“We are proud to introduce our largest back-to-school collection across Pottery Barn Kids and Pottery Barn Teen, including new styles crafted with eco-minded materials, enhanced functionality and an assortment of accessible designs for mobility device users,” said Jennifer Kellor, President, Pottery Barn Kids and Pottery Barn Teen. “With this collection, even more people can find what they need in the trend-forward designs they love with the quality our brands are known for to get ready for the school year.”

In designing the accessible collections, the Pottery Barn Kids and Pottery Barn Teen design teams gathered input from children and teens who use mobility devices, their parents, and caregivers to give best-selling backpack and desk designs new features for increased accessibility.

For Pottery Barn Kids, the Mackenzie Adaptive Backpack is crafted with water-resistant polyester made from recycled plastic bottles, equipped with a flat-opening main compartment with easy-to-grab zipper pulls, a padded slot for a laptop or tablet, pockets for supplies, and an insulated outer pocket. Access ports easily accommodate tubes or cables. Outside, adjustable padded straps make it easy to attach and detach from a wheelchair or mobility device, and the straps tuck into their own compartment. Customers can personalize the backpack with a name or initials for an extra-special touch. The matching Mackenzie Adaptive Lunchbox collection perfectly pairs with the backpack, rounding out the complete set. For study spaces, the best-selling Pottery Barn Kids Morgan Accessible Desk has wheelchair-compatible dimensions with pull-out drawers.
