autumndeerVintage Unisex Casual Leather Backpack Canvas Rucksack Bookbag Satchel Hiking Backpack Travel Outdoor Shouder Bag

I got this bag because my 20 year old jansport finally kicked the bucket and I spent weeks shopping for replacement(s). I say replacements because I'm at drama school and what I need to take with me varies wildly from day to day, so I have a giant 45L bag with waist straps for days when I need to carry a lot of stuff like for dance classes and this one for normal days.The thing that drove me nuts about all the other bags was that because I'm on the go a lot - I read my scripts and charge my phone on my commute, and i need quick access to umbrellas, hand sanitiser and door passes - the lack of outside pockets on most bags did my head in and then carting stuff around rehearsal rooms also drove me nuts having to piss around with zips and my stuff just exploding all over the floor, this bag has so many benefits for me and makes my incredibly busy and active life much easlier.This how I have my bag set up and what I can fit in it:The side pockets are zippered and far too small to carry a water bottle. On one side, I have my charging brick, cable and plug, the other side is my umbrella. Front pocket I keep sanitiser, masks, tissues, train/building passes, cbd oil and eye drops.On the inside there is a padded back flap where you can store a laptop and it has an elasticated velcro strap to hold it in place. I've only carried a 14inch macbook pro in once and it was comfy enenough. I rarely use this pocket though I'm sure it'll come in handy in the future. In the main body of the bag there are two internal pockets. one is zippered, one is velcro closure and the 2 are small are sort of flappy pockets. I keep my pencil case and glasses in the velcro closure and don't really use the others for anything because the fabric is a bit more flimsy and anything bulky in the side just gets in the way for me. There's also a small zippered canvas flap at the top of the bag I keep my cork ball (myofascial release) and my bank card in, and I clip my keys to the zip with a carabiner.In the main compartment I fit a tall skinny 1l water bottle, a 600ml thermos mug, an 15 plastic zippy wallet with my notebook and scripts. Fitting a lunchbag in here is a bit of a struggle but it's doable. If I need to have character shoes with me that day I'll either carry the lunchbag in my hand with the shoes inside the bag if it's raining, or if it's dry I'll buckle my shoe straps to the buckles on the bag and look like a weirdo flapping down the street. I can usually also take my ultralight down coat and scarf off, drape them over the top of the bag and secure them down with the flap of the bag because even though they're magnetic clasps instead of actual buckles they're pretty strong and I don't worry about them popping open.The one major downside of this bag is that it is not even remotely waterproof. I sprayed it with tech wash and also rubbed a ton of barbour wax into the fabric and my stuff still got drenched, so I've had to buy a waterproof shell to put over it if it rains - because anything that falls on an umbrella just drips straight down and soaks the bag which isn't great when your charging brick is in there.The straps aren't very padded but they're comfy enough, the drawstring thingy is decent too. It's lasted a month of daily abuse and is in good nick so far, so no complaints.

Lovely colour, looks great. Sturdy bag, doesn't look or feel cheap. Really happy thank you!

Great little rucksack for the money. Well put together and enough pockets to be useful. Zips seem ok. Only thing I’d change would be the magnetic clips for good old fashioned buckles.Good for day hike and general use.Will give it a waterproofing spray just to keep it good. Wouldn’t think it would last too long in a storm but would recommend it for a good, well priced bag.

Says leather but it's canvas

Looks nice 👌

A friend wanted a casual backpack and she was really pleased with this one. She liked the vintage look and colour, and says it's comfortable and robust so far. It's for day-to-day use, and is not used for a laptop, so she doesn't mind the lack of water-proofing and prefers the slightly smaller size (although some reviewers mention this is a potential problem). Based on feedback, I'd say this is a good product at a good price.

The title says "leather" casual rucksack. Well, it's not, it's a canvass rucksack

So one day my daughter, who’s four was sitting in the back of our car as we drove into London. This backpack was In the floor well, under her feet. As we were in a rush, we decided to stop at Macdonalds to grab some fast food on the way into London.Eat and drive was a priority as we needed to get to our destination quick smart. (Important note - I was not eating whilst driving, my wife and kids were).So, we got our fast food and continued on our way. Everything was going fine, the traffic was clear, my wife finished her food and the kids were quietly eating away as we drove down the M1 into London. Great I thought, I nice easy journey. No kids arguments. No stress for my wife and I with traffic jams and no nagging from the kids asking - WHEN WILL WE BE THERE!! HOW LONG NOW DADDY!!!Just as I thought this, the rye smile of self confidence and happiness sank from my face. The kids had started the most ridiculous argument ever, over who’s macdonalds toy was who’s. I don’t know if you have ever heard an argument between a four and ten year old, You hear the most ridiculous comments and positions of an argument. As the argument grew into shouting at each, my wife and I were about to intervene to resolve and calm the argument when my son decided to wind my four year old daughter up further by placing his cold vanilla milk shake on my daughters lap. As I concentrated on the road with the occasional glance in the rear view mirror, I was horrified to see my daughter had stiffened herself - arms and legs out straight which caused the said Milkshake to catapult off my daughters lap straight onto my backpack which was holding my laptop and other personals. This was not good, not good at all. It was a very hot day and this is milkshake. So to cut the story short, the milkshake stunk out the car, my backpack (this backpack here on amazon) but protected my laptop no problem. After we got home, I had no patience to hand wash the backpack, so I stuck it in the washing machine on a 40 degree wash followed by the tumble dryer. Any backpack I can do this too and it comes out looking like new is GOOD WITH ME! Like I said, kid milkshake, washing machine and dryer proof! Sorted and highly recommmeded if you have kids sitting in the back of true car drinking potentially stinky drinks on a hot day when you anticipate an argument!
