I still use a backpack when I'm on my bike or motorcycle. I could see carrying it as gear, but more than that too. As long as you don't overload it so you're schlepping it around I think it'd be cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-172493 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 22:56:38 +0000 Mellllls 172493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on the website too. I just can't see myself ever using it. Some people have the ability to pull off a backpack and look chic and I am just not that person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-172362 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 16:29:25 +0000 Rosie 172362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel, I think in the back of my head I'm already planning for my trip to Italy in September. Normally I'd never carry a backpack in Europe but I thought this one might be really functional when my mom and I are walking or something and would hold more than any bag would comfortably. So, great question!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-172358 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 16:22:41 +0000 Isabel 172358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rosie, is it the bag or the types of things you would do with it ?</p> <p>I looked at it and thought what a great bag to take my kids to zoo, on a picnic, hiking in the woods, or canoeing. Even using it as a night bag for camping. It is unusual and cool. You don't see alot of interesting backpacks in the activity world.</p> <p>I guess what I am saying is that I really like it as gear... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-172353 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 16:16:03 +0000 Rosie 172353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute, too funny. You were scared, weren't you? Perhaps I will try the skirt in the same print. </p> <p>Judy, what interesting bag sites! I will definitely have to keep them in mind.</p> <p>I generally think backpacks do horrible things to clothes, and to posture. I think I just have a recent JCrew obsession but a lot of their stuff doesn't come in my size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-172349 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 16:10:18 +0000 judy 172349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rosie, is it the backpack or is it the fabric you are attracted to? </p> <p>I think it's important to follow where you are lead, but also to pay attention to where it's taking you :). </p> <p> I don't hate the backpack, but I have a thing for backpacks, and the hunting/military/uniform thing. I find army navy surplus stores fascinating! In moderation, and mixed with something contradictory, it can be fun. </p> <p>If it's the fabric, I like the suggestion of pursuing something else by J Crew in the fabric.</p> <p>If it's the backpacky thing, I think you can do better. Here's a couple of companies who do artisan type canvas-sy bags. (Clare Vivier does great all leather ones as well).</p> <p><a href="http://www.makr.com/bags-and-totes" rel="nofollow">http://www.makr.com/bags-and-totes</a> </p> <p><a href="http://seevivier.com/camp_vivier.htm" rel="nofollow">http://seevivier.com/camp_vivier.htm</a></p> <p>Not all backpacks are bad. i love this one I got very on sale at Barney's last summer, I think: <a href="http://www.breathe-design.com/2009/05/jas-mb.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.breathe-design.com/2009/05/jas-mb.html</a> </p> <p>And Makr is making one that comes out at the end of June, I think, for summer, in different color canvases; <a href="http://www.selectism.com/news/2010/05/29/makr-farm-rucksack/" rel="nofollow">http://www.selectism.com/news/.....-rucksack/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-172248 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 09:58:04 +0000 rute 172248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh.. I'm relieved!<br /> A FAB bag will be much more useful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-172198 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 05:39:12 +0000 Rosie 172198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it must be my upcoming birthday...ahh to be 16 again. J/K! I MUCH prefer the pencil skirt in this print. If only I could fit it! </p> <p>Don't worry anyone - I definitely am not buying this! I own one backpack that is definitely school gear and can't fathom wearing another one, even though people *say* they are coming back in style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-172180 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 04:02:49 +0000 Queen Mum 172180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not feeling it..... you seem much more sophisticated than this bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-172058 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 01:29:43 +0000 Frances 172058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's kind of a mixture of camouflage and an Impressionist type of print to my eyes. It must be your artistic inspiration challenge calling out to you, Rosie! These Impressionist items seem to be turning up a lot in JCrew clothing lately, especially their pencil skirts. I stopped carrying a backpack once I hit my 30s, but I am tempted by the those Impressionist pencil skirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-172051 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 01:22:23 +0000 Dashrashi 172051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They have other stuff in that print! A pretty blousey thing and also a pencil skirt! (I recently fell in love with a backpack and am having a crisis of conscience about it too. Luckily it is no longer available.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-172009 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 23:59:57 +0000 agrace 172009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rosie, I hvae this happen to me too - I'll be drawn to something and can't really tell why. I wonder if it is b/c I am still ironing out my personal fashion? I also know that sometimes I just like what I like (the heart wants what it wants type of thing). I am just saying I can relate. Remember, I liked the Gap pleated railroad BF jeans that you liked- and couldn't say exactly why. Fortunately in that case, your review was most helpful and saved me some time and money! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-172004 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 23:55:55 +0000 chewyspaghetti 172004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe it's just the idea of it. It appeals to your inner art student? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-171934 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 19:28:30 +0000 Rosie 171934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'm definitely not getting it. I'm just trying to figure out what it is I like about it. I do like the print. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-171933 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 19:27:10 +0000 Lisa 171933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a fan, I like a more structured bag and less print. Would this bag really be widely used in your wardrobe, or a one outfit wonder? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-171929 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 19:24:55 +0000 Rosie 171929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny, Jenny, I'm totally NOT into camo. I also don't particularly love the style of the backpack! So really, I have no idea what it is!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-171925 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 19:18:39 +0000 JennyK (NC) 171925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love or hate? hrm.... well it's not love for me... </p> <p>What do you like about it? Is it the camouflage vibe? The style/shape of the backback? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-171906 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 18:40:56 +0000 Scarlet 171906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The print is really cool, Rosie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-171899 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 18:20:13 +0000 Rosie 171899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I just like the print...or maybe I just want to go back to school! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-171898 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 18:18:59 +0000 Angie 171898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not so fab pour moi. Or any of my friends or clients. </p> <p>But shove it onto a funky art student in his or her teens or early 20's and I can see it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-or-hate-j-crew-backpack#post-171895 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 18:14:46 +0000 Rosie 171895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't used a backpack for anything but school in quite some time. Why am I so attracted to this one? </p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Feature_Assortment/NewArrivals/bags/PRDOVR~26388/26388.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Brows...../26388.jsp</a> </p>
