Love 41 Mini Backpack
I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect mini leather backpack. I purchased two that were far more expensive than this one and, while they were beautiful, they both fell short in some way. Either they were too big or too small, the straps were uncomfortable even after breaking in the leather, they were difficult to get things in and out of, the “tails” on the straps were annoying, etc.. The Love 41 Mini Backpack checks all of the boxes and has additional features I hadn’t even thought of. It’s the ideal size for everyday. It fits a surprising amount in its compact design. The organization is perfect with an exterior zipper pocket and interior slip pocket. I love that it has zipper closures...adds that extra security when wearing it in a crowded place. The zippers are high quality and open/close very smoothly. They have a natural leather pull tab which is such a fun detail. It’s great seeing them patina over time. The continuous strap design is genius. The straps themselves are incredibly comfortable...even fully stuffed and required no breaking in. Plus, it has the pigskin lining. You don’t realize how impractical a fabric lining is for an everyday bag until you are introduced to this concept. Finally, the high quality leather means that it will only get better and develop character with time. I started with the chestnut, which is definitely my favorite color. Then, I acquired the black because...practical. I just received the tobacco...because I’m just in love with this bag.
