Kono Canvas Backpack – Unisex Vintage Leather-Trim Rucksack, 30x15x40cm

Kono canvas backpack – vintage unisex rucksack for travel and school

Here’s a proper no-nonsense canvas rucksack that looks the part and will cope with everyday life. Made from tough, tear-resistant canvas with genuine cowhide leather trim and solid metal fastenings, it’s built to take a bit of rough and tumble and still come out smiling. The size is spot on for commuting, weekend breaks, college or light hikes — not too big, not too small.

Key features

• The main compartment closes with a practical drawstring and is covered by a flap secured with twin metal buckle straps — traditional and reliable.
• A lightly padded laptop sleeve fits up to a 13.3-inch device and easily takes A4 books, folders or a magazine without any faffing about.
• Smart organisation: an internal zipped pocket plus two open wall pockets for cards and a wallet, a front zipped pocket for keys and small bits, and two zipped side pockets for tissues, phone or a power bank.
• A discreet rear anti-theft pocket for passport, cash or anything you’d rather keep tucked away.

Dimensions and build

Measures approximately 30 x 15 x 40 cm (L x W x H) and weighs around 700 g boxed. The canvas is skin-friendly and wipes clean with a damp cloth; for stubborn marks you can machine wash gently but check seams and leather trims first. The leather detailing gives the bag a smart, vintage look while the metal fittings keep everything secure.

Practical uses and everyday benefits

• Daily commute — keeps your bits and bobs tidy so you’re not pawing around for chargers or notebooks.
• College and school — holds A4 folders and a laptop, ideal for lectures and library runs.
• Weekend breaks and light hiking — roomy enough for a change of clothes and essentials, yet compact enough to carry all day without grumbling shoulders.
• Travel — that hidden rear pocket is a proper bonus for travel documents and valuables.

Care, comfort and a few tips

Adjust the shoulder straps to spread the load and use the top handle for short lifts. The drawstring gives quick access when you’re in a hurry and the flap keeps things covered on the move. It’s not waterproof, so if you expect heavy rain it’s worth popping on a separate rain cover. A small organiser pouch for cables and power banks is a handy extra to keep the main compartment neat.

Who this is for

Perfect for anyone after a classic-looking, dependable daypack that handles daily life and short trips. Makes a sensible gift for students, commuters, travellers or anyone who likes a vintage leather-trimmed look without any fuss.
