How Much are Soft Leather Backpacks?
Finding the Right backpacks for You
Vintage and designer backpacks do more than carry our books, notebooks, electronic devices and other possessions to and fro. They are also a reflection of personal taste and style. Whether it’s an understated solid color — black backpacks will remain forever timeless — or it’s emblazoned with a dazzling graphic pattern or an iconic fashion house’s logo, a backpack makes a statement.
In 1908, decades before the JanSports and Eastpaks of the world materialized, Norwegian Ole Bergan crafted the first backpack, whittling and shaping a juniper branch to support a robust canvas rucksack on his back. Twenty-five years later, the patent on Bergan’s wildly convenient and functional accessory expired, and backpacks became popular with hikers, campers and other outdoor enthusiasts as other designers and companies scrambled to develop their own iterations. During the late 1930s, the first zippered backpack appeared — for students, it was a significant improvement over carrying their books with a leather belt.
Some designer backpacks are sleek and sporty, while others attract attention with flashy brass hardware and a textured exterior flap. While the innumerable handbag lovers of our modern times continue to gravitate toward iconic labels — classic bags still rule — today’s shoppers are savvier and have a wider range of shopping options. Backpacks designed by universally renowned brands such as Gucci, Dior and Burberry are similarly alluring when it comes to finding the perfect carryall.
Heavy-duty nylon backpacks or those made with polyester are likely the most common, but many alternatives can be found in canvas, leather and suede. The best backpack for you might be one that is modest in size and discreet, and thus ideal for carrying a few items. If that sounds like what you need, explore crossbody bags and messenger bags, as they’re a bit easier to access and you don’t have to remove the bag to get to its contents. Others may seek a bag that is spacious enough to fit all of the supplies for an overnight hike, in which case, a sturdy, structured backpack might be a better fit.
Whether it is for fashion, function or both, there is a backpack suited to every individual. Find yours in the extensive collection of vintage and designer backpacks on 1stDibs.
- Is Marc Jacobs leather soft?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 20, 2024Yes, Marc Jacobs's leather accessories are very soft, and the leather utilized in the brand's wide range of covetable designs is known to be of high quality. A version of the Marc Jacobs Snapshot bag is available in Saffiano leather, for example, which is the celebrated material associated with the work of Prada. Bag lovers in the know are enthusiasts of Prada's leather Galleria bag, and Prada is famous for its Saffiano leather, which is heat-treated for high durability and quality.
Marc Jacobs Snapshot bags in Saffiano leather will feel luxurious but also well-made and durable. The Incognito bag, which was created by the label's artisans by hand with 124 different pieces of smooth calf leather, debuted in 2014 and quickly became a fashion favorite with celebrities and influencers at the time.
Some of the most well-known and best-selling Marc Jacobs shoulder bags, crossbody bags, tote bags are the Tote, the Eclipse, the Traveler tote and the Snapshot. A leather Bucket bag is ideal for those in need of a casual and spacious but structured on-the-go accessory, while the plush Softshot pairs a rounded form with the iconic double-J hardware and a crossbody strap.
And although Marc Jacobs handbags are lower in price than those designed by the world's most well-known luxury purse brands, bag lovers covet his stylish quilted-leather bags, and one of the most sought-after accessories is the Carolyn Crocodile handbag, made with exotic crocodile leather and priced at around $30,000.
