Our durable leather goods are unlined, featuring the natural suede side of the hide. Since fabric-lined bags inevitably discolor and tear with use, we chose to showcase the soft sueded underside of our hides, ensuring that your bag lasts a lifetime.
Because leather is a natural material, slight color and batch variations are normal. Factors like hide age, season, and dye absorption can all affect the final shade—making each piece uniquely yours.
Our leather is incredibly easy to care for. With time and use, the natural oils in the leather will rise to the surface, developing a beautiful patina and smoothing any scuffs or scratches that may have accumulated. Learn more about caring for your new leather product.
Full Grain: Meticulously sourced from the finest hides, this premium material boasts unique textures and character, showcasing nature's artistry at its best. As time passes, watch as its surface develops a unique patina, telling your personal journey through the years. Unlike processed leathers, full grain leather stands the test of time, due to its unmatched strength and resilience. Its dense fibers offer exceptional resistance to wear, cuts, and moisture, our full grain leather ensures lasting beauty that only gets better with age.
Pebbled: Unlike most brands that use artificial stamping methods to create patterns, our pebbled leather is achieved through a natural tumbling process. The distinctive raised, pebble-shaped texture adds sophistication and makes a bold statement wherever you go. But it's not just about looks—pebbled leather is built to last. Worried about daily wear and tear? Don’t be! The unique pebbled surface ages gracefully, developing a natural patina that will evolve for years to come!
Suede: Our suede leather begins with an intricate process: the hide is split to separate the soft underside from the top layer. This top layer is then tanned, buffed, sanded, and dyed to create the signature velvety texture that defines high-quality suede. Naturally slouchy and pliable, suede leather ages gracefully, developing a rich patina that tells its own story over time. Most natural imperfections are gently smoothed away during production, while subtle traces—like healed veining and the soft, napped surface—are preserved to celebrate the leather’s unique character and charm.

Amazing
by: Kelley S.
This bag is fantastic! Incredible quality and the perfect size! I can fit two books in here with plenty of room for my day to day items. And absolutely love the cold brew color!
Amazing backpack
by: Sarah H.
I gifted this bag to my daughter for her 13th birthday. She has been carrying, well .. I have been, and she has been using it since it was received! It's gotten nicely soft and squishy. Feels very sturdy. The only reason I took away a star is because I was hoping for the straps to be similar to the larger backpack tote! Those straps can be criss crossed to be more of an angle at the shoulder, these have a sliding adjustment. My daughter has slender shoulders and the bag just slips off when she walks. Its the perfect size for her as she is small. :)
Small tote backpack
by: Emily J.
I use the classic tote backpack as my everyday bag. I ordered the mini for times when I don't need as much but want to be hands free. Picture is my plum classic compared to my orchid small. 1. I love that the straps of the small are continuous/self-contained instead of having the ends curl up like the classic can be prone to do. 2. I wish the straps on the small were *slightly* wider. Not quite as wide as the classic, since that would be out of proportion. I haven't worn it all day yet but so far the thinner straps are still comfortable. 3. I didn't realize that the small does not have an internal pocket. My fault for missing it in the description. Not a huge deal, but I would be bothered by it if it was for everyday use. 4. I LOVE the orchid leather. It's soft and pebbled, beautiful color that will give a nice pop but also go with a lot of different outfits. Feels very similar to my coldbrew bags. Overall, I love it.
Nutmeg Tote Backpack
by: Annie S.
Isn’t she beautiful? She is cooler than I am , more artisanal, more earthy, more hip. She elevates my style and my image.
Hello Gorgeous!
by: Jade A.
The most beautiful backpack I have ever owned. Foxglove is the type of pink I love: not bright or discordant but neutral and rich, leaning slightly towards purple. The leather feels velvety soft. I did treat it thoroughly with Apple Garde spray before use to keep this more delicate brushed leather protected from stains or rough wear. I have a Sidekick in Succulent (same leather but green) that I didn’t treat and the corners are already a little worn just from carrying it in a tote for a couple weeks. The backpack straps could be a little shorter for me (5’2” 170lbs) but I’m sure they are this long with sizing holes all the way to the end to be inclusive for bodies of all sizes, which I do appreciate.
In love!
by: M S.
I bought the tote backpack because we have a few upcoming trips and carrying a purse for long durations hurts my my neck shoulder. I am OBSESSED! I carried it everywhere and even loaded it up with stuff and I couldn’t feel a thing. I love this backpack!! My companion on all future adventures. Not to forget the quality is awesome and the leather smells divine!
Beautiful Backpack in Lava
by: Shawna C.
I thought I might be too old to wear a backpack but that is definitely not the case with this one! It’s stylish, roomy, and smells amazing! It’s a fabulous addition to my outfits and I get so many compliments when I wear it.
Satsuma backpack 🧡
by: Rebecca
Beautiful color, smell is amazing! Be aware this particular satsuma is smoother than previous pebbled versions. Very happy with the size and how it fits as well. I’m 5’3” size 4 for reference.
Beautiful Backpack!
by: Jessica W.
I received my Nimbus Classic Tote Backpack a couple weeks ago. First, the color is beautiful with the gold hardware. Second it is so so soft while still maintaining the structure. Third, the straps are surprisingly comfortable. And last, the size is wonderful, it carried everything I need (and some) I can not recommend this bag enough!!
Tote backpack is roomier than you think!
by: Angel R.
This bag holds a lot more than you'd expect and is comfortable to wear! I'm 5'6" and a size 12. The tote backpack is deeper at the bottom than the laptop backpack and is a great running around bag.
Love this bag!!
by: Kathy
The backpack purse was even better than I expected! I ordered Cowboy Mint and it is gorgeous. Bag is well made and the leather is beautiful.
Love!
by: Amaryllis
Absolutely love my new backpack in Aqua!
AMAZING
by: Crystal P.
I got the classic tote backpack in nimbus and it is gorgeous. The backpack fits perfectly on my plus size frame and is big enough to hold everything I need it to.
Stunning 🤩
by: Jesslyn M.
Absolutely LOVE my backpack tote in Tulip! It was so hard to choose but this color truly pops and the quality of the bag is exceptional! So smooth yet durable, and the inner pocket has plenty of room for wallet, keys, book, and some extras. Would highly recommend and will be getting more!

Cobalt is Everything 🩷
by: Kimberly S.
I am loving my new cobalt backpack! The color is amazing, better in person. Easy to use and lightweight. Portland Leather is top notch
Gimme some Sugar!
by: Lauren C.
This is seriously the perfect backpack! Enough room for everyday use, road trips, and short hikes. Fits two 32 oz Owalas if needed. My only ask would be a side pocket for hand sanitizer. I’ve worn this while out and about for a whole day and it’s very comfortable, even when loaded down. And Sugar is gorgeous…super soft and amazing pebbles.
