Optari Backpack {Review & Giveaway}

September 26, 2011 By Melanie Roberts 22 Comments

In my search of finding cool and new products for you guys, I came across a company called “Optari”. I fell in love with their Totes and the ability to customize the bags with Fobbz.  I loved the colors and designs. I just had to check the company out to give you some kind of idea what they are all about.

“Optari” comes from the Latin word “optare” (pronounced “optari”), which means “to desire.” Their goal is to develop products that are fun, colorful, useful, and, most of all, that people desire. Their award-winning product line is in the process of growing rapidly, so stay tuned for new products due to be released soon.

Optari recently released their back To School Collection with a cool Backpack that comes in 6 different colors; the bag is a regular size backpack and has a front compartment that also has a little inside pouch as well as holders for pens and pencils; the front pouch is made of some kind of foam/rubber that is durable, washable and has holes to customize your bag with the cool Fobbz collection. The inside of the bag has two compartments and will hold quite a bit of school supplies. If you expand the book bag with all the supplies it will be able to expand about 5 inches and can hold a ton of books. The straps are also pretty cool, they are hard to explain, check out the pic’s below. They are sawn into one piece making them easier to sit on your little ones shoulder as well more durable in carrying the heavy load.

There is also a mesh holder on the outside of the bag for water bottles, small umbrellas or anything else your little one needs to tote around. We choose the purple color for my Toddler and it’s a nice shade of purple, not too bright and not too dark, just perfect. The fun comes in when you let your little one decide on what Fobbz to choose; there are so many and the newest collection for Halloween is super cool. We decided on the Initial Fobbz, which is about 3.5 inches round, a great size to add your initial to the bag; no one else will have the same bag, I guarantee it. My toddler also decided on the Unicorn Fobbz.

We loved the quality of the backpack as well as the Fobbz and are super excited to give this new company two Thumbs up in quality, design and functionality!

    Makes me think of the decorations you can put on the croc sandals, which my 3 year old enjoys. So she’d love to do the same thing on her back pack!

    How do you feel about this product being a knock off of the lubber tote. The patented Lubber tote. There is a lawsuit against Optari for patent I fringment and maybe some criminal issues.
