This leather backpack exudes everything that vintage Ellington is known for being: fashionable, functional and timeless. With unmatched design, construction, and materials you’ll never need another bag. Roomy, expandable, accommodates all your tech and more, and super comfortable for everyday carry. Whether you're a guy or gal, this unisex backpack will become your everyday go-to for the office, meetups, airport, weekend outings and anywhere your travels take you.
Features
2 large exterior side pockets generous enough to hold large water bottles
8.5" long zipped back pocket
Large front pocket with magnet closure will accommodate our matching Ellington Medium Zippered Pouch (not included)
Widemouth drawstring opening
Navy Lycra padded section holds up to a 15" laptop
All Mission Mercantile leathers are sourced from a Gold Rated tannery certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG), an international organization that works to ensure sustainable environmental practices in the leather industry.
Luxurious mix of durable natural suede and navy faux suede lining
Beautiful product, great leather and a thoughtful design in almost all respects. I do think that 4-6 bass feet on the bottom of the back would be a useful (optional) addtion to reduce wear and tear and improve the usable lifetime -- probably to the third generation!

Where form, function, beauty and superb craftsmanship collide!
I bought the Ellington backpack for my wife’s birthday. It replaces a 5 year old department store bag that she absolutely loved, but had seen better days. I searched relentlessly to find her a suitable replacement. Mission accomplished with this bag!😉 It is a thing of beauty and she absolutely loves it. It really does combine so many practical features and has just a tinge of feminine flair for her. Her only concern is its initial stiffness making it slightly challenging to put over her shoulders. We expect the leather to soften up over time, facilitating this task. Thank you Mission Mercantile! So glad to have found you.
Hey David, thanks so much for your very complimentary & kind review! For sure (as with all high quality full grain leathers), our leathers will become more supple over time. With regular use, her Ellington Backpack will definitely soften. If she wants to speed up the process a bit, she may periodically place it in a window to soak up some of the sun's warmth. In no time she'll love the feel to her touch and how her bag is uniquely forming to her! Please let us know if you need any further insights and how we can take great care of you both!

Classy Backpack
Gorgeous leather and extremely well-made. The design makes this beautiful bag easy to carry and the pockets are easily accessible. It is designed to carry anything and everything you may need whether it is a trip to the grocery store, an overnight stay, or a day at school. I love that I have my “stuff” right at my fingertips now and no longer have to go on a search and destroy mission just to find my glasses, keys, or a pencil at the bottom of an overstuffed and poorly designed bag. I LOVE this backpack and it it so beautiful and classy looking, I can take it anywhere. I have received so many compliments about it and on top of everything else, it smells so good.

We established Mission Mercantile based on the belief that excellence is not disposable, that manufacturing techniques centuries old need not be obsolete, and that true value rests far beyond the instant gratification of how well a product looks and functions today. The true measure of quality in our committed view is how well a product looks, functions and becomes part of you … far into tomorrow.
We proudly produce all our hand-crafted wares in one of our wholly-owned North American factories that are located in Texas and the world-renowned leather region of Mexico. Our presence in both locations ensures we always have access to the absolute best materials and local expert artisans who are all committed to our Handshake Promise Guarantee. We source leather, canvas and materials known for their quality and durability from the US, Mexico, Italy and other worldwide sources.
So while most of the world is preoccupied with looking for shortcuts in an ever accelerating cycle of faster, easier, more, and repeat, our passion for distinctive leather goods and the skilled, patient craftsmanship of another era sent us looking for a longcut approach to Mission Mercantile’s materials and construction.
We use exclusively the highest quality, most durable and distinctive leather available anywhere: our leather is carefully selected by discerning eyes, hide by hide.
Your word was your bond — and a handshake was more binding than a contract. Mission Mercantile believes in that simple, reliable right-mindedness.
We are delighted to offer you free lifetime repair or replacement for issues with materials or craftsmanship. Unfortunate damage due to normal wear and tear or misuse can be repaired for a reasonable charge. Just reach out to our Shopkeeper@missionmercantile.com and we'll take great care of you.
Your purchase just not the right fit for you, so you need to return it? No worries, just send it back for a refund or exchange within 30 days from your purchase.
In this present era of faster, easier, more, and repeat, the “selfie” has surpassed self-reliance and the largely surface-deep, disposable culture that prevails leaves handshake integrity a rare commodity. In many quarters, it is effectively extinct.
But for Mission Mercantile today, tomorrow, and forever, handshake integrity is our standard. It’s in our attention to detail. It’s in our uncompromising quality control. It’s in our signature 100% full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather. It’s in every antique brass rivet. It’s in our return policy. It’s in our customer service. It’s in our pledge to always make it right.
Call it a hands-forward, hands-on commitment to excellence. Satisfaction unconditionally guaranteed.
We stand behind our products 100 percent. That's our Handshake Promise. If it’s just not the right fit for you, send it back for a refund or exchange within 30 days from your purchase.
Click hereto learn more about our Return Policy. Within 30 days of purchase you may exchange or return your product(s) purchased directly from Mission Mercantile. For all year-end holiday purchases, the return period is extended until the end of the following January. We'll send you a Return Authorization for your product(s). Due to their generous final sale discount, Last Chance clearance products are non-returnable. If the product has been damaged or altered, which includes personalization, from its original condition, we won't be able to refund or exchange your purchase.

