Alpha Leather Backpack

I have been eyeing this bag for weeks and had an opportunity to touch it & feel it in store prior to ordering it. (I never buy the display bags & it was the only one they had.). It arrived today and it’s even better than what I remembered. First the leather is NOT stiff. Stiff implies no movement. This is a thinner leather that will soften further with use. It’s flexible & pliable and shockingly lightweight. Second the hardware. It’s a lighter antique gold that appears silver in the sunlight. I wasn’t expecting this; I shy away from gold hardware bags but really liked this I overlooked it. Pleasantly surprised by this. Third, the hardware to adjust the backpack straps is gorgeous. You can’t see it in the photos so I am providing a pics. . Fourth, being petite I am conscious of backpack sizes and this is perfect. Straps adjust easily & stay w/o slipping. I thought it would be weird using the shoulder strap w/the pack straps hanging but nope. Convenient w/o being tacky. Fifth, I have serious back problems & can’t really use backpack type anything…this is comfortable for me. Much lighter than my LV tote bag for sure holding the same items. This bag goes with just about everything outside ‘professional’ attire: jeans to sweats, shorts to dresses. Love the front zip pocket. Dust nag included.
