Students Tote Textbooks in Style
By Shahrzard Rezvani | October 3What used to be an efficient device for lugging around a day's worth of textbooks has become an element of style. With the introduction of the messenger and sling-style bags, combined with redesigned two-strap backpacks, backpacks are being customized for stylish and technological appeal. "I don't use it for function, only for fashion," said Kathy Nawabi, a junior from Durham, of her messenger bag. Nawabi's backpack is decorated with a colorful array of Chinese characters, symbol and pictures.
