Buying special brands — Guide& Tips
In the category 'special brands' for school children, you will find 102 items that stand out for their thoughtful design, high-quality materials, and child-friendly ergonomics. Unlike purely functional products, these brands emphasize a harmonious blend of function and aesthetics—whether for backpacks, bags, or school accessories. What should you look for when buying? The key is a good fit for your child's age and height. A backpack should not only look good but also offer adjustable straps, breathable back padding, and enough compartments for notebooks, lunch boxes, and water bottles. For bags and toiletry kits, weight and seam stability are important, as they are used daily and often opened and closed by small hands.
The two main subcategories help you explore the right range: Under Fresk Schulkinder you will find colorful, robust collections specifically tailored to the needs of elementary school children—with lightweight materials and child-friendly closures. The subcategory Growing Table includes products that grow with the child: adjustable straps, expandable compartments, and modular systems that can be used over several school years. Both lines focus on durable quality that can withstand the rough and tumble of school life. When comparing, pay attention to the weight of the items—a backpack that is too heavy unnecessarily strains the spine. Ideally, the empty model should weigh no more than 800 to 1000 grams. For toiletry kits and travel bags, a water-repellent outer material is advantageous, as they are often stored in lockers or placed on wet floors.
A common mistake when buying is underestimating the compartment layout. Check whether there are enough separate compartments for pens, phone, and keys – this helps your child stay organized and saves time searching in the morning. The reflective strips on backpacks and bags are also an important safety feature, especially during the darker months. If you are equipping several children, it is worth looking at the color options: many models are available in different colors so that each child can have their own look without compromising quality. With the right criteria, you will find a product that not only looks good but also noticeably makes school life easier.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should a school backpack for a child in 1st grade be?
For school beginners, models with a volume of about 18 to 22 liters are recommended. The backpack should not be wider than the child's shoulders and have a maximum height of 38 cm. Make sure the back area is well padded and the straps are easy to adjust. A chest strap additionally relieves the spine. In the subcategory Fresk Schulkinder you will find models specially developed for this age group with child-friendly dimensions and low weight.
Are toiletry bags for children really necessary or is a simple bag sufficient?
A special toiletry bag makes it easier for your child to organize on class trips or in physical education. Unlike a simple bag, it has separate compartments for toothbrush, shampoo, and small items – so everything stays clean and within reach. Models like the shown Fresk toiletry bag are also lined with water-repellent material so that leaking bottles do not cause damage. The integrated hook allows hanging on the door or sink. This saves space in tight areas and prevents the bag from standing on wet floors.
How do I properly care for backpacks and bags from the "special brands" category?
Most models are made of polyester or nylon with a dirt-repellent coating. Stains can usually be wiped off with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid aggressive cleaners or machine washing, as this can damage the coating and seams. For heavier soiling, a special impregnating spray that renews the water-repellent layer can help. After cleaning, let the bags air dry thoroughly – not on the radiator, otherwise the material can become brittle. This way, the products remain in good condition over several school years.
Can I combine a backpack and a travel bag from different series?
Yes, that is easily possible. As long as the colors harmonize, a mix of different series is not a problem. However, make sure that the travel bag does not become too heavy when carrying it in addition to the backpack. One advantage of the "Fresk" series is that all parts are coordinated – this makes packing easier because compartments and zippers work similarly. But if your child already owns a backpack from another brand, the travel bag from the "special brands" category can still be a useful addition. What matters is that both items withstand daily wear and tear and that your child likes them.
More categories
School day equipment includes more than just backpacks and bags. In the overarching category Schoolchild you will find the full range of products that make learning and organization easier. Particularly closely related to the "special brands" are two sibling categories:Children's desk chairs and pencil cases. An ergonomic desk chair ensures healthy sitting posture during homework – ideally height-adjustable and equipped with lumbar support. Pencil cases, in turn, should offer enough compartments for pens, erasers, and rulers so your child doesn't have to search for long. Both categories perfectly complement the "special brands" when you want to set up your child's entire workspace. Also, water bottles and drawstring bags are useful companions – they can be easily combined with the backpack and promote independence. Consider which products your child really needs daily and choose selectively from the adjacent categories to create a well-rounded basic set.
