BRASS TACKS Leathercraft Waxed Canvas Vintage Backpack – Brown (400x340x190mm)

BRASS TACKS Leathercraft waxed canvas vintage backpack – Brown (400 x 340 x 190 mm)

This is a proper no-nonsense daypack — it looks smart and can take a fair bit of punishment. Made from high-density waxed cotton canvas with 2.5mm crazy horse top‑layer cowhide trim, it softens and develops character rather than showing every scuff like an eyesore. If you want a bag that’ll shrug off rain, daily commuting and a weekend away without faffing about, this is one to have on your radar.

Key features

• Material and build: hard-wearing, water-resistant waxed canvas with thick crazy horse leather trim and brass-effect hardware — built to last and age gracefully.
• Laptop-ready: padded sleeve fits most 13″–15.6″ laptops (MacBook, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus and similar).
• Practical pockets: large main compartment, padded laptop pocket, two internal open pouches for phone or coins, plus an external pocket tucked under the front flap for quick-access bits like chargers or your phone.
• Dimensions and weight: 400 x 340 x 190 mm (approx. 12.6 x 13.4 x 7.5 inches); weighs around 1 kg — compact but roomy enough for your everyday kit.
• Hardware and lining: rust-resistant fittings and a tear-proof inner lining for proper everyday durability.

Who is this for?

Perfect for commuters, students, travellers and anyone who appreciates a vintage look without losing modern practicality. Need to carry a laptop, notebook, jumper and water bottle? This bag copes with that and still leaves room for a few extras. Heading off on a short trip or a day hike? It won’t weigh you down and it won’t look out of place.

Service, care and a few tips

• Service promise: 30 days no-questions-asked returns, 12 months of complimentary repair/maintenance and a 10-year shoulder‑strap replacement guarantee — handy peace of mind if anything goes awry.
• Care: wipe clean with a damp cloth and reproof the waxed canvas now and then to keep the water resistance in good nick. Don’t machine wash the leather trims.
• Practical note: the canvas is a bit stiff at first and softens with use, developing a pleasant patina. That’s part of the charm, though some prefer a cleaner look straightaway.

People often ask whether it’s too bulky or if organisation is a problem — it’s surprisingly compact when not packed to the rafters, yet still roomy enough for the essentials. The finish and fittings give it a proper vintage feel while keeping the useful bits modern and sensible. All told, a solid choice if you want a tough, stylish, laptop-capable rucksack that’s reliable, straightforward and a bit characterful.
