It’s Good-Lookin’

Whether you’re headed to the office or cracking open a cold beer with the boys on Friday, The Compact is just as beautiful as it is functional.

This stylish men’s leather backpack will boost your street cred tenfold, what with his premium top grain leather that will have every eye around you green.

Getting organized has never looked this suave.

It’s Practical

When we say The Compact has a spot for everything, we mean everything.

15.6” laptop? Check. Notebook? Check. Pens? Spare socks? Erm…flute? Triple check.

From home to work to Milan, this top grain leather backpack for men always has your back (pun intended, sorry).

Plus, the clasps won’t break like some cheap-leather-bags-that-won’t-be-named.

It’s High-Quality

Born at the hands of expert leather artisans, each Compact leather backpack is just as unique as the next.

While each edition bears the same design our customers love, its handmade nature means yours will showcase the unique nuances of your craftsman.

Owning a Compact leather backpack means owning something unique no one else has.

It’s An Investment

While there are plenty of cheap-leather-bags-that-won’t-be-named lining the shelves of stores near you, there’s only one Compact.

AKA, there’s only one leather backpack for men that looks good, feels great, and will last forever.

The price tag attached to this bad boy is nominal considering the fact that you’re getting a tireless, charming leather companion for life.

Thanks Ava!

Love this bag!!

I searched high and low for a functional travel back pack for months ( I fly twice every week across the country ) that had the roller bag strap on the back. Once I saw this I liked it. Now that I’ve had it for several weeks and it has 1000s of miles on it, I love it! I have spent some time on it “weathering” it a bit and it looks amazing and looking better all the time. I already get compliments on it. Plenty of room for my laptop/charger, my thick Bible, headphones, cables, water bottles, and the rest of my gear. I would buy another one, but I don’t think it’s going to “give up the ghost” any time soon!!! Buy it!

Thanks so much Dustin! This is terrific!

Good looking

Product arrived just like expected. Strong and sturdy with good metal zippers. Couple flights and stored in overhead compartment no problems. Straps are long enough to be able to use just one for over the shoulder and position the pack well when using both.

FAQ

Find all the answers you need to enjoy our premium leather goods with confidence. Explore our FAQs to learn about our high-quality materials, easy returns, free shipping, and more.

What type of leather are your bags made from?

Our bags are made from a range of quality full grain and top grain leathers. Our leathers are renowned for their durability, rich texture, and ability to develop a beautiful patina over time.

How do I care for your leather bags?

To keep our bags looking their best, we recommend regular conditioning with a leather cream and avoiding prolonged exposure to water. For more information, read our leather care guide.

What is your return and exchange policy?

We offer hassle-free returns and exchanges within 30 days of purchase. If you’re not completely satisfied, we’ll make it right.

Do you offer a warranty or guarantee?

Yes, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund. We’re confident in the quality of our products and want you to shop with peace of mind.

How long does shipping take, and is it free?

Your order will be processed within 1-2 days, and then delivery typically takes 2-5 days. Best of all, shipping is free to the contiguous US, UK, and Canada.

Can I personalize or customize my leather bag?

While we don’t offer monogramming, our high-quality leather products can easily be personalized by a local leatherworker for a custom touch.

Will my device fit?

To check if your device fits any product:

1. Measure diagonally across your screen (only the screen, not the frame or edges).
2. Round down to the nearest whole inch (e.g., 15.6” becomes 15”).
3. If your measurement is equal to or smaller than the size given on the product page, your device will fit. If larger, consider a different bag size.

Example: A 14-inch laptop will fit any bag labeled for up to 15-inch devices.

Will this bag fit me?

Our leather bags are designed for all body sizes, with adjustable shoulder and backpack straps available on our leather goods.

Real leather is naturally heavier, so we’ve made the straps easy to adjust for maximum comfort and effortless carrying.
