Men’s Italian Leather Backpacks

Men's Italian leather backpacks handmade in Florence from full-grain Italian leather. Seventeen styles built for the same three jobs: a commute with a laptop in it, a work week that ends somewhere else, and everything in between.

What to look for in a leather backpack

Laptop compartment, or just a big pocket? A dedicated padded sleeve holds a machine against the back panel where the weight belongs. An undivided main compartment means the laptop shifts and takes the impact of whatever else is in there. Every product page states which you are getting and the maximum screen size.

Strap width. Narrow straps cut in once a bag is loaded. Anything you intend to carry daily wants straps at least 3cm wide, and wider on a larger bag.

Full-grain or top-grain. Full-grain is stronger and develops a patina, which on a backpack means the wear pattern from your own shoulders becomes part of the bag. Top-grain is lighter and more stain-resistant. Both are named specifically on each product page rather than described as "genuine leather" — a phrase that tells you less than it appears to.

Weight before you fill it. Real leather is heavier than nylon. A leather backpack in genuine hide starts around 800g empty. Anything suspiciously light is thin split leather over a stiffener.

Sizes and specifications

Exact width, height, depth, strap drop and laptop capacity are listed in centimetres and inches on every product page. Measure a bag you already own before you order — "medium" is not a standard.

Complete the set with men's Italian leather wallets or belts, made in the same workshops from the same hides. For a structured alternative, see men's leather briefcases.

Frequently asked questions

Will a 16-inch laptop fit? Several styles take up to 16 inches. The maximum size is stated on each product page.

Where do these ship from? Florence, Italy, direct. Duties and import taxes are included in the price, so nothing is payable on delivery.

Do they soften with use? Full-grain styles do, noticeably, over the first few months. Top-grain stays closer to how it arrives.
