These great back-packs combine the wonderful qualities of goat leather with the ergonomic advantages of a backpack, allowing you or your children to carry what’s needed and, at the same time, keep your hands free.
The leather is strong and durable and yet it is light in weight and will age beautifully, becoming softer and more flexible over time. Being light in weight and very durable, it is perfect as a child’s school bag (for boys or girls) that they can treasure for years to come.
We offer this bag in two styles: the satchel style (BMP) and the messenger-style backpack (BMPT). Please let us know via eBay or email which style you would prefer when you place your order. If we don't hear from you we will send you the MESSENGER STYLE BACKPACK (BMPT).
This bag also available in a 14.5" size (BLP). Please check out our backpack section or send us an email.
Each of our bags is individually made by experienced craftspeople in India using goat leather. Being handmade, each bag is different. There may be variations in the colour and texture of the leather and the leather may be pieced together differently on each bag. They are all beautiful to look at and lovely to hold.
The leather is strong and durable and yet it is light in weight and will age beautifully, becoming softer, darker and more flexible over time.
The inside of the bag is divided into three separate compartments and has two zippered pockets on the inside. The internal lining is in sturdy green canvas. The straps are adjustable and firmly secured to the back of the bag using multiple rivets.
The leather used for these bags is not chemically treated so, initially, it has a distinctive earthy smell which fades over the first 4 - 6 weeks of regular use.
Why goat leather?
Largely unknown in Australia, goat hide is an all-purpose leather that combines comfort and softness with durability and strength. Traditionally, it has been used for sturdy work wear, designed to last. It is flexible and water-resistant and does not crack or get hard when wet.
