I can’t get over the quality of this backpack! The leather feels rich and authentic, and the design is both practical and stylish. I’ve had mine for about three months now, and the wear only adds character to it. If you’re looking for something handcrafted with attention to detail, this is it.

Bought my John Lawson backpack for a recent trip and was blown away. The leather is thick but soft to the touch, and the interior has just the right amount of space. It holds up well to everyday use and feels like it’s made to last a lifetime. I can see myself using this bag for years.

David Mitchell

This is hands down the best backpack I’ve ever owned. It’s clear that John Lawson puts a lot of care into their products. The leather is top notch, and it’s roomy enough for my laptop, notebooks, and more. It’s become my go-to bag whether I’m commuting to the office or going on a weekend hike."

Mark Campbell

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I ordered a handmade leather backpack, but Henry Lancaster exceeded my expectations. The leather has such a rugged, vintage feel that I love. It’s functional, comfortable to wear, and it just looks amazing. I’ve gotten so many compliments.

Brian Taylor

What I love most about my John Lawson backpack is how versatile it is. Whether I’m heading to a business meeting or packing for a weekend getaway, this bag works for every occasion. The leather feels luxurious, and the craftsmanship speaks for itself. It’s rare to find such a high-quality handmade product these days.

I’ve gone through a lot of backpacks, but this one is a game-changer. The leather is soft but incredibly durable, and I can tell it’s going to age beautifully. John Lawson really knows what they’re doing when it comes to creating quality bags. It’s worth every penny, and I’m already eyeing another one.

Andrew Wilson

It’s the kind of bag that will age beautifully. I use it for both work and weekend trips, and it never feels out of place.
