Unmissable accessory: the leather backpack

Resistant and stylish, it has an extra gear. The leather backpack is an unmissable travel companion for those who love practicality and elegance.

For those who follow fashion, but do not want to give up comfort at work, at school or in their spare time, the leather backpack is a capacious accessory, versatile and suitable for all ages. There is none: life is consumed with a backpack on your shoulder!

For her

The women’s leather backpack is very topical and has definitely passed the shoulder bag. Black or brown for the classic woman, colored or metal for those who want to be glam and loves to amaze, decorated or fantasy for the most ironic and cheeky woman. In its different styles and colors, and in different designs, the leather backpack has an extra gear and an answer for all tastes, even for the most demanding women, who never travel in lightness!

For him

Even the man does not give up the practicality and style of the backpack in leather, to carry by hand or on the shoulder pc, tablet, documents and what is needed to make the routine work. The convenience of the pockets, internal or external, depending on the various models, offers the possibility to distribute the content without going crazy during the search for keys or smartphone.

For everyone

In the many versions available today – with padded shoulder straps, vintage effect or more minimal design, fantasy or with visible stitching – the leather backpack is a “cool” accessory that can make everyone happy. The backpack gives the possibility to have free hands, to run when you are about to lose the train or the subway, to hug the friend met on the street, to casually shake the hand to the boss when leaving the office, to bring with you everything you need without feeling “unbalanced” and above all of being fashion, giving yourself a tone, in every day. And it is the leather that gives that touch of refinement!

The secrets of leather processing

Leather processing is a fascinating and very ancient practice, dating back to prehistoric times, when man used this material to cover and cope with everyday needs. Sumerians, Greeks, Etruscans and Romans, many peoples have left us evidence of how the leather was a central part of their life and how these civilizations worked and used it in various ways.

Leather, a life partner

We can therefore say that leather has always been a precious companion of human life. It is no coincidence that it is a sought-after and widely used raw material for making garments, shoes, bags and other accessories, even jewelery. But what are the secrets to obtain high quality items, able to really make the difference?

The secret for quality items

In order to obtain high-quality objects that last over time, two things are essential:

  • the choice
  • the cut of the leather

After evaluating the selection and cutting of the leather, it will be subjected to conservation processes through dehydration, with the aim of keeping it in good condition, in fact, excellent condition until the tanning operations are started. Preservation can take place in various ways: by drying in air on stretched skins, salting with denatured sea salt, pickling by immersion and fulling in a bath saturated with denatured sea salt to which sulfuric acid is added.

From tanning to final processing

With the term tanning we mean the steps to which the skins of animals are subjected to make them rot-proof and transform them into leather.

Before moving on to the actual tanning operations, which serve to give the leather greater resistance to wear, maximum water resistance and maximum porosity to air and water vapor (sweat), we proceed to the preparation, washing and soaking of the skin (a treatment to eliminate foreign substances). The following steps in the processing of leather are: depilation, calcination and splitting up to trimming, deliming, degreasing, pickling and washing. These are all essential steps to achieve the desired thickness and thus create high-quality leather objects.
