Big thanks to HSClumeck, for asking about "randseru." These are the backpacks the elementary school kids wear. She was wondering if they would be feasible as a backpack. Usually they're red or black, but other colors and patterns are around.

At first I thought they would be. They certainly seemed big enough. But after trying one on, it seemed a lot smaller. In fact, I could only get it around one shoulder. For me that isn't a big deal, I usually don't wear a backpack around both arms. But its up to you.

Is it cool in Japan? Certainly not. But in California, maybe, in a retro, you haven't seen a bag like this before kind of a way.
