Taking My New Leather Backpack Everywhere

Way back in my early blog days, I told you all about a new leather backpack I found at ASOS. I’ve gotten compliments on it for the past two years. Its versatility, class and comfort have made it a working-girl staple. Though I walked and moved around a lot throughout my day then, I do so even more now with my freelance lifestyle. The faux leather straps of my old backpack have both been repaired once and are on their way to demise yet again.

Enter my newest true love, my Will Leather Goods backpack. I have to tell you that from the moment it arrived at my apartment and I took it out of the box, I have not headed out into the world without it. If you’ve been following my Insta Stories, then you know. This is quite possibly the nicest and most useful item I have ever owned besides my 10-year old Macbook and my ancient Nikon D50.

The rich real leather is durable and can handle my rough treatment. It has more pockets and zippers than I realized, so I can fit all my tiny essentials–lip gloss, phone, tampons, pens–in their own assigned spots. It’s large enough for my laptop and note books or a towel and snacks for the river. From what I can tell so far, Will Leather Goods  has in deed created leather bags “inspired by the past, designed for the present, and built for the future.”

I’m remixing an old midi dress with a blazer for a late-meeting to date-night look. I’ve been wearing these new shoes almost as much as my new backpack. Thanks to Stephanie of Drunk on Vogue for the recommendation!

Take some time and check out the rest of Will Leather‘s products. I am currently crushing on everything in the brand’s Oaxacan line. I think the duffle needs to come with me on a fun trip soon.

  2. Ugh I have loved Will leather ever since I splurged on a pair of red huraches in the store on a trip to California. I’ve been thinking I need a backpack I don’t feel utterly embarrassed carrying–may need to check this out.
