Backpacks

Casa Lopez leather backpacks for women have a soft body with no internal frame: they take the shape of what is inside instead of imposing one. Argentine cowhide worked by hand in Buenos Aires.

The single-strap format can be worn on the back or across the chest, and swung round to the front without taking it off. The zip runs diagonally down the side, opening the whole compartment in one pass, and a zipped front pocket holds whatever is needed on the move. The strap is wide and adjustable, with a buckle and a clasp.

With no frame inside, the leather works freely: it softens at the folds, records use, and ends up with a drape no new backpack has.
