Pop licenses culture, school formats and small outing bags: the brand Karactermania dresses up the backpack with licensed designs. Our category brings together its children’s and adults' models, from the school bag to the small outgoing bag.
The backpacks Karactermania are licensed printed bags, available in two categories: school sizes that can hold notebooks and binders, and smaller bags designed for outings, limited to the essentials. The design may vary, but the construction remains that of a typical backpack, with adjustable straps and a zipped main compartment.
The school size is determined by the height of the main compartment, with a large notebook needing to fit flat without bending. The small size is for outings and can only fit a phone, a wallet, and a slim bottle. The dimensions stated on the product page are clearer than the photo, where all the bags look similar.
The first point of reference is the length of the child's back, measured standing, then compared to the stated height of the backpack. Next is the width of the straps; a narrow strap will dig into the shoulders as soon as the backpack is loaded, along with its empty weight, which adds to that of the textbooks.
The licensing, first, is noted on the product page and featured on the front, sometimes on the straps and the lining. Then come the decorative finishes, badges, and prints, which require sponge cleaning rather than machine washing. A Karactermania backpack is therefore chosen based on the design but is assessed using the same criteria as a classic school backpack.
