A Compact Backpack with Minimalist & Vintage Charm

Introducing our small leather backpack—the perfect companion for lovers of vintage and elegant accessories in their everyday life. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this leather backpack adds a retro style and unique elegance to your look while remaining practical and versatile.

With an adjustable and removable shoulder strap, you can easily switch between carrying it as a women's leather backpack or as a shoulder bag, depending on your preferences and needs. This flexibility makes it easy and comfortable to carry all your essentials during different outings and activities.

Travel Light & Confidently with a Sturdy & Water-Resistant Bag

My leather business backpack serves both as a travel essential and as a fashion accessory. That’s why it’s crucial for it to be solid and reliable, allowing you to store your travel necessities securely.

This leather bag is made from crazy horse leather, a type of full-grain leather treated with wax, making it both sturdy and water-resistant. This noble material ages beautifully and develops a rich patina over time.

Carry Everything You Need with a Spacious & Functional Leather Backpack

Despite its compact size, this bag offers plenty of storage space when well organized. The elegant, minimalist design further enhances its spaciousness.

The exterior features two zippered pockets, including one on the back to protect your most valuable items. The main compartment is secured by a stylish leather flap that closes safely with two straps with magnetic clips.

Inside, you'll find a large main storage space of about 10 liters, together with two compartment pockets designed for maximum organization and convenience.

Embrace Versatility and Style to the Fullest

This backpack is an excellent companion thanks to its versatility. It pairs seamlessly with a variety of outfits and is suitable for many occasions. Whether you're out for a walk, heading to school, working, or traveling, it will elevate your best looks.

Moreover, thanks to its removable and adjustable leather straps, you can choose to wear it as a leather work backpack for a professional appearance or as a shoulder bag for a more relaxed style.

Note: Full grain leather is a natural material and may have small traces, veins or marks inherent to the material. Scratches can be easily removed by gently rubbing them with a cloth soaked in vegetable oil. The color of the leather may vary slightly depending on the batch.

Oiled leather products can naturally be prone to color transfer onto light fabrics. To avoid this, make sure to dry your leather if it gets wet and try to avoid contact with light-colored textiles. If you still notice any stains, don’t worry, they will come out in the wash.
