There’s one major downside to graduation that no one talks about, and that’s the fact that “back-to-school” shopping sprees are now a thing of the past. And while your first “back-to-work” shopping spree might be fun for a little while, the buck stops at the cash register when dad turns to you with a grin and says it’s time you started picking up the tab now that you have a big boy job. Yes — “adulting” comes with its own aesthetic, and the ripped jeans you thought were fire your senior year might evoke a very different meaning of the word “fire” to the senior executives at your new company. Fortunately, the Gear Patrol Store has everything a new graduate could need before his or her first day on the job, and with some products up to 20 percent off, you might not have to spend your first paycheck before you’ve earned it.
Topo Designs x Gear Patrol Tote Backpack
If you’re one of those people who thinks that wearing a backpack to the office screams “immature,” then a tote bag says “I’m mature” in a confident, well-modulated voice. This backpack-tote hybrid, however, speaks nine different languages and can say anything you want it to. It can be worn as a backpack, across the shoulder, or carried as a tote, making it perfect for commuting as well as a quick trip to the grocery store.
