The Shoulder Bag
BDG Karlie Lock Shoulder Bag
The Shoulder Bag wearer takes their uni education seriously. Much like the structured silhouette and lock charm on the Karlie bag from BDG, they’re locked in on getting to lectures on time and actually taking notes. In their downtime, you’ll catch them in the library or at the latest guest lecture, because they mean business.
What’s in the shoulder bag?
The Positive Student Planner – filled with weekly planning pages, timetable organisers, assignment trackers and mindful prompts.
Owala FreeSip® 0.7L / 24oz Water Bottle – because hydration keeps the brain feeling sharp, obvs.
TRIP Cherry Ashwagandha Gummies – to keep them grounded. Especially necessary when an assignment deadline is looming.
The Going Out Bag

They know all the best DJ nights to go to, because they actually know the DJs. The Going Out Bag wearer is a club hopper, who knows the bouncers by name and precisely the right arrival time to avoid the queues, without looking too keen.
UO What’s In Our Bag: Autumn 2026 Edition
Our bag collection says a lot about who we are. We all have that one friend who physically cannot say no to a complimentary tote – whether it’s from a bookshop, their dentist or somewhere they definitely didn’t buy anything from, like the local hardware shop. Then there’s the pristine friend who wouldn’t be caught dead without their coffin nails wrapped around the strap of a monogram shoulder bag, and the unbothered one in the group who wears the same slouchy tote bag on repeat because it just works. In this autumn edition of What’s In Our Bag, we’re spotlighting the go-to bag styles for autumn 2026, each bringing its own energy. Inside, you’ll find a curated selection of autumn essentials that match the mood.

The Sling Bag
UO Jackson Sling Bag
The Sling Bag wearer is the elusive, popular one on campus. He’s somehow everywhere, but never looks like he’s trying too hard. He’s at lectures a decent amount of the time, but still somehow makes time for volunteering and heading up FILM-SOC. You’ll usually spot him in the student lounge, headphones on and book in hand. How does he get his coursework done? We’ll never know.
