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.
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.

Discover the Ultimate Retro Shoulder Sling Bag
Opt for a Faithful and Vintage Adventure Companion for Everyday Use
We are pleased to introduce Phoenix, our handmade all-purpose shoulder sling bag with a strong character and a minimalist, vintage design. Like many of the canvas messenger bags in our collection, we have opted for a relatively simple design, but still with a touch of retro style so you can take it everywhere with you, while enjoying a unique and timeless look.
It is meticulously crafted, using mainly waxed cotton canvas, which is naturally resistant, durable and water-repellent, and full grain leather, the best cowhide on the market. The use of these noble materials guarantees an exceptional quality, a unique and natural touch, an optimal resistance in time, and of course, a vintage and original style.
A Robust & Fashionable Shoulder Bag that Adapts to Everything
The advantage of offering a bag with a clean, minimalist design is that it is suitable for all activities, adapting easily. You can carry it by hand or on your shoulder thanks to an adjustable strap. It adapts in a flash to your daily needs.
What's more, it's available in 4 sober and natural colours, ideal for combining with your different outfits without looking out of place. Don't worry, it fits both men and women and is surprisingly well adapted to all types of profile, from the biker looking for a bag for his bike (you have a strap to attach it to the frame), to the adventurer looking for a vintage bag for his exploration, to the studious student looking for a reliable bag to pass his year.
Stop Loosing your Time with a Versatile & Organised Sling Bag
Phoenix is not only a trendy small sling bag, but also a vintage heritage, full of meaning and history, such as the fabulous cross-country journeys of the Pony Express riders, who carried very similar bags with them. Your life is just as dynamic, and to ensure maximum comfort, you need a lightweight, durable shoulder bag. With such a bag, you will gain comfort and peace of mind when travelling.
This shoulder sling bag offers :
- a back strap to attach the bag to a motorbike or bicycle frame,
- an adjustable shoulder strap to change style in a snap,
- an external slit pocket for those essentials you want to keep close to hand.
- a flap protecting the main opening, that closes with two magnetic clips. The flap covers a zip to optimally protect your belongings.
- A set of pockets and internal storage compartments to help you organise your bag and save you a lot of time on a daily basis.

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.
Not happy with your order for any reason? Returns and exchanges are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Write to us through our contact page and we will guide you personally through every step.
