The Quality Promised

The choice of materials really depends on what you're looking for in a school bag. But one thing is certain, no matter the choice, the quality of the material, it is not negotiable ! Thus, each piece of baggage must have:

• Robust, waterproof fabric ;
• Strong seams ;
• Aesthetic reinforcements ;
• A protective closure system ;
• A padded back panel ;
• and in the case of a wheeled bag, a quality trolley device.

Additional options

To go further, some school bags offer features that are as practical as they are safe. These added elements often demonstrate a desire on the part of manufacturers to offer an elaborate product, perfectly designed to meet the expectations of children and parents. And so, a strong desire to create a High-quality luggage.

Here are some exemplary options that some school bags are equipped with:

• Reflective strips or elements that ensure the child's visibility to motorists ;
• Specific compartments, e.g. for transporting a computer, a glasses case, a ruler or even a water bottle ;
• Easy and practical solutions to prevent deterioration of shoulder straps, especially when travelling with the trolley system ;
• the location for a name tag or timetable.

Thus equipped, the school bag asserts itself as a high-quality school accessory. But what about its price ?

2. Decipher the price differences for a school bag

When you're looking for a children's school bag, you see everything ! Prices range from single to triple, whether in-store or online. A bit like for clothes, you can find school bags for 15 euros as well as 150 euros. But what really justifies such a price discrepancy? ? That's what we're going to see together !

The quality of the accessory

You're probably thinking: a good, well-thought-out, practical school bag with top quality materials, that's for sure, it's going to show on the price ! But, it's for a good reason. Find out why...

Branded product

Some bags are the work of major school luggage brands. Some Brands with undeniable know-how. Present on the market for many years, they continue to impose their style on schoolchildren and their parents thanks to the quality of their product. For sure, they won't disappoint you !

✨ Tann's, Kipling or Rip Curl are very good examples. In fact, these items are very often sold with a warranty ! Manufacturers trust their products and let you know it... Again, the jump from the mark to the school bag increases the price !

Unique Baggage

There's also the unique effect. More and more school supplies (including kindergarten bags) are created by young seamstress entrepreneurs. The time spent on the making of the accessory as well as the price of the fabrics and other materials used are naturally taken into account in the final selling price.

The model at issue

The price of school baggage also differs depending on its nature. Backpack, Wheeled satchel or shoulder bag, not all of these school accessories are in the same boat !

Indeed, the Price of a trolley will be much higher than that of a backpack. This is due to the addition of a device with a telescopic handle and wheels (possibly PVC feet for a good hold of the luggage) which implies an additional cost for the manufacturer. A cost that has a direct impact on the final price.

But then, how to choose a bag that suits your budget and your child's needs ?

3. Depreciate the price of the school bag by the duration of use

The right price of the school bag should be established according to its use ! Indeed, we have just discussed the notion of the price of a good school bag. And like many other products on the market, the higher the quality of an item, the more robust and therefore durable it is.

✨ Yes, as a parent, you have to ask yourself a question: what justifies the price of the school bag ? And for that, the question arises: what use do you want to make of this student companion ?

One school year and that's it !

You like the idea of one binder per year. In that case, there's no need to break the bank. It is possible to find a happy medium between price and quality and thus find a nice accessory without breaking the bank.

➡️ The goal: to make it last long enough to last during the school year. At the start of the next school year, it will be replaced.

This solution is possible if:

• Your child falls for a popular license bag. Yes, he's the star character of the playgrounds of the moment. But what about next year? ? Will it still be to your child's liking, or will it be considered cheesy by most classmates ?
• Your child is in kindergarten, which implies that it grows a lot every year. If you want to give him a piece of luggage that is well adapted to his morphology and thus preserve his comfort, it is best to change it every year. This way, you are opting for a school bag of the ideal size that your child will enjoy carrying around every day.
• It's the middle of the year and your student's bag has cracked ! You need a new piece of luggage quickly, but you don't have a big budget to spend on this new school accessory. Try to turn to a school bag with the best possible value for money in a store or on a specialized site.

Minimum two years !

Your motto: a school bag is a long-term investment ! You like to buy quality products and you can afford it. In any case, you make sure to free up a budget for the students' favorite school accessory.

But this sacrifice is not unconditional. You prefer to opt for a quality product, with good guarantees (like those offered by the major brands of school luggage).

➡️ The goal for you: that this bag can accompany your child's schooling for several years before, perhaps, being entrusted to his little brother or cousin.

