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.

Built to Carry. Made for Comfort.
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.

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.

A Vintage Heritage Built with Noble & Natural Materials
Discover Ottawa, our little vintage bag straight from the frozen plains of Canada. Compact and practical, this canvas shoulder bag is above all inspired by vintage, giving it a unique and timeless look. With it around your neck, you'll stand out from the crowd and feel like the old trappers who set out to discover the vast snowy expanses.
Such expeditions require sturdy bags, so that it can easily withstand the assaults of time and Mother Nature. The Ottawa is designed with the utmost care and attention to detail and is made from waxed cotton canvas and full grain leather. The combination of these two noble, durable and resistant materials gives your mini shoulder bag an exceptional feel, comfort and optimal resistance. You will be able to travel with a light mind, knowing that your essentials are well protected.
Discover a Versatile, Unisex & Trendy Shoulder Bag
With this vintage cross body bag, we wanted to offer you an everyday accessory that is more compact and lighter than other vintage bags. Indeed, we thought it was important to offer you a bag for everyday use, that you can take with you everywhere, almost without feeling it. Ottawa is perfect for your daily activities, and can hold and optimally protect your wallet, keys, smartphone, external battery and other accessories.
These bags are often monochrome and a bit boring. We wanted it to be not only a practical object, but also a real vintage fashion statement. Offering 3 colours reminiscent of the natural elements (khaki, grey and army green), you can easily match it with all your outfits. Its minimalist and uncluttered design makes it a perfect ally for both men and women, and is popular with many profiles: students, bikers, photographers, fashion addicts, urban lovers. I’m sure it would suit you well!
Opt for a Robust & Handy Bag and Stop Wasting your Time
This lightweight bag is extremely robust. The waxed cotton canvas, once used in boat sail design, offers incredible technical performance, including strength, breathability and waterproofing, thanks to the application of wax. It is a retro shoulder bag that is passed on, not changed each season.
On the storage side, it offers an external slit pocket to slip your accessories in and keep them close at hand and a set of zipped and slit pockets, all protected by a zip and a flap with magnetic closure. Plus, if you want to carry your pouch differently, the adjustable and removable strap gives you maximum flexibility.

Note: Full-grain leather is a natural material, which may show small marks, veins or scratches inherent to the material. Scratches can be easily removed by rubbing them lightly with a cloth soaked in vegetable oil. The colour of the leather may vary slightly from batch to batch.
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 backpack is packed by hand in small batches and ships within 1 to 3 business days. As soon as your order leaves, you receive an email with a tracking link so you can follow it to your door.
