Don’t get us wrong – we love being grown-up. Being able to eat pizza for breakfast whenever you like? Fab. Responsibility? Great (sometimes). However, with the schools back in session this week, we’ve got sudden nostalgia for the days of being a student – a serious case of fear of missing out…
We asked around the MyBag office to find out what everyone missed about school the most – find out what we’re FOMO-ing over below…
Back-to-school stationery
Possibly the best part of going back to school, we miss the days of dithering over ring binders and trying to convince our parents that scented gel-pens weren’t banned. Somehow, we don’t think we’d be taken seriously at work if we brought our Hello Kitty pencil case to meetings (boo), but luckily, with a little help from these Aspinal of London refillable journals, our note-taking game will undoubtedly be on point…
Customising our school uniform

We spent the majority of our free periods eating toast and trying to get on Facebook using proxy sites, but nowadays would use it for much better things – like taking a peek at what’s new in on MyBag. These Lulu Guinness pieces are firmly on our wishlist…
Backpacks = Bae
Once we’d grown out of using Jane Norman carrier bags to lug our textbooks around, we were always on the lookout for a seriously stylish backpack that would be the envy of our friends. Whilst we’ve lost the ones from our schooldays, backpacks are 100% back in, so nab yourself a KARL LAGERFELD number before they sell out…
Being with your BFFs 24/7
Okay, so we had to go to lessons, and wake up early – but it still meant spending all day with our BFFs. These days, a weekly phone call for a catch-up has to suffice; luckily, with these Ted Baker iPhone cases handy, we’re looking glam whilst we gossip…
