With us, your school bag purchase becomes a special experience

Buying a school bag is not just a simple purchase – it is the start of a new chapter in your life. We want to make this event an experience that you will remember for a long time to come. That’s why we welcome you personally to our store in the Europa-Center Berlin to buy your school bag and take our time. We will explain to you in detail what is important in a child-friendly way and will only be satisfied when you are proud and happy with your choice. The experience is rounded off with a commemorative certificate with a photo of you and your first school bag. In addition to the large selection of school bags, you will of course also find various accessories for the start of your future school day.

We advise you individually and professionally

The perfect school bag is no longer just about looks. Today, more than ever, attention is being paid to the ergonomics of backpacks so that your child can have a carefree time at school. This makes it all the more important not to simply choose a school bag based on its appearance on the Internet, but to seek expert advice from our store in Berlin & Brandenburg. A consultation with us takes about an hour. We recommend making an appointment in advance to avoid waiting times, especially between March and July.
Weight, volume or ergonomics – what is most important?

Your idea of the perfect school bag

Before we look at the first models together, we first clarify what is particularly important to you. Do you want a certain brand, should the backpack be particularly light, is a lot of volume important, should ergonomics be the priority or maybe even everything together – we’ll find out together. The look is certainly the most important thing for the new schoolchild, but before we pick out the coolest model, we first test which backpack fits your back best. After all, you will be carrying the school bag around Berlin for at least 3, probably even 4 years – every day.
We find the perfect fit

Choosing the right model

Once we have clarified your priorities when choosing a school bag, it’s time for the big fitting. All of our school bags have ergonomic seals and certificates, but there are still differences in the actual design – just like the requirements and needs of each child. That’s why we try on several models together to find out which one fits well and which one doesn’t. We do this until the most important sentence of the day is uttered: “The backpack is really comfortable, I want to go to school with it every day!”
Find the perfect satchel design

Dinosaur, princess or outer space - the choice is yours!

All brands now offer interchangeable motifs – i.e. the option to change the motif. You can start 1st grade with a unicorn satchel and, with very little effort, turn it into a dolphin or mermaid satchel in the 2nd grade a dolphin or mermaid satchel and in the 3rd and 4th grade something completely different. Of course, we will also show you this in detail.”
The crowning glory of your purchase

Your personal satchel certificate

The shopping experience ends with your very own personal school bag certificate. We’ll write your name on a board together, then take a photo of you with your new school bag in front of it and create a certificate. This is not only a great memento of this special day for you, but you can also share it with grandma, grandpa, uncle, aunt and all your friends and show them what a great school bag you have chosen. Now you are perfectly equipped for your first day at school and can look forward to lots of exciting experiences!

Your most important questions about buying a school bag

We answer the most frequently asked questions here

When should we make an appointment to buy a school bag?

It’s best to plan the purchase of a school bag in spring so that you have enough time before school starts and can decide on a model at your leisure. Most children can hardly wait to start school and are very excited in the weeks leading up to it. Buying a school bag is an important milestone and good preparation for the new stage of life. Experience shows that the most popular colors and designs, as well as some limited edition models, are no longer available after Easter. The closer it gets to the start of school, the smaller the selection – which can also be an advantage.

What is the best way to make an appointment with you?

You can simply call us on: 030 / 23 00 20 23 or book a free appointment online. We will then contact you promptly to arrange an appointment for your individual consultation. This specialist consultation lasts about an hour so that we have plenty of time to find the right model for your child.

How do I find the right model for my child?

The best way to find the right model is to try it on. Make an appointment and come to us at the Europa-Center Berlin so that we can try on different models together and adjust them individually to the child’s back to find the best fit for your child. So that not only the look is perfect, but above all the ergonomic fit.

Why shouldn't you buy your first school bag online?

Nothing can replace individual advice and trying on. Almost all brands have now established and certified an ergonomic fit – but you can only feel whether the respective implementation is really good for your back when you try it on and move around with it. The differences between models (even from the same brand) are astonishingly large. After all, your back will grow and develop over the next few years and you will be carrying the backpack to school and back home almost every day – so it should fit really well and not just have a certain motif or a great brand.

Can you also order school bags online?

As individual advice and fitting are very important to us, we do not currently have an online store. However, you are welcome to reserve a specific model for us to try on in advance and we will also order directly for you if we don’t have something in stock (which is rare). If you have a long way to travel, we will be happy to send the satchel to your home free of charge as soon as it has been delivered.

What brands do you have to choose from in your store?

We offer a total of 12 different brands, including all the popular school bag brands such as Ergobag, Step by Step, Scout, DerDieDas, School Mood, Beckmann, Lässig and McNeill, as well as a few more. Each brand offers different models and designs, so we are sure to have the right model in the right look for your child. What’s more, unlike when buying online, you can compare the backpacks of different brands directly with us: You can see and feel the shape, feel, material, volume and color on site. Bring all your equipment with you and test for yourself whether everything fits in well!

Do you also offer accessories for the school bags in your store?

We offer you the complete package for a relaxed start to school. Most school bags come with a matching sports bag and pencil case in the right design. Some manufacturers also offer other items such as a neck pouch or decorative items (“Kletties, Magic Mags, Funny Snaps and others) for the school bags. You can buy all these items directly from our store in Berlin to go with your satchel.
