I remember these. I had like two of them. I remember they were really slouchy - part of the style was having them hang low on your back. I used to put pins and dolls and other decorations on them, so mine were really silly looking. But I loved them XD

those are coming back. all the girls at my junior high wear those instead of a regular backpack and just carry a binder. they are called dakine backpacks. you can also get them in a normal size, but ive only seen one person with a dakine backpack the size of a normal backpack. i have one of the mini ones in purple.

I had the whole Cher thing going. But I only had like 2 outfits. I eventually conformed back to alternative...the alternative right after grunge. Remember, your pants actually fit again and were bootcut Angels from bodyshop?! I misssss the 90's!!!

does anyone remember when tickle me elmo came out and it was the thing to have? i was like 7, but my sister was in middle school and every day we'd driver her around looking for an elmo backpack. these were popular to wear but instead of a regular bag, it would be a cartoon character or children's show character! hha

I was a little kid in the nineties, so I did have one of those. But mine had Teletubbies on them.

I remember these bags. I had one. I enjoyed it so. I have never ever thought about this bag until now. A difference a decade makes.

I still have one! I got it when I was about six years old. I wear it to the mall every now and then =)

Those are coming back, I see people at the university wearing those.
James - December 28, 2009 - Report this comment
God those were ugly. I was loathe to see any girl wearing one and I think most men (boys, I would suppose, at the time.) thought the same thing.

I had a University of Kentucky Wildcats one...even the boys at my elementary school thought that was pretty cool.

I was cleaning out some stuff the other say and found mine. I had 5 in various colors with a million keychains and the digital pets (tamigotchi, tiger).

I got a bunch of really nice hammy down ones from my older cuz. At my school in kind of a verison of this the boys wear like Dora the Explorer, Care Bears, Telatubies kid back packs. Some of my friends have the regualar little purse backpacks too.

I have one and have used it for quite a while. It's so much easier than a purse---especially when you already have more than enought to carry:)

I had forgotten about these! My favorite was a shiny yellow vinyl one, round and with a smiley face on it, minuscule! With long, thin straps that looked like vinyl tubes. Worn by a friend who got it in New York in 1990.

I drive a school bus, and I have one of these. I can wrap the strap around my seat post on the bus. Better than a regular purse in my opinion.

Oh MAN! I had two of them! Both of them... classic 90's floral print! I still have them both. They zippered up the back and you could wear them over one shoulder or wear it as a regular backpack (as one-shouldering it was "the cool thing" to do back then) and I would put almost everything in it. One time, one of them got caught in the rain with a Boxcar Children book in it! Ahaha, the memories!

Every girl in my 6th grade class in'95 absolutely had to have one of these. Mine was made of dark teal canvas.
