Hi everyone,
currently on the hunt for a leather bag.
I'd like something that I can throw my laptop, lunchbox, few paper pads in on a daily basis, but then something I can pack a few days worth of clothes etc when I go away from a weekend or a good few days abroad.
I'm sick to death of cheap, shitty backpacks which fall to bits after a few months of hard use.
I'd like a 100% leather bag, but I've been scalded before in the past when it was actually bonded leather, which just fell to bits.
After quite a natural coloured bag which will wear very well and will be super durable.
So far, I've found this and it ticks all the boxes...

Is this bag the super durable leather that I'm after? Will this wear well? Is there any manufactuers/makers I should be looking at? I'd really love to be paying for quality build, rather than brand.
My budget is around £100, but could stretch to a little more for the right bag :)
Thanks!
