CRAFTED TO LAST!

Backed by Carl’s Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee

A Compact Rucksack with Minimalist & Vintage Charm

Introducing our small leather rucksack, the ideal companion for lovers of vintage and refined accessories in their everyday lives. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this leather rucksack adds a retro flair and unique elegance to your style while remaining practical and versatile.

With an adjustable and removable shoulder strap, you can effortlessly switch between wearing it as a ladies’ 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 various outings and activities.

 

Travel Light with Confidence Using a Sturdy & Water-Resistant Bag

My leather business backpack serves as both a travel essential and a fashion accessory. Therefore, it is essential that it is solid and reliable, allowing you to store your travel necessities securely.

This leather bag is crafted from crazy horse leather, a type of full-grain leather treated with wax, making it both robust and waterproof. This noble material ages beautifully, developing a rich patina over time.

Carry Everything You Need with a Spacious & Functional Leather Rucksack

Despite its compact size, this bag offers ample storage space when well-organized. The sleek, minimalist design contributes to its spaciousness.

The exterior features two zippered pockets, including one at the back to safeguard your most valuable items. The main compartment is protected by a stylish leather flap that closes securely with two straps featuring magnetic clips.

Inside, you’ll find a large main storage area of approximately 10 liters, along with two slit pockets designed to maximize organization and convenience.

 

Embrace Versatility and Style to the Fullest

This backpack is an excellent companion due to its versatility. It pairs seamlessly with a variety of outfits and is suitable for many occasions. Whether you’re going for a stroll, heading to school, working, or traveling, it will enhance your best looks.

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

Isn’t it time you tried it out?

Note: full grain leather is a natural material, which may have small traces, veins or marks inherent to the material. Scratches can be easily removed by lightly rubbing them with a cloth impregnated with vegetable oil. The color of the leather might slightly varies depending on the batches. 

Oil immersed leather products can be  prone by nature to colour transference on light fabrics. To avoid that, please make sure to dry your leather if it gets wet and try avoid contact with light coloured fabrics. If you however notice some stains, don't worry, it come out in the wash.
