My elementary school student has too much stuff to fit into his school bag...what can I do?

Hello, I'm Sugawara, a designer.

The cherry blossoms are finally starting to fall, and many sons will be attending their school entrance ceremonies in April.

My son graduated from elementary school this year, but there's so much stuff elementary school students have to carry to school.

In the first year, there are still not many textbooks,

In the upper grades, in addition to textbooks, children also need tablets, water bottles, gym clothes, indoor shoes, toothbrushes, cups, school lunch hats, and, during the week when it's their turn to serve lunch, they also need school lunch clothes.

My luggage is full!!

When I see them walking to school with their bags in both hands, I feel sorry for them because they need umbrellas on rainy days...

Today, we will introduce a school bag that will solve these problems for elementary school students!

■Free trial campaign

If you purchase a school bag from our online store or direct store, we will provide free shipping when you return the item.

I'm interested, but it's difficult to go to the store in person.

I want to try it on once.

I want to try to see if my luggage will fit in there.

We have the answer to your concerns! Please try it at home.

Please note that we only accept returns within 7 days of the delivery date.

*Please be careful not to damage or stain the item. If damage or staining is deemed serious, you will be charged for the repairs. Thank you for your understanding.

■Large capacity to store all the items you need for school life

What to take every day

  • Tablet (depending on school)
  • textbook
  • Note
  • Pencil case
  • Free notebook
  • Contact book
  • File (for announcements and homework)
  • Spare mask
  • Alcohol-based disinfectant sprays
  • Handkerchiefs, dustcloths
  • Water bottle

Not every day, but something to take when necessary

  • Raincoat, folding umbrella
  • School lunch set
  • Items used in classes such as flutes, paint sets, calligraphy sets, melodica, and craft tools

Tablets and water bottles are items that have become more common during the COVID-19 pandemic, but many traditional school bags are not designed to hold these items and have no storage space.

It is designed to hold everything you carry every day.

My son also strongly requested that I install this storage unit.

■If you're not going to use it, then what's the point of buying a school bag that costs over 50,000 yen?

It's a problem when there is so much luggage that it doesn't fit into the school bag, but as a parent, I can't help but think, "What a waste" when a school bag that costs tens of thousands of yen is only used for six years.

If it's under 50,000 yen and has a design that you can use even after graduation, isn't it worth buying?

The project to move away from school bags started from zero.

The colors are limited to black, navy, and chocolate, which are easy to match with any outfit and will never get boring, and the design is as simple and elegant as possible, making it a backpack that adults would not find out of place carrying.

The position of the reflector has also been carefully considered so as not to adversely affect the design.

Comparing the weight of school bags

The average weight of a typical school bag is between 1,100 and 1,300g .

It is a weight that is easy for children to carry, and popular brands of school bags are often made with this average weight in mind. However, the weight may vary slightly depending on the materials used.

The YOUTA school bag, made of artificial leather and nylon, weighs 1,150g, but let's compare how heavy YOUTA school bags are.

Artificial leather 1,000-1,200g

Cowhide 1,200-1,400g

Horse leather cordovan 1,300-1,500g

Comparing it to everyday objects like this makes it easier to visualize the weight.

There is an image that a lighter backpack is better, but that doesn't necessarily mean that a light backpack is better.


If something is too lightweight, it may be more prone to breaking, so it's a good idea to check what materials are used and how durable it is.

Other important points to consider when choosing a school bag are how easy it is to carry, how it fits your body, and whether it can hold your belongings properly.

Before purchasing a school bag, it is a good idea to gather the appropriate information and choose a school bag that will last a long time and put less strain on your child.

YOUTA Representative and Designer Sugawara

There are a lot of cool clothes for men, but not many bags. So we decided to make our own. With this frank idea in mind, we launched the men's bag brand "YOUTA" in 2006. Having worked in various apparel-related jobs such as clothes, watches, and shoes, I focused on synthetic leather. It is a lightweight and rain-resistant material, so unlike leather, it does not require maintenance. The reason we chose synthetic leather is that it is "vegan leather," a non-animal material that suits the modern era. We hope that you will enjoy a comfortable and enjoyable business life with our high-quality bags certified by Toyooka Bags and playful customizations.
