Back-to-school shopping just got a little brighter—literally. Pottery Barn Kids has a major deal on its beloved Mackenzie Glitter Sunburst Glow-in-the-Dark Backpacks, and parents are scooping them up fast. Originally priced between $28.50 and $69.50, these ultra-durable, water-resistant kids’ backpacks are on sale for as low as $17 for a limited time. These are so cute, I wish they came in adult sizes!
Designed with busy school days and wild imaginations in mind, the Mackenzie kids’ backpacks are as practical as they are playful. Each one is crafted from rugged, water-resistant recycled polyester with a smooth recycled polyester lining. That means they’re built to handle everything from surprise spills to rainy bus stops without sacrificing style.

But it’s the glow-in-the-dark element that’s stealing the show. The Glitter Sunburst design features a special material that charges under bright light and glows for up to 4 hours, making it a magical (and helpful) feature for after-school activities or sleepovers. Just keep in mind that the glow effect may slightly fade over time.

These adorable kids’ backpacks also shine in the functionality department. Each one is packed with smart features: contoured, padded shoulder straps, a cushioned back panel for comfort and side pockets perfectly sized to fit Pottery Barn Kids water bottles. Durable zippers with a sleek nickel finish add even more polish.
Eco-conscious shoppers will also love that these bags are made from recycled plastic bottles—up to 70 per bag, depending on the size. That’s a win-win for both kids and the planet.
Want to make it extra special? Pottery Barn Kids offers personalization, so you can add your child’s name or initials to their backpack. Just note that the placement of the embroidery may vary slightly from bag to bag, and may overlap with the print.
