Waxed Canvas Roll Top Backpack with Leather Straps, 31 x 13 x 45 cm

This waxed canvas backpack measures 31 x 13 x 45 cm (about 12.2 x 5.1 x 17.7 in), weighs 1.1 kg and is listed at 20 to 35 litres: a roll top backpack for city commutes and outdoor trips, with a laptop compartment, inside pockets and a rolled top closed by two cowhide leather straps. The look is vintage, unisex.

A roll top of 31 x 13 x 45 cm, 20 to 35 litres

The maker gives 31 cm wide, 13 cm deep and 45 cm high, measured by hand: allow 1 to 3 cm of difference. The bag weighs 1.1 kg empty. The stated capacity runs from 20 to 35 litres. On a roll top backpack the top is rolled down, and the number of turns can explain a range rather than a single figure; the listing does not detail this adjustment. No rain cover is included.

Oil waxed canvas and cowhide leather

The fabric is described as oil waxed canvas, hard-wearing and pleasant to the touch, with a retro effect of deep, light creases. This texture is unique to each bag: the surface is uneven, it marks and gets dirty when rubbed, and the shade can vary from one batch to another. The maker presents these marks as intended, not as a flaw. The straps, the front patch, the handle and the base are first-quality cowhide leather, presented as Crazy Horse: a slightly uneven surface whose light scratches fade with a finger. The bag is lined with polyester.

Two buckled straps, a laptop compartment and pockets

Two leather straps, closed by a silver-tone metal buckle, hold the rolled top in place. A top handle lets you carry the bag by hand, and two shoulder straps carry it on your back. Inside, the listing names a main compartment, a laptop compartment, a phone pocket, a zipped pocket and a slip pocket. Outside, the photos show a zip pocket and open side pockets.

Four colors, from khaki to lake green

The listing’s variants are named khaki, dark brown, army green and lake green. The photos show a green or khaki top over a grey-brown base, with the same brown leather. Because waxed canvas varies from one batch to another, the shade you receive may differ slightly from the photo.
