September is synonymous with the start of school and for with many, this September will be the first foray into university life too. Things might be a little different this year, but whether it’s you or your little loved one returning - either in person, or virtually - we have curated a guide of the essentials for that back to school feeling. View the best buys available in Central London below.
Apple Mac
Students – with your UNiDAYS account, you can receive a 20% special offer on Apple’s back to school range. Heading to university? Buy an Apple Mac or iPad from the Regent Street flagship store and receive AirPods too.
Tommy Hilfiger Backpack
The sustainable style range at Tommy Hilfiger has a Campus Backpack that we are lusting over. Priced at £60, the Twilight Navy colour is understated yet super cool.
Aspinal London ID & Travelcard Case
Whether it’s a pass for university halls or the school library, Aspinal’s Smooth Black & Blue Cobalt Suede Travelcard Case (£70) is a smart holder that will keep all of your essentials in one place. It’s also a handy option for an Oyster card.
Cos Water Bottle
The Kinto Day Off Tumbler (£35) is a chic way to stay hydrated. Vacuum insulated, it retains the temperature and flavour of drinks – hot or cold - for a long time, and comes in a minimalist grey or white, or a bright orange colourway.

Heading back to the office, or perhaps starting a grad scheme and want to look smart for your first day? The Aldwych Oxford shoe is handmade in England from premium calf leather. Visit the Jermyn Street store to find your perfect fit.
