ll bean


Question Posted Tuesday September 5 2006, 8:31 am

I'm a 13 year old girl going into 8th grade, and i am getting a new backpack. I was wondering if an llbean one would be out of style or babyish? If so what other kind do you reccomend, and if not, what color should I get. I was thinking pink but is that kind of childish?

L.L. Bean is fine for an 8th grader. And pink isn't childish, as long as it isn't gaudy and floral. But I wouldn't recommend getting it monogrammed :)

If you decide not to get L.L. Bean, here are some good brands:
Northface
Under Armor (I had no idea they made backpacks until recently, but they're really nice)
Columbia
Jansport

You can find these online or at most sporting goods stores.

I hope I helped!

I say:

1. LL Bean is really cool. So is Jansport. They are usually one color, but then they never go out of style!!!! Plus, the double pocket ones are roomy and durable.

2. Pink is ah-dorable!

3. If you get a backpack, try to get a color not too bright, not a rolling, and MAKE SURE to get a good brand, if you're planning on keeping it for a while.

4. Under Armour has some nice ones.

5. If you get a plain color, you can personalize it with puffy paint!!!

LL Bean backpacks NEVER go out of style, are you kidding? =]

I had one for a coupel years in middle school and i LOVED it. Jsut don't get a super-trendy pattern that you know you'll be sick of later on, because these backpacks last for YEARS and never wear out (you'll want to use it)

I got a bright blue Hawaiian print and regretted it. I now have a Mudd messenger bag, which a lot of people have this year (the messenger bag style). I guess that wouldn make it "trendy".

Whenever you get a backpack, though, make sure it's one that YOU like, and will be comfortable for you to carry. Remember, YOU'RE the one lugging that around all year!

And by the way, pink NEVER goes out of style <3

Good luck in 8th grade! It's a great time, trust me =)

It's all about personal preference. I don't think pink is babyish at all. If you like that style, go for it. I'd think it would look nice!! :)

8th grade? Not many people nowadays care for what your backpack looks like. I kept the same Jansport backpack from when I was in the 5thgrade to highschool. Most schools have to keep there backpacks in there locker anyways, So you see at the bus stop, on the bus, & until you get to your locker.
people spend way to much for a backpack nowadays.

Anyways Pink itsn't childish? If you a got a dora backpack than that be childish.
I do reccomend Jansport because they last a long time, thats why there so popular. As i said my lasted me awhile.

By the way, have fun in the 8th grade!
