The leather feels rich and solid in hand. After a full week of use, it already feels like a bag I will keep for years.

Every Hector and Leopold backpack is cut to sit close to your back, with adjustable shoulder straps so the weight settles evenly and stays comfortable all day.
The exact height, width, depth and laptop sleeve size of each model are listed in the description below. Most of our laptop backpacks take a standard laptop in a padded sleeve, with room left for a charger, a notebook and the essentials of your day.
Measure your laptop diagonally and compare it with the sleeve size before you choose, especially if you carry a larger 16 or 17 inch model.
If your backpack is not what you expected, our 30-day money-back guarantee covers you. Write to us and we will make it right.

Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean and free of dust. For marks, use a slightly damp cloth and let the bag dry naturally, never near direct heat.
Feed the leather with a conditioner once or twice a year to keep it supple. Between uses, fill it lightly with paper and keep it in its dust bag so it holds its shape and colour.

Every panel is cut by hand from the hide, the traditional way. Steady hands, sharp knives and years at the table guide each line before a single stitch goes in.

Each backpack starts with hides we pick ourselves: thick, honest leather that ages well and takes on a richer patina with every journey. No shortcuts, just material that has proven itself over time.
