LL Bean, makes GREAT backpacks... they are warrantied for life, if for any reason you need to return/replace it, they replace it for free.
My daughter has one, has had the same one since 1st Grade and she is now going into 3rd grade, and it still looks brand new. NO tears and it does not look 'used.'
Her Aunty, bought it for her. She LOVES it... she has the rolling backpack. Kids that age/size, it is best to have a rolling backpack to they do not have to carry a heavy load on their shoulders.
It is well worth, the price.
My daughter's is monogrammed as well.
Don't worry, she will be fine. Clothe her in clothes that is her taste... and that she will be comfortable in. Or in clothes that you know she likes. By now, you probably know what clothes styles she likes or not.
That is what I do.
At this age, it can take EONS for them to 'choose' clothes...
all the best,
Susan
