One bag for uni, work and life
The best university bag is not just for campus. A Heiych convertible backpack goes from lectures to part time work, from study sessions to weekends, and into travel. One bag for students building full lives beyond the classroom.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT UNIVERSITY BAG
The best university bag carries weight comfortably without feeling bulky. If you are carrying a laptop, textbooks, notebooks and daily essentials, a structured backpack with a laptop compartment spreads the weight evenly. A convertible backpack gives you options: carry it as a tote when you want something more polished, then switch to backpack mode for the long walks between classes.
WHAT MAKES A GREAT UNI BACKPACK?
A dedicated laptop compartment protects your tech, while the main compartment fits textbooks, notebooks and everyday essentials. A convertible tote backpack lets you switch carry styles depending on your day, your outfit or how much you are carrying. Internal pockets mean chargers, keys and smaller items do not get lost at the bottom of your bag, and it looks like a polished everyday bag rather than a bulky student backpack.
How to choose a uni bag
Start with your laptop, then think about how you get to campus and what else your day holds: tutorials, the library, a work shift or the gym. All three bags convert the same way: pull the side straps down and it is a backpack, pull them up at the top and it is a tote again.
For a 13 inch laptop and lighter days
The Mini H-Commuter weighs 700 grams and fits a 13 inch laptop, a notebook, your phone and the essentials. It suits days with a few classes and a lot of walking.
For a 15 inch laptop, textbooks and lunch
The H-Convert fits a 15 inch laptop, a textbook, a drink bottle and lunch, and weighs 900 grams. Its 11 compartments give your charger, keys, cards and pens a place each.
For long days, part time work and the gym
The H-Carry All is the largest, at 30 litres, with room for a 17 inch laptop plus textbooks, gym gear or a change of clothes for work. It is machine washable.
After uni
The same bag goes with you into your first job and your first trips. See our work bags and travel bags, or compare all three sizes side by side.
