For those debating the best picks of school-time essentials, Ibn Battuta Mall presents its "Best of Back-to-School" accessories. For students eight or eighteen years, the stuff is certified Cool for School.

Not to forget, those who left school behind a while ago but would still like to incorporate a touch of school-day impishness to the wardrobe or work-table, these individual pieces will drastically raise the cool-quotient of your office paraphernalia.

Wake Me Up:

Everyone has a beverage of choice - chocolate milk, coffee, green tea, or smoothie - that is assured to jolt them awake in the ungainly hours of the morning. Instead of monochrome coffee mugs, why not dress up the early morning ritual with a great looking portable mug, perfect to take along on the commute from home to school or work. Check out Ibn Battuta Mall's collection of seriously cute Coffee Mugs that capture to a T the early morning grumpiness.

Back Pack or Sling Style:

When your school or work load weighs a ton, it is always prudent to have a heavy duty back-pack handy. Ibn Battuta Mall's new range of bags adapt to new-age demands like laptop space. It is also a superb storage for all those absolutely essential extras like novels, magazines and gym clothes, that you might or might not need at work.

And if you don't fancy a back-pack, there are sling-bags aplenty. Girly or Quirky, take a pick of a range of designs and graphics reminiscent of everything from beach-days to Betty Cooper. Available in a variety of colours, the bags are designed like school bags but come with space for laptops and mobile phones - the perfect carry-all.

Lace it Up:

Leave the stilettos for the big-stuff and give sneakers a chance. Relaxed and eternally-hip, sneakers can work the energetic and relaxed look with élan. For the work-force, it is an ideal casual-Thursday special - a cool comfortable addition to the attire, without being in the way.

Cool Case:

Be it to carry loose change, a favorite pen, mascara or as a repository of things that you cannot seem to get rid off, this year's pencil cases tick all the boxes in the uber-cool stakes. Available in comic book graphics and shades as well as sober hues and fabrics, pencil cases are Ibn Battuta Mall's favourites this year.

Out to lunch:

Nothing like breaking bread for quality bonding - which probably explains why lunch becomes the new dinner once school starts. Drop the zip-lock bags for new range of Back-to-School lunch box and canteen sets labeled with tiny cartoons. The combo might not sit well in an office but with some subtle mismatching and improvising, the brightly coloured boxes can double up as clip and post-it holders.

If you are a massive comic buff, check out the new range of lunch bags available around Ibn Battuta Mall. With bright colours and comics ruling the day, the lunch bags sport prints immortalizing world-saving Marvel heroes to the quirky grannies of Freej. It is cool and keeps your nosh warm.
