Everything you need to know about school bags
How often you replace your
school bag will depend on a number of factors ranging from the material used to manufacture your bag and its style, to the general wear and tear your bag will undergo. Some school bags might need to be replaced every year, whereas others might last you a good three to four years.
Deciding when to replace a school bag comes down to priorities and personal preference; some people put style over practicality and like to start the school year with a brand new bag, but others prefer to think about longevity and will, therefore, use their school bag until it is absolutely necessary that it’s replaced.
Personal preferences aside, with the heavy usage experienced by school bags on a daily basis, durability is a must. This is one factor that should not be compromised when shopping for a school bag as it will inevitably have an impact on how often a bag is replaced. In this article, we’ll look at some of the different school bags that might be used at the different stages of your educational journey.