With regular use, her Ellington Backpack will definitely soften. If she wants to speed up the process a bit, she may periodically place it in a window to soak up some of the sun's warmth. In no time she'll love the feel to her touch and how her bag is uniquely forming to her! Please let us know if you need any further insights and how we can take great care of you both!

Classy Backpack
Gorgeous leather and extremely well-made. The design makes this beautiful bag easy to carry and the pockets are easily accessible. It is designed to carry anything and everything you may need whether it is a trip to the grocery store, an overnight stay, or a day at school. I love that I have my “stuff” right at my fingertips now and no longer have to go on a search and destroy mission just to find my glasses, keys, or a pencil at the bottom of an overstuffed and poorly designed bag. I LOVE this backpack and it it so beautiful and classy looking, I can take it anywhere. I have received so many compliments about it and on top of everything else, it smells so good.

This leather backpack exudes everything that vintage Ellington is known for being: fashionable, functional and timeless. With unmatched design, construction, and materials you’ll never need another bag. Roomy, expandable, accommodates all your tech and more, and super comfortable for everyday carry. Whether you're a guy or gal, this unisex backpack will become your everyday go-to for the office, meetups, airport, weekend outings and anywhere your travels take you.
All Mission Mercantile leathers are sourced from a Gold Rated tannery certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG), an international organization that works to ensure sustainable environmental practices in the leather industry.
Luxurious mix of durable natural suede and navy faux suede lining
Beautiful product, great leather and a thoughtful design in almost all respects. I do think that 4-6 bass feet on the bottom of the back would be a useful (optional) addtion to reduce wear and tear and improve the usable lifetime -- probably to the third generation!

Where form, function, beauty and superb craftsmanship collide!
I bought the Ellington backpack for my wife’s birthday. It replaces a 5 year old department store bag that she absolutely loved, but had seen better days. I searched relentlessly to find her a suitable replacement. Mission accomplished with this bag!😉 It is a thing of beauty and she absolutely loves it. It really does combine so many practical features and has just a tinge of feminine flair for her. Her only concern is its initial stiffness making it slightly challenging to put over her shoulders. We expect the leather to soften up over time, facilitating this task. Thank you Mission Mercantile! So glad to have found you.

When we feature a ‘traditional retail’ price on our product pages, it represents the estimated price that other retailers charge for a similar-quality product that typically aren't made in their own shop.
Every Mission Mercantile product is handcrafted in our own shop, and our ‘traditional retail’ price is not reflective of our own pricing, but rather the price you should expect to pay for brands of similar quality to Mission Mercantile.
We research prices across the industry to ensure these 'traditional retail' prices represent realistic competitor pricing, but we encourage our customers to conduct their own individual research.
