Penrose Drawstring Backpack

The Penrose Drawstring Backpack offers the capacity of a compact daypack with the refinement of a handbag. The main compartment comfortably holds a long wallet, sunglasses case, small cosmetic pouch, e-reader or paperback, and a compact umbrella, with space left for a charger and snacks. Four interior pockets are ideal for separating a small notebook, card case, lip products, and earbuds, while the interior zip pocket secures valuables such as a passport or keys. The outside zip pocket keeps your phone, transit card, or hand sanitizer accessible without needing to open the main compartment, making it an excellent choice for days when you want to carry more than a crossbody but less than a full-size backpack. Wear it as an everyday backpack for hands-free commuting, weekend errands, or city exploring. The adjustable shoulder straps allow you to customize the fit whether worn over both shoulders for longer outings or slung over one shoulder for quick trips. Its scaled-down profile sits neatly against the back, pairing effortlessly with casual denim, relaxed office looks, or polished travel outfits. This is a versatile option when you want the ease of a backpack with a silhouette refined enough for lunch meetings or evenings out.

Crafted in Italy from full-grain cowhide, this leather is smooth, refined, and richly finished for timeless appeal.

This leather has not been specifically treated for water repellency. Thus, the leather will temporarily darken when wet, and return to the original tone once completely dry. The waxed surface may assist in staving off some dirt. With continued use, a lovely shine or patina will develop, only enhancing the beauty of this leather. It is also characteristic for lighter colors to darken with use over time, and with exposure to light.

Minor abrasions may be removed or lessened with the use of a very soft cloth and a gentle buffing action.

This collection requires no creams, polishes or leather conditioning products to maintain its beauty.
