"Gift for Daughter"
My youngest daughter was going back to grad school and loves things from indigenous artists. I thought this expressed her uniqueness. The pattern and colors on the backpack are unique. It was also very sturdy to be able to hold books. She uses it and makes it an integral part of her everyday use of it.
