The Tann's satchel: a vintage bag as popular as ever!

The small French brand will become big

The Tann's binder appeared in the late 70s, in 1978 to be precise. The history of this beautiful French brand has therefore been part of the school heritage for several generations.

It is none other than Le Tanneur, leather goods manufacturer with high standards, who was at the origin of the first school bags of the license. Unlike other school luggage, these accessories adopt bright colors and foolproof quality.

The success is immediate. And the commercial "t'as ton tann's" broadcast in the 80s establishes the beautiful image of the brand. In a spirit of cheerfulness and freedom, the Tann's rectangular bag is tearing up, and this is just the beginning!

Eco-responsible innovation

Since then, Tann's has continued to evolve. There have been highs, there have been lows. But always with the same objective: to offer quality school accessories to young primary school children, bags that are in tune with the times with always a touch of reference to the past.

It is in 2006 that the brand will be reborn. How? The company is bought by two nostalgic thirty-somethings. Yes, their old Tann's school bags tasted like madeleine... by Proust! Riding the vintage trend and the eco-responsible wave, the brand's new school bags are finding a new interest among children and their parents.

Goodbye the leather crust satchel (quite heavy, it must be said...), place the waterproof rectangular bag in recycled polyester. For the creation of a single accessory, eight one-liter plastic bottles are needed. Another major argument in a society that advocates ethics and eco-responsibility!

Creative inspiration always at the rendezvous

Every year, the collections compete in creativity. And there is something for everyone: girls and boys have access to a wide range of prints. Football or basketball fans will be seduced by the Kilian or Liam collections. Young gamers will swear by the Soan. Flowers, little hearts, golden cherries or pompoms, the luggage is adorned with fabrics all cuter than the others.

Among the latest collections, find:

• explorers;
• English;
• view from the sky;
• seaside;
• dreamers;
• recreational;
• summer garden...

The list is far from exhaustive! More than just a schoolbag, the accessory becomes a real companion for schoolchildren. Wasn't that the wish of its creator?

Reviews more than satisfied with customers

What do users think of these beautiful vintage luggage? Children love it and so do their parents! For the latter, it's a bit of a kind of legacy. Nostalgic for their own Tann's schoolbag, they are happy to offer their offspring this same schoolboy background.

Because what is a Tann's school bag? Well, it's first and foremost a style. As an accessory, he highlights a school outfit and at the same time reveals his interests to the community. The child thus introduces himself simply and sincerely to the teacher and his new classmates.

But luggage also offers other advantages:

• a rectangular shape ideal for organizing and transporting all school materials requested by teachers;
• one or two clasps to secure the whole and protect the contents from theft and bad weather;
• specific compartments ready to accommodate among others a ruler, a few pens, a schedule ...;
• two wide and adjustable shoulder straps as well as an ergonomic back panel that ensure flawless comfort for the young student in all his movements;
• reflective strips scattered around the accessory for enhanced security even outside the school.

As you can see, the Tann's binder still has a bright future ahead of him... See you next school year!

The Kipling schoolbag: to try it is to adopt it!

Who could compete with Tann's in playgrounds if not the famous Belgian brand Kipling! The latter advocates lightness, a characteristic highly acclaimed by parents. Indeed, parents' associations continue to denounce the weight of school bags. The license therefore meets a current need by creating luggage that is as flexible as it is robust.

Promising beginnings

The paternity of the Kipling brand goes to three entrepreneurs. In 1987, nine years after Tann's debut, they had the idea of making light, elegant and functional handbags thanks to a subtle alliance between quality, flexibility and modernity. The success was such that the brand quickly gained worldwide fame. Little by little, it develops new ranges of luggage: backpacks, school bags, luggage with wheels...

An innovative and responsible textile

Kipling's success is based above all on the textile used in the manufacture of all his luggage. Ultra light, it is nevertheless very resistant. The fabric that dresses the new models is the result of recycling polyester materials. It then takes 20% less water to print the pretty patterns offered by the brand on all school accessories.

By opting for a Kipling bag, students benefit from a robust binder quality and a waterproof, flexible and light textile material. Their parents show an interest in the planet by buying responsible products from a company that works every day for better protection of the environment.

Timeless design at the service of the child's well-being

In addition to the unconditional quality of its luggage, the other strength of the Belgian license lies in its timeless designs. Each accessory claims its own functionality. School bags, backpacks (with or without wheels) are equipped with compartments and other pockets perfectly adapted to receive all the school supplies requested by primary school teachers.

The school bag is flexible, ergonomic. It is easily worn on the shoulders thanks to two wide adjustable shoulder straps. These padded straps fit perfectly on the back of children as recommended by health professionals to avoid future back problems.

Because nothing is left to chance, the back panel of each model, too, is subject to study. Padded, it actively participates in the comfort of the schoolboy and schoolgirl during travel. Here, the design, as attractive and timeless as it is, contributes to the comfort of the schoolbag and therefore to the well-being of children.

Colourful collections for all tastes

Each of the accessories created by the school luggage company comes in a multitude of unique colors and colorful prints. And there is something for everyone! Gendered or not, Kipling school bags appeal to girls and boys, children and adults alike. Some like monochrome hues, others swear by floral prints or geometric patterns... It doesn't matter, as long as the bag is accompanied by the nice little gorilla keychain dear to the brand!

Each variation of print has the right to a small name (just like each little monkey by the way!). This is how "Galaxy Fun", "Cherry Tonal", "Heart Festival" or "Geo Mix Dark" are found on all the references of Kipling school luggage. So, it is easy to match several accessories: school bag, pool bag, school kit ...
