10 Cute Fashion Backpacks Under $40

I am on the hunt for the perfect backpack purse. Something that is functional for carrying all the essentials during busy days or traveling, but that has more of a purse vibe so it can be versatile.

As embarrassing as it is to admit, I’ve spent a copious amount of hours browsing backpacks online over the past week to prepare for a few upcoming trips. I haven’t found “the one” quite yet, or at least I haven’t bought it. But, I’ve bookmarked several that have caught my eye that I wanted to share!

Using backpacks as purses has been becoming more popular amongst working women, moms, and girls on the go, both in and outside of a school setting. These backpacks are great for if you carry a lot of must-haves with you, and some can even accommodate tech items like iPads and Laptops.

    I thought about getting a fashion backpack recently. Thank you for the post . However, what I do not like about fashion backpacks is that the flap and the zipper usually faces outside. I feel that someone is going to open the flap or unzip the zipper when I am a little distracted. I will just be extra cautious since I do like them.

      There are a few that actually have a secret zip pocket that faces the back– those are where I keep important things like passports, my wallet/IDs etc!