It's a different calculation: more ecological, certainly more responsible and in some cases more economical ! Yes, depending on how your child will use their school bag, the regular maintenance you offer them and the starting quality of the accessory, you will be able to keep it in good condition for 2, 3 years or even more...

✨ If you buy your child's school bag for a hundred euros and the child keeps it for 3 years, then it costs you about 33 euros per year ! That's the average price of an entry-level bag that's not even sure to make it through the year... Interesting, no ?

↘️ Responsible parents, think about recycling your school bag !

So, what's your motto for the upcoming school year ?

4. Avoid pitfalls !

Be careful, a high price does not always guarantee that the school bag will last forever. That's where the problem lies... This is where you have to be smart to choose well ! Here are some tips to help you choose the best luggage at the right price.

Supermarket vs. online site: where to buy the school bag ?

School accessories are mainly found in leather goods stores, supermarkets (at the start of the school year) or on online sites.

Brick-and-mortar stores

In physical stores, you have the opportunity to touch the product and therefore evaluate its robustness, weight and the quality of its finishes. And often, it's the same feedback:

• Either the product is ultra qualitative, but unfortunately ultra expensive ;
• or the product is not very robust with an average price.

Indeed, the leather goods store generally offers quality products that are much higher than those in supermarkets, but for a fairly substantial price.

Supermarkets

To answer this question, you need to understand the goal of big box stores, which is to find the ideal price that will sell a lot. Very often, the manufacturer is not able to design the school bag at the imposed price, so he will have to review his specifications, reduce the materials used, remove certain accessories or reduce the thickness of the fabric, the aim being to lower the manufacturing cost to meet the requirements of these hypermarkets. When the price seems low, we invite you to touch the product, to inspect it well, to examine its solidity because you have understood, its longevity will not be guaranteed.

In supermarkets, you will find low prices and mid-range items that will have some difficulty lasting the entire school year.

Finally, it is impossible to find a school bag in January: it is no longer the season in hypermarkets!

Buying on the internet

When making an online purchase, touching the item is not possible ! But you'll still be able to find all the information you're looking for by studying the product description and looking at customer reviews. There's no better way to get a fair idea of the product than to compare all the comments left by customers.

✨ In addition, a Shop specialising in school luggage guarantees you a great choice. Small Trolley for Kindergarten Girls, School bag for primary school children or a backpack for schoolchildren, all members of the family will find what they are looking for among an ever-refined selection of items.

This online store also promises you competitive prices. Merchants negotiate for you with suppliers. Thus, you will find many school bags sold with a one- or two-year warranty, attractive prices that are constantly in line with market prices and the guarantee of good after-sales service.

Another plus point is that the online shop is open all year round, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week !

Product Comparison: Yes, but How ?

You've seen a Cars satchel in a supermarket. Before confirming your purchase, you quickly check your phone to find this product on the internet. Weird: It's priced higher online ?

⛔ Don't be fooled by a simple photo !

It is important to read the description of the product sheet carefully. There, you will realize that the item seen in your supermarket is not exactly the same as the one offered online... One less compartment, more weight, non-adjustable shoulder straps, missing reflective strips, etc. : so many details that make all the difference in terms of quality and therefore the price of the luggage !

✨ It's a fact, the quality charter of the school bags you will find in supermarkets is not the same as that of specialized shops (physical or online).

Is it possible to find a primary school bag for less than 10 euros? ?

Find a School bag for less than 10 euros ? Oh, it's possible, but get ready for a real little challenge !

Unless you come across very competitive clearance offers (i.e. luggage from old collections), you should know that the cost of manufacturing a primary school bag generates different costs. This ranges from the choice of materials to the manufacture of the product. It is on them that the minimum quality of the school accessory depends. A quality that must ensure comfort, durability and safety for the child. But you now have all the keys in hand to choose the right future companion for your child !

At the end of the day, understanding the price of a school bag isn't just about numbers. It also means learning to recognize the value that this baggage will bring to your child's daily life.

From ruggedness and ergonomics to safety and customization options, every detail counts in the quest for the perfect school bag. We hope this guide has helped you demystify price tags and given you the keys to choosing quality luggage that suits you and your child's needs, without going over budget.

✨ Remember, investing in a school must-have that combines comfort, durability, and style is a smart choice that will benefit your young learner throughout the year, and sometimes even beyond.
