CEBU, Philippines - Summer vacation is almost over and everyone - parents and students - is in back-to-school mode.
Aside from school supplies and uniforms, one of the most important items to prepare for school, regardless of what level one is in, is the school bag. And while elementary kids want bags that feature popular cartoon characters, students who are in high school and college want bags that are trendy and unique. This is especially so for girls.
A bag is a girl's best friend. The female population just can't go without a bag - small ones, medium-sized ones or those really huge ones that look like sacks! You do not have to spend too much to have a trendy bag that can carry the items you need for school. The solution to your bag needs is just in your closet! T-shirts!
