College students need a variety of bags and they need them to look good as well as stand up to being tossed around and abused. Army style canvas duffle bags fit the bill and are ideal for any student heading off to college.

Here is a list of ways canvas duffle bags come in handy for college students:

1. Laundry - Yes, dorms have laundry facilities. No, your son or daughter will not use them. Dorm laundry rooms are not popular hang outs and your student will likely prefer stuffing a semester's worth of dirty laundry into a bag and coming home. Duffles will last all four years of college and beyond. They are made to military standards, which means tough fabric and reinforced stitching. Not to mention they have a ton of room for storage.

2. Luggage - Of course a college student tends to lead a nomadic life and this makes the duffle a great choice. The bags come in a variety of sizes including jumbo bags that have two shoulder straps. These bags can be loaded up and then when they are emptied they conveniently collapse down to next to nothing, perfect for the cramped dorm room or apartment.

3. Backpacks and Messenger bags - The traditional name, Duffle Bag, came from the name for the sturdy fabric used for these bags and in the early days these bags were all of the long cylindrical style. Today, the word duffle can apply to many different styles of bags and can come in smaller sizes that are cool and convenient for walking to class. nayashopi.in stylish college bags
