5 out of 5 starsI love the flowers! That perfect pop of pretty and happiness...couldn't wait to gift it to my daughter who fell in love with it too. Beautiful craftsmanship, inside and out. Soon after, I purchased the other backpack for myself!

Thank you Joan! I'm glad your daughter loves it! And happy you'll have one too. A note about the design: My mother (who taught me how to sew) made a lot of my clothing when I was a child and one of my favorites was a jumper with a very similar flower motif, with simple flowers and trim and ric-rac for the stems which she appliqued onto the front. So these backpacks are a kind of homage to her. And yes, I made a backpack for myself! Makes me happy every time I use it.
