“The Kane set the foundation for what a great kids backpack should be - thoughtful, durable, and designed around real life. With the Charlie, we wanted to evolve that idea into something a little more adventurous and playful, while keeping the same functionality parents love. The faux speedclip gives it that classic rucksack look, but the zipper opening underneath makes it easy for kids to actually use.”- Jacq Tatelman, STATE Co-Founder / CEO / Creative Director
What Fits
Features & Materials
Designed with the look of a classic rucksack with speed clips, but actually opens with a zipper underneath - making it easy for kids to open and close on their own.
Main compartment fits standard folders, 1–2" binders, textbooks, up to 15" or a 13" iPad, and a Rodgers Lunch Box with organizational zip pockets, slip pockets, and pen holders.
Zippered front pockets and side water bottle pockets that fit bottles up to 3.2" in diameter keep essentials and drinks within reach.
Soft, padded, easily adjustable straps, plus a luggage sleeve so it easily slides onto suitcase handles for easy travel.
