randoseru
Hogwarts crest and wand holder-equipped bags for the start of little wizards’ academic careers.
Turns out the Japanese randoseru school backpack is perfectly designed for cats to ride on.
Mom was worried about other kids teasing her six-year-old, but this kid is wise (and tough) beyond her years.
Eye-catching backpack and Sakura Card pass case are ready to make your commute to school or work feel a little more magical.
The classic Japanese school backpack hits the street with unusual materials and cutting-edge designs.
What better way to start the new school year than with a cake shaped like a Japanese elementary school student’s backpack?
Start the school year right: by packing your pencils and books into the comfort of a sports car backpack.
Maybe Zooey Deschanel was on to something after all. Last year, pictures surfaced of the Hollywood actress wearing a randoseru, the type of Japanese backpack that for decades has been exclusively used by elementary school kids.
This had many in Japan chuckling, but when you think about it logically, the randoseru is a sturdy, practical, and elegant design. What’s more, ones that are made to quality standards can last for years, so this Japanese company has decided to release a line of randoseru for adults, which it says are sophisticated enough for formal business situations.
A while back, we talked about adult fashionistas, including actress Zooey Deschanel, who’d become smitten with the boxy Japanese backpacks called randoseru. In Japan, though, randoseru are strictly for the prepubescent set, as they’re exclusively used by elementary school students.
That’s not to say that kids don’t appreciate a nice-looking bag, though, which is why Disney is getting in on the randoseru game, with a line of backpacks that can only be purchased inside its Tokyo theme parks, and cost the equivalent of several hundred dollars.
