Forde Backpack

Product Details

The Forde Leather Backpack has been created with versatility and functionality in mind. Crafted from cow leather, it is incredibly soft. The opening of the backpack is wide to accommodate larger items and closes with a zip. A curved handle at the top of this leather bag allows you to grab hold of it on the go and is just one of the three ways it can be carried. In addition to the handle, the straps can be used as a backpack and can also be adjusted to be used as an across the shoulder bag. A zippered section is located on the back to keep any precious items safe.

Material

Cow Leather

Leather is a natural material made from animal hides that have been preserved and softened through a tanning process. We select our leathers based on their properties and the intended application.

Leather lasts a long time, ages well and is easy to care for and repair. Unlike many synthetic materials, leather develops patina over time and gets better with age.
