I occasionally think about the day when Pooky is old enough for me to get her to carry her own stuff, and she’d of course love to do that if it was carried in one of these cute handknitted backpacks. These 100% cotton backpacks from Blabla are a refreshing change to the plastic variety that you usually find all over the place. They’re lined inside and are accessible through a zipper on the back.
