Buying your first Loungefly sounds like it would be easy, but it actually takes more thought than you may think.
You’ve gotta think about what design you like, as well as other questions like, do you want side pockets? Do you want a flat front pocket or a front pocket that sticks out? There are SO many designs out there, it’s hard to find one that is perfect and really feels like you. For me, I’ve got ONE Loungefly bag that I love deeply since it really feels like it combines my love of Disney and books, so when my friend asked me for recommendations for her first Loungefly, I knew this was a big deal and that I could only send her the BEST suggestions!
Perfect for Pixar Lovers!
My friend really loves Pixar, and if that’s you as well, or you know someone who does, the Pixar Shorts Loungefly Mini Backpack is a fantastic choice. The front pocket AND zipper charm is the iconic Pixar ball; it has two side pockets, and the top of the bag features characters from some of our favorite Pixar shorts. You’ll find Geri, Luxo, and Luxo Jr., Bao, Tin Toy, and more!
Who Doesn’t Love Peter Pan?
My friend and I also went to see a professional theatre production of Peter Pan, so I knew recommending the Peter Pan Second Star Loungefly Mini Backpack would bring up great memories! This one has the London skyline with “Second star to the right and straight on till morning” on the front pocket, and Peter, Wendy, Michael, John, and Tinker Bell flying over the city on top.
Minnie Mouse For The Win!
You can’t go wrong with Minnie Mouse, right? That’s how my friend and I both feel, so I also recommended the Minnie Mouse Bow Faux Leather Loungefly Mini Backpack! I love that this one is almost all black, so it goes with everything, but those gems on the front pocket elevate the look a bit. And that bow on top? The perfect addition to tie it all together.
Cinderella Castle Loungefly? Yes, Please!
If you’ve got someone in your life who loves Cinderella Castle as much as my friend and I do, then the Cinderella Castle Loungefly Mini Backpack is perfect for them. The front pocket here is “hidden” in a way by Cinderella’s carriage, while the top of the bag is taken up by the castle itself. On the back of the backpack, you’ll find Cinderella’s transformation scene depicted, along with the iconic phrase, “A dream is a wish your heart makes.”
For The Marvel Fans
Two things my friend also loves? Marvel and shiny things, so the Marvel Shine Captain America Loungefly Mini Backpack is totally right up her alley. This is perfect for a Captain America cosplay, or just for anyone who loves the hero, since it looks just like his suit!
Can’t Go Wrong With Mickey!
If Mickey is your tried and true, then the Mickey and Friends Classic Loungefly Mini Backpack is a fantastic choice — both my friend and I approve! I love that Mickey himself takes up the whole front pocket, that there are two side pockets for more storage, and that the bag itself is black, so it goes with more outfits.
Need A Different Style? No Worries!
Sometimes you want a bag that doesn’t look like every other backpack out there, and that’s where we’re big fans of the Disney Princess Carousel Loungefly Mini Backpack! This will still fit all you need, like a backpack, but it’s a different style than normal. There’s only one main pocket, but the zippers on the side can help expand it, if needed.
