    Leather backpacks are timeless classics that convince both in everyday life and at work. The assortment ranges from simple laptop backpacks to colourful styles with decorative elements. In addition to masculine and feminine versions, you will find all-purpose models: mostly they are leather backpacks in nostalgic vintage style. The variety of shapes is also impressive and includes trapezoidal, rectangular and rounded backpack models. The features vary accordingly: for example, a leather backpack can be secured with two-way zip, lacing together with a cover or folding closure. A business leather backpack often boasts a trolley strap and a ventilated back. But even without a padded back with ventilation channels, leather backpacks offer good air circulation. The material has naturally breathable properties that are particularly advantageous for backpacks. Urban variants offer a front compartment for essentials and usually also a pocket for valuables on the backside. Most models provide a volume of 5 (a leather backpack for women) to 30 litres (a business leather backpack), depending on the intended use. For larger models, make sure the shoulder straps are wide enough so that they are comfortable even with a heavy load.

    Leather backpacks: popular materials and their properties

    Not all types of leather are the same! The different sorts have their own special features. Most backpacks are made of cowhide. It is very strong and hard-wearing and is usually obtained as a leftover product from the food industry. If your leather backpack is made of calfskin, it features a finer grain and higher tear resistance. Buffalo leather is known for its pleasant feel but is one of the most delicate types. The leather backpack made from lambskins is characterized by a particularly smooth surface and soft feel but is less robust than other types of leather. Leather backpacks weigh up to two kilograms: goatskin is considered a particularly light material. It is thin and at the same time very hard-wearing. That is why it is one of the most valuable types of leather. Regardless of the sort you choose, you can expect every genuine leather backpack to be very durable. This means that the leather backpacks are also sustainable.

    Every leather backpack is unique due to the natural properties of the material. Over time, it also develops a beautiful patina that emphasizes the individual character. Backpacks made of the so-called pull-up leather or fat leather, which consists of cowhides as standard, develop this characteristic layer particularly quickly. These marks of use tell your story and are quite intentional. Another distinction concerns the structure. Whether smooth, suede or patent leather, the surface finish depends, among other things, on the style. While smooth leather has a classic and clean look, suede oscillates between casual and pithy, depending on how pronounced the effect is. A laptop leather backpack usually has a smooth surface to emphasize the professional impression. A compact leather backpack with a roughened finish is usually a women's backpack that is a good substitute for a handbag. Similarly, patent leather backpacks are mostly women's models intended for city use. Embossing and braiding are also classic types of surface treatment for a leather backpack for women: the selection here ranges from an animalistic Croco print to an elaborate diamond pattern made of two diagonally interwoven leather strips.

    A vegan leather backpack: Is it a genuine leather model?

    Admittedly, the term vegan leather is somewhat misleading. It combines two terms that are actually exclusive to each other. Vegan means a complete absence of animal components, so a vegan leather backpack is not a classic genuine leather model. Most variants contain innovative plant fibres or synthetic materials that look similar to real leather but are completely free of animal products. Based on the visual similarity, these materials are called vegan leather.

    How do you care for your leather backpack properly?

    Whether you have chosen a laptop leather backpack for the office or a leather backpack in vintage look for leisure time, the right care routine can prolong the life of your favourite companion. It is best to impregnate your leather backpack before wearing it for the first time and at regular intervals afterwards – to protect it against moisture and prevent water stains. Positive effect: the impregnation also protects against light soiling! If your leather rucksack does get wet, never leave it to dry in direct sunlight or on the radiator. Instead, stuff the backpack with paper and let it air dry. Models made of suede are particularly sensitive: they also do not tolerate damp cleaning and should be treated with special brushes, erasers and lotions. A backpack made of smooth leather or patent leather can be carefully wiped clean with a damp cloth. Special leather creams and balms are helpful for strong abrasion. The following applies to all care products: Please pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions and test the selected product on an inconspicuous area first. Storage also plays an important role if you want to enjoy your leather backpack for as long as possible. Optimal storage is in an air-permeable fabric bag. If storing your leather backpack for a longer time, keep it stuffed – that way it will retain its form.
