Carting around various electronic devices, notebooks, a wallet, keys, and other sundries isn’t normally conducive to looking and feeling stylish. By smashing the stereotype that backpacks can’t be both functional and stylish, the Beckett Simonon Logan Backpack aims to remedy that. It begins with a pared-down design, stripping the bag down to the bare essentials albeit in a sumptuous full grain vachetta leather. From there every pocket, detail, and component is tweaked until it serves just the right purpose.
Each bag is treated like a high-end piece of fashion and is handmade in small batches under ethical working conditions. To add to the well-being of both the maker and the owner, each piece uses chrome-free leather, water-based solvents, and non-toxic conditioners. The inside is just as cozy as the outside with a cotton twill lining. A separate laptop compartment can safely hold a 15-inch laptop, while three additional internal pockets provide optimal stashing opportunities. Extra finishing touches such as solid brass hardware, a reinforced top handle, and adjustable shoulder straps give the bag extra heft and prestige.
