Cheap plain black backpack.
 
I need a new backpack for school, and I decided to just get a plain unbranded black one and decorate it myself. Sounds pretty simple really. Only it's not. I tried eBay, and a whole load of online stores, and I can't find one. They're all from a major popular brand, so they're all way out of my price range (£10-15). The thing is though, I don't even want their stupid logos, which are the only difference between them and really cheap bags. I'm way too busy to go shopping for one, so I have to get one online really. So, where can I find a cheap, black backpack? (No leather or pleather, 'cause they're a pain in the ass to sew onto.)

Walmart.com has bunches of inexpensive backpacks, not sure how much the shipping would be for you though.

You couls take a plain bag and dye it black, and add spikes and badges.
Then take a paint brush and bleach the Bauhaus logo into it.
But a stencle would be better.

Yeah, Wal-Mart [or the British equivalent] would probably be the best place to go. :)

That, or thrift shops. Seriously, they have all sorts of junk there. XD

Just look for a Jansport black backpack and slice the logo off. It comes off pretty easily, just put a razor blade between the backpack and the logo along the stitching and push, should cut the stitching off really easily. Jansport is also fucking durable as hell, so it'll last a while.

I think you can use old cloths for making backpack for school.....but before making you should remember following points...

*Size should be large and large books to be put ion it.
*There should be appropriate area for the laptop.
*Padded Straps should be wide and soft...feels comfortable on you.
*Rolling suitcase will be helpful to carry.
*It is should be double stitched.
*It should have High tensile strength.
*It should have more pockets for non book items.

An amazon ad popped up on the side for me with several plan black looking bags.

The rolling suitcase idea may be a nice idea too. But I am not going to commit myself to suggesting that without knowing how old you are, what your book load is like, and the geography of your campus.
