If you like the convenience of a hands-free backpack but also feel that real travel luggage is made of leather, the David King Leather 330 Top Handle XL Backpack is for you. This is a large pack ideal for both city and country travelers.
This elegant bag, measuring 11.5 inches in width, 15.5 inches in height, and 5.5 inches in thickness is a versatile gear that you can carry either by hand with its top handle, or on your back with its adjustable, padded shoulders straps. Carrying it with the top handle means quicker access to its contents, while lugging it on your back frees your hands for other things, like taking pictures.
The main compartment provides enough room for clothing and toiletries. This is closed with a leather drawstring and is covered with a top flap that is secured with a magnetic closure. Under this flap is a gusseted front pocket. Here you can keep your PDA, maybe a few books or notepads. There are also penholders in there for your pens or pencils. The flap itself also has a map pocket closed by a zipper.
The sides feature even more pockets, two on either side. An open pouch is above a gusseted zippered pocket. The open pockets can hold water bottles and packed snacks while your cell phone or iPod would be more secure in the closed ones. The back of the bag has another zippered compartment. Inside is still another closed pocket for your small valuables.
This backpack is made of full grain vacquetta cowhide leather. It has been tanned to lock in the leather’s natural oils. This results in a soft yet durable bag guaranteed not turn brittle or crack with normal use. Choice of colors is black, café, or tan.
