Design of the Front Pocket Leather Backpack

There is no luck in making a quality leather backpack. And this leather backpack with pockets is no exception. It was purposefully designed with no breakable parts like zippers, snaps, or velcro. And any stress spot is reinforced with Polyester straps hidden beneath the leather and riveted. The body of this leather backpack is built with just two big pieces of leather, which means there aren't many seams. The fewer the seams, the stronger the backpack because backpacks come apart at the seams before anywhere else. And then we only sew 5 stitches per inch, so there are as few holes as possible. Quality can be measured in Seam Feet (how few feet of seams a bag has. We made that term up).

Materials used to create this Leather Backpack with Pockets

This backpack is made out of strong materials. The full grain leather is very tough and more resistant to water. The lining is made from pigskin, which is even stronger than cowhide. The hardware is made from 316 Stainless Steel, which is very strong and will not rust. The thread used to sew the backpack together is Polyester, which does not deteriorate in the sun as nylon thread does.

Full Grain Leather

The leather of this backpack is the strongest and most water-resistant we can find (full grain), and then we line it with pigskin, which is stronger than the cow skin. It's rare for a low-quality company to use full grain to make a leather backpack because it's so expensive. When I say "Full Grain Leather" I mean that it still has all of the tough, tightly woven fibers on the top of the hide.

A Genuine Leather Backpack is Missing the Strength

Most companies shave off the scars and blemishes from the top of the hide (watch how they shave it here at minute 6:30) and shave off the strongest and best part of the hide (the grain) while doing it. They shave it down to genuine leather. They do it, so they don't have to cut around the marks and throw those pieces into the trash as we do. We throw away 25% of the hide. They don't throw hardly anything away. But since it still has leather, they can call it a genuine leather backpack. It will not last nearly as long and is missing the beauty.

A Vegan Leather Backpack is Plastic Garbage

Vegan leather is ridiculous. It doesn't even make sense. It's usually polyurethane or PVC, which is a plastic. Do you want to wear a plastic backpack? No? We don't want you to either. You and I both know that will not last longer than your carebear backpack as a kid.

Seriously Strong Hardware in this Leather Backpack with Pockets

I know using 316 Stainless Steel custom hardware is kind of like killing a fly with a shotgun, but we did it anyways. Check that one off the list of potential problems. Our large pieces of hardware on our backpacks are rated strong enough to hold a 750 lb. bag of cats before it gives. Seriously, I hope you google it to understand more. If your life is going to depend on any metal, let it depend on 316 Stainless Steel.

The Best Thread to Hold it all Together

We sew it all together with thick and strong Polyester thread. It's industrial strength and doesn't deteriorate with exposure to the Sun's UV rays like Nylon thread does. This Leather Backpack is very strong from the nature of the materials we use.

From a Brown Leather Backpack, to a Black Leather Backpack, you have options

We know not everyone has the same style. So this leather backpack with pockets comes in four different colors. The light tan color (called Tobacco) develops a beautiful patina over time. There's also Dark Coffee Brown, Chestnut (reddish brown), and Black. So find the style that will suit you.

Very Spacious Main Compartment

The interior main compartment has enough space for your 17" laptop, a charger, other electronic gear, some personal items, your passport, a book, or possibly a few books. You could probably even fit a monkey in there if you had to. But we wouldn't recommend that. This is a very durable leather bag with plenty of room.

---

Adjustable Shoulder Straps

We want this leather backpack to be easy to carry on and off your back. So we made the most comfortable straps that are easily adjustable. This makes for easy access as you take it off to grab something out and toss it back on your back.

Worth the Waiting and Patience.

Let me start off by saying I held off on writing a negative review. I ordered this bag, got it rather quick, and I loved the color, the smell, and the FEEL of the leather. Seriously. It feels and smells amazing! The color was a nice “blonde” Tobacco color, which was something I feared I wouldn’t get since apparently a lot of people get a darker tone. Well, as I was going over it, I realized the stitching was off on the front pocket. It wasn’t quite sewed properly. No problem. I decided to return it. (This process took a while). Finally I got my new bag. But the color was darker this time... I was really excited for it and the shades were different for the bag. One pocket was lighter than the other, etc. It was a bittersweet moment. But no problem. I had a bag! Well by the end of the day, I realized my Yeti bottle actually tore the side pocket because once again the stitching was off. This was in day one! I returned it (two bags by now). Now my third bag? Wow. This bag is amazing. I have gotten compliments from people every day at work this week. It’s such a great bag! The stitching was perfect. There were some LITTLE imperfections that I found but it’s okay. I’ll get over them. The color was even lighter, like I requested and I even got a Key fob finally! The stitching is what keeps the bag together so I knew if the stitching was bad, the bag would soon enough tear apart. This is a great quality bag and worth the money (and the time). I wish I could have gotten a great bag initially but it’s okay. This bag is perfect and I’m certain people will fight over it when I’m day. Great job to the service reps and the hands behind the making of this bag. Love it!

There is no equal!

Nothing even comes close to this backpack! After you touch, hold, smell, and use one of these, everything else is simply and unequivocally, pathetic.

Amazing backpack

Can easily fit 3 large textbooks, a notebook, a laptop and an iPad in the main compartment. Side pouches and pockets can store phone, pens, maps and small moleskine journals easily. Side pockets can also fit chargers and cables for 87W MacBook Pro charger which works out wonderfully. Great quality backpack and great looking too. Exactly what I wanted.

I've wanted this for 12 years.

I've wanted this backpack for 12 years. Yes 12 years. Finally pulled the trigger and very glad I did. In the first week of buying it I was literally hugging the backpack every day. It's really a beautiful piece of art. I use it every single day. Mon - Fri it's a great bag to take to work - looks smart, and fits all my gym gear and books easily. On the weekends it accompanies me on my nature walks. It swallows everything I need or want to throw in it. I'm very glad I finally bought this backpack, it adds a lot of value to my life.

Almost perfect.

I got this bag in the mail a week ago and it was phenomenal. The look was amazing and it actually had that nice “blonde” Tobacco color. The ONLY problem I could find with the bag was that the front pocket wasn’t sewn on correctly. The thread wasn’t stitched all the way on both sides and one side had already ripped a bit and you could pull on the front pocket and see the string going between the leather. That was the only problem. The quality of the materials is excellent and the smell is absolutely amazing. I contacted their support email and I still haven’t gotten a reply. Wish their customer service was quicker. Other than that, it’s a great bag, but for almost $600, I expect the bag to be perfect (it wasn’t a Dave’s Deals) and customer service to be faster.
