It carries the day's essentials through the morning commute, sits by the desk through the afternoon, and brings everything home again. The leather changes slowly along the way, softening where hands and shoulders meet it and deepening in tone with each season. After a year, a leather backpack no longer looks new. It looks like yours.
A working day puts any bag through its paces. Mornings in the crowd, hours by the desk, the walk home at the end of it. A leather backpack takes that wear well, keeping its shape and protecting what it holds long after lesser materials give out. The years add up quietly, and the bag keeps pace. What belongs inside a bag like this comes next.
A day out of the house carries more than most people expect. A leather backpack takes the regular loads below without losing its shape.
Phone, wallet, keys, earphones, a water bottle and an umbrella for the afternoon downpour. The things picked up and put down all day, kept quick to reach.
Documents, a charger, a pencil case and the book or tablet the day is built around. Leather holds heavier loads well and keeps them protected on the move.
A jumper for the cold office, lunch from home, the groceries or parcel collected on the way back. The bag keeps its shape even when full.
Shape like that comes from the material itself. Leather is chosen for bags because it holds up to years of daily carry, and because time treats it kindly, softening the surface and deepening the colour with use. Cared for now and then, a leather backpack outlasts the years it was bought for. It is a belief Moleskine has held from the beginning, that the objects closest to daily life should be made well enough to stay in it.
