Leather backpacks: Handmade with character

The quality of leather shows in its surface, feel and workmanship. Arthur, Ryan, Paula and Tara are made from buffalo leather. Its distinctive texture is particularly well suited to a vintage leather backpack. For an elegant look, our range also includes cowhide models such as Gino and Armando. Milan adds a distinctive touch with its handwoven leather structure.

Full-grain leather retains its natural grain layer. How soft or firm a backpack feels also depends on the leather's thickness, its construction and the way it is worked. Tanning and finishing influence its properties too. Choose according to the specific product and the feel you prefer.

Plan your storage around the things you carry regularly. For your wallet, phone, keys and small everyday essentials, Tara is a compact choice with 11 litres. Paula, our city backpack, offers 12 litres and expands to around 16 litres via its rolltop. With 20 to around 25 litres, Ryan also accommodates extra documents, food and an additional layer of clothing.

For more extensive tech equipment and short trips, Arthur offers 28 to around 36 litres. Dimensions matter as well as capacity: an A4 ring binder needs more space than loose documents. For bulky items, also check the opening and usable internal layout.

Backpacks for women and men should first and foremost suit your build and daily routine. If you are looking for a small leather backpack for women, Paula and Tara offer two different shapes, both 36 cm high. Paula's rolltop gives it a casual, modern look, while Tara stays classic and compact. Both can equally be carried by men. Leather backpacks for women need not be limited to one particular style: choose the shape that suits you.

A larger leather backpack for men often also suits women who need more space. Back length, strap adjustment and the packed weight are what matter. Adjust both shoulder straps so that the backpack sits close to your back. Compared with a shoulder bag carried on one side, a backpack lets you distribute the weight across both shoulders.

A rolltop backpack adapts to changing space requirements. Arthur, Ryan and Paula provide extra storage when you pick up groceries or need to carry a jacket. Ryan combines its rolled top with a zip on the main compartment. Arthur adds a large rear opening to its top access, so you can pack it neatly like a suitcase.

Tara is a suitable alternative if you prefer a classic silhouette. Consider the arrangement of the pockets too: an accessible outer pocket is handy for keys, while an organiser helps with your charger, cables and pens. This combination of style and functionality gives the different backpack models their versatility.

A laptop backpack accompanies you to work, university and on your travels. For the commute, a clear internal layout matters. Ryan combines a laptop compartment with zipped pockets for smaller items. Arthur also offers a tech organiser and a suitcase-style opening for clothing and travel essentials. Paula is a smaller alternative if your device fits the compartment and you need less storage.

For a deliberately elegant office look, take a look at our business backpacks. If device fit is your priority, our laptop backpacks help you choose. Alongside your notebook, consider the space you need for books, folders and accessories. A companion for work and leisure should accommodate both.

Colours and sizes change a backpack's appearance. Arthur in Coffee Brown has a dark, distinctive character, while Ryan in Havana Brown emphasises the vintage look. Paula in Cognac Brown brings a warm colour to your day. Tara in Black combines discreetly with many outfits and takes you stylishly from the working day into the evening.

A leather backpack can develop signs of use. Shading and patina make its surface more personal. Whether you prefer a casual, elegant or fashion-conscious look, what matters is that you continue to enjoy the shape and colour over time. An accessory can become a familiar everyday companion that combines quality and style.
