For anyone who was wishing for an extra defensive tactic in the struggle to protect their bagged lunch, this [Valentino](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rockstud-collection) owl backpack is the answer.

The wool felt applique owl backpack is adorned by a large, realistic representation of a scowling bird of prey. The color scheme of the owl backpack -- neutral grays, white, black and brown -- is tasteful and understated, and its design is simple and elegant. The intense graphic, however, is sure to turn some heads. It may just be enough to intimidate potential textbook and pencil thieves.

The overwhelming invasion of street and skater style into mainstream fashion has made backpacks, ball caps and sneakers into luxury items. Although this Valentino owl backpack might seem like it could fit right into a locker or be handily slung onto a classroom floor, it actually retails at $3105.
