Our X-Backpack is inspired by the packs carried by Himalayan sherpas, who attach their gear to the outside of their bags with large crosses.

It took us a year to come up with the dimensions, lines, closures, and functionality that together make our own X-Backpack: a design rarely seen in Western city life. The result is self-evident: a backpack that's city-friendly, durable, and attractive.

The X-Backpack is made of 2.4mm water-resistant, vegetable-tanned leather from Italy. This dense, beautiful leather will hold its shape forever. Sun, rain, and snow will deepen its color and soften the leather over time.

The solid brass hardware on the X-Backpack is hand-tooled and manufactured in small quantities by a foundry in England.

The interior includes a divider (fits a 13" Macbook Pro), a large zippered pocket (10"x 12”), and a brass key hook.

The bag fits a 15" laptop in its main compartment.

A zippered pocket on the back panel allows for secure and easy access to your wallet or phone (fits an iPhone 10+).

Dimensions: 16” x 12" x 4" Weighs approximately 1.5 lbs

We can make the X-Backpack in white, walnut, black.

If you would like to discuss different color options for the cross ( see first picture) please email us.

Our goods are designed, hand-cut, and hand-crafted at our studio; please allow a lead-time of 3-4 weeks for the X-Backpack.
