Bags and Backpacks are an essential accessory for everyday life whether you need a bag for school, college, travel, or the gym which is why here at Blue Banana we know you want a design that you will love. It isn’t just the look that is important but with high-quality, durable backpacks we know you are going to be wearing your new bag plenty of times. Whether you need to carry your books to school or need a clutch bag for an evening out, there are so many occasions when a bag will come in handy. Here at Blue Banana, we have got plenty of different styles covered so you can keep up appearances for any occasion with your awesome alt style.
With so many bags to browse, we have separated them into categories to make it easier when you are shopping online. You can see size guides for our bags too, so you can be confident they will have room for all your essentials.
If you are searching for backpacks for travelling you will need plenty of compartments and space to keep your belongings organised. We recommend trying out a travel backpack because it will leave your hands free to explore and take plenty of pictures. With several brands to choose from, you can enjoy plenty of designs from galactic to holographic styles.
If you are looking for bags and backpacks for school then you may need a plain design to keep with your school policy. You can filter each section by color to help you find the most suitable design. If your school allows you to have any color backpacks then we know you will have fun choosing the perfect style for you. Here is a taster of some of the backpacks brands we stock:
Some schools allow messenger bags and backpacks so if you have decided you would prefer a satchel style then you can enjoy pop culture bags or gothic designs. From your favourite superheroes to comic strip styles, these bags will look amazing and are the perfect shape to fit in all your books. If you love to switch styles for school or college then why not stock up on a variety of book bags and backpacks?
While one of our biggest ranges is backpacks we do also stock an awesome range of alternative styles. Our handbags range features plenty of vintage and gothic styles in various sizes. From compact clutch bags to large shoulder bags, you can select the perfect look for your outfit. Among other brands, we stock our very own Blue Banana brand bags and plenty of Banned handbags too.
Like we mentioned earlier, there are so many purposes for bags. You have heard about our backpacks for school and you know all about our range of gorgeous handbags for your evening look but what about bags for shopping? With stores now charging for plastic bags all across the UK, it makes sense to bring your own. We know you will want your bag to match your style, especially if you are heading to the high street for some retail therapy.
If you are looking for comfort when you carry a bag then why not try our crossbody bags? This style is perfect for people who don’t like carrying a handbag and prefer a bag with a longer strap. The crossover effect should help you feel more comfortable with the weight of the bag and will leave it closer to your body. The Hype Roadman range is a great example of this style. It is compact and therefore perfect for holidays or walking but it has enough room for everything you will need.
