Metropolitan Leather Backpack

One silhouette, three hides. The slimmest leather backpack we make, and the one that disappears under a suit jacket.

The Metropolitan is cut flat rather than boxy. A single zip runs the height of the front panel; the main compartment opens on a full-length zip so the front stays clean. Inside, a padded sleeve takes a 15-inch laptop against a leather-lined back panel, with a document section and a zipped pocket for the small things.

Offered in three crazy horse hides. Cognac starts honeyed and deepens. Chestnut carries the most figure in the grain. Onyx is the quietest of the three and the one that reads as business.

Why You'll Love It

Most leather backpacks are boxy because boxy is easier to build and holds more. This one gives up the volume in exchange for a profile that does not push a jacket out of shape, which is the whole reason to own it. The three hides are genuinely different animals rather than three dye lots — worth looking at closely before choosing.
