Calfskin Drawstring Bucket Backpack – Matte Black Leather

This bucket-style backpack is built from soft, buttery calfskin leather in a deep matte black. A slouchy drawstring opening cinches with slim matching leather cords, keeping the top rim relaxed rather than boxy.

Unisex calfskin bucket backpack with a leather drawstring closure

The continuous thin leather straps thread through a centralized toggle loop, doing double duty as both the drawstring and the shoulder straps. A clean, seam-free front face lets the natural drape of the leather show through, finished with subtle vertical stitching down the side.
