Refreshing their school supplies

Before you can say "school supplies!", your little one is already running low on pencils and glue sticks. And don't get us started about the condition of that backpack!

With school life creating - what can seem like - a never-ending cycle of wear-and-tear, it's better to opt for quality products when restocking their school bag; we know from experience that Trixie has some great options if you're looking for resilient back–to–school essentials with a fun and vibrant edge. 

Let's take a look...
