Tired of your shoulders hurting from a purse that is too heavy? Done with school but still want to carry your stuff in a backpack? A leather backpack is the perfect solution!
While the piece itself may be a backpack, it is much more of a leather backpack purse
Measurements of Handmade Backpack:
14 inches wide, 17 inches tall, 5 inches deep.
This rucksack fits any 13 inch laptop!
The straps of the leather backpack are adjustable to 28-33 inches (but can be sized differently according to your preference- just message us!)
Each leather backpack is waterproofed and colour will not run if it gets wet.
This Vegetable-tanned leather Rucksack / Satchel has great durability and strength, and can easily last an entire lifetime. Solid hardware will not rust and can be polished to maintain its shine. And, should you ever want to sell your veg-tanned bag, you will be happy to know that vegetable tanned leathers are generally more valuable, and re-sold at a higher average price, than their chrome-tanned equivalents.
Vegetable tanning
Vegetable tanning is used in the creation of these leather backpacks and is the most ancient tanning method for leather . It uses tannins, which occur naturally in the bark and leaves of many plants. This method is 4-5 times more time consuming than the industrial chromic tanning process, which unlike vegetable tanning uses high levels of chemicals and toxins. Only about 10% of all current-day leather is veg-tanned, with 90% relying on various chemical composites to tan animal hides into leather.
Veg-tan leather used in the creation of these handmade leather backpacks has various aesthetic benefits, including colours and textures with a more natural, organic look. The irregular, handcrafted process means that every leather product has a unique look - no two veg-tanned leather backpack will look exactly alike. And, this unique character only enhanced with time, as veg-tanned leather ages beautifully, acquiring that priceless patina that comes with years of hard-earned use.
Production Speed
These are large leather backpacks, and I do not keep a lot of pre-assembled inventory (namely none) . The bags take 2 coats of dye, and 3-4 layers of oil which have to be separated by a drying time, as well as waterproofing and 6 hours of hand stitching. Normal turn around is marked as 1-2 weeks (in reality it is 7-8 days at regular speed). I am able to create these bags in 3 speeds- Regular, Faster (under 7 days - closer to 5-6) and 4 days. Please select an option when making your purchase if you would like your bag made faster!
Care instructions for your leather backpack:
As all fine leather goods the leather rucksack will soften up over time. If you would like to quicken that process, any leather treatment/ oil such as mink oil will help to expedite the process.
If you get caught in the rain, the leather backpack is fully waterproofed so all you need to do is wipe it down with paper towel, and use any leather conditioner available to you as you would with other fine leather goods!
