I have this backpack in Western Cedar, and it works for all occasions! Perfect for a walk around town, vacations, a quick hike, a trip to the mall with the littles! It holds a lot for it's size and is very comfortable. This particular leather doesn't scratch, stain, or change the same way the others do, which for this bag is great! The slip pockets are awesome! Love it!
I love the size, style and design of this bag and I had one in a beautiful limited edition color from the holiday auctions last year. But the tumbled leather, though beautiful, was a bit too soft for the jumble of stuff that I carry and I could feel bumps from pouches and wallets and such through the leather on my back when carrying it. Well, one year later I saw that more colors had been added so I ordered it in the beautiful, L41 "dusty" black, and I am in love! The leather is stiffer so I don't feel the stuff in the bag when it's on my back and the front pockets stay put better with the post closures. Since it's unlined, it will soften over time and the thickness and body of this leather are ideal. It was a great bag in Western Cedar and the other softer leathers, but in black it's just perfection for me.
Great for daily carry and for using as a purse. The front pockets are difficult because they dont stay closed and like leather will do, stretch out.
In general I like this backpack - but it could have been a GREAT backpack with a few minor changes. I dont like the little button things on the front that supposedly hold the 2 front flaps/compartmetns closed - they dont, the flaps are always open and therefore largely unusable - and they look cheap. Strong magnetic tabs might have been a better choice. A double zipper would be a good substitute so that it would be easy to open the main compartment from either side. But the quality of the leather is wonderful and I will use this pack for years to come, I hope !
This is the PERFECT bag for every day use. I love it! I love being hands free and not having to keep a bag from falling off my shoulder. With three kids, this bag is perfect to put a few snacks in and take off on an adventure!!
