Vintage styled men's backpack. The model of the backpack is reminiscent of the early 20th century retro Satchel.
This backpack is handmade by Italian artisans, of genuine Tuscan vegetable tanned leather with an aged effect.
How is vegetable tanning done? It is an ancient technique that dates back to the period of ancient Rome and developed in the lands of medieval Tuscany. The leather is placed in a barrel with water with natural dyes from plants and trees which are called tannins. The barrels are in rotation and shaking for about 48 hours. This technique allows to obtain a softer and more flexible leather.
The natural tanned leather has irregularities and roughness, the surface has darker tones in some areas, and lighter in others. This is not a defect, but the characteristic of real leather, tanned according to medieval Tuscan traditions.
This backpack has a warm brown color with a touch of Made in Italy vintage charm.
