College bags for classes, labs and the commute
College days are unpredictable: lectures, the library, a lab and a long commute home. A college bag needs to carry a laptop or tablet, a few books and a charger, and still look good. SAM college bags combine easy access with solid protection.
Best for: College and university students

How to choose the right one
Match the bag to your load
If you carry a laptop and several books every day, a backpack spreads weight best. A messenger or shoulder bag suits lighter days with a laptop and a notebook.
Laptop-ready
Look for a padded compartment sized for your laptop. Measure your laptop and check the bag's internal dimensions, not just the screen size on the label.
Quick-access pockets
A front pocket for your ID, phone and earphones saves digging through the main compartment between classes.
Weather resistance
A water-resistant outer fabric protects books and electronics from monsoon showers on the way to campus.
Frequently asked questions
Is a messenger bag or backpack better for college?
A backpack is better for heavy daily loads because it spreads weight across both shoulders. A messenger bag is quicker to open and works well for lighter loads.
Will it fit a 15.6 inch laptop?
Check the product page for the laptop compartment size. As a rule, measure your laptop and compare it to the compartment, since two laptops with the same screen size can differ in body size.
