Product Description

Meet the Simple Modern Ellis Backpack - the 15L, 20L, and 25L backpack we designed for the tween-through-teen years, when your kid is somewhere between growing out of a kids backpack and picking their own school bag on the first day. Built for elementary through high school, from short walks to the bus stop to college dorm move-ins. We made it for moms like us. You already remember the laptop charger and the field trip forms - the backpack should be the easy part. The Ellis has a padded laptop sleeve, a large zip-closure front pocket, a stash pocket for the small things, two outer storage pockets, a luggage sleeve for travel days, and two expandable side bottle sleeves. Available in three sizes to grow with your kid. The 15L (16.1" x 10.8" x 6.3") fits up to 14" laptops or tablets - great for elementary school and tweens. The 20L (17.9" x 12.4" x 6.3") fits up to 16" laptops - the middle-school-to-high-school sweet spot. The 25L (18.5" x 13.2" x 7.1") fits up to 16" laptops with extra room for high school and college gear. Every Ellis is made from water-resistant Cordura polyester in a range of finishes. A thoughtful gift for back-to-school, birthdays, first-day-of-school shopping, and everyday use. The Ellis pairs with a Simple Modern Mesa Loop water bottle, our Hadley lunch bag with shoulder strap, and the Porter bento box (all sold separately) for a coordinated set your kid actually wants to carry. Para las familias que prefieren español, la mochila Ellis es perfecta como mochila para niños, mochila para niñas, o mochila para adolescentes - una cute backpack para preescolar, escuela primaria, media y preparatoria. Every Simple Modern product is thoughtfully designed for the way families really live - with care put into the everyday details and on-trend style for the whole family. So you can feel good about your purchase and maximize what your family's budget can do. Approved for ages 3 and up. Pat/Pat Pending.

    You can tell this backpack is high quality and will last for many school years. Love all of the pockets as well to fit everything for school. Big pockets are big enough for multiple folders, binders and books. So cute!

    My son carried this backpack all year long! Held up perfectly and he’s someone that usually after each semester needs a new backpack. Not this one, last all year! And still looks perfect, has side pockets still intact and so much organization inside the backpack.

    I absolutely LOVE this backpack! Not only is it functional, but also extremely durable and stylish. It has little a strap on the side to hold a water bottle in place - this was a big selling feature for us since my son’s water bottle would always slip out of his previous backpacks. It’s the perfect size for my 8 year old and provides plenty room for growth. There are many compartments to keep everything nice and organized. It even has a laptop compartment in the main pocket. I normally wouldn’t spend this much on a backpack for my child, but you can tell this is built to last! The material is nice and thick. Definitely worth the money. We added little badges to personalize it and my son can’t wait to rock it to school soon!
