Heritage Waxed Canvas Steamer Backpack No. 2
$359.00
In 1854, Louis Vuitton opened his luggage business, and introduced the steamer bag in 1901 as a little piece of luggage meant to be carried inside larger trunks. Later, the US-American Railroad used it as a mailbag from the 1920s-1930s. Wells Fargo Express agents also used it to transport cash and other financial instruments.
In 2015, we reinvented it in as a comfortable, versatile, vintage inspired backpack for the next century and beyond. In 2020, we re-imagined it once more to carry forward is striking head-turning looks while morphing it into a highly-functional rucksack / backpack statement piece for today's adventurer. Lightweight (less than 4 lbs) with an easy-opening clasp is hidden underneath the authentically styled top flap.
Our signature 100% full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather contrasts at the base and top reminiscent of the original material used for the historic leather mail bag.

Better than I thought it would be, and we all know that’s rare. Glad I bought it.

It’s a bit bigger than I thought, which is great! Using it as a bag for grad school, with plans to use on my European travel plans after school!

I purchased the green color and use it everyday to house my paperwork for work. I can put my wallet, electronics and even goodies like my water and soda in it. It has been a workhorse for my. The craftsmanship is exceptional. Truly exceptional in every detail. One of my patient's eyed it and told me how much he liked it and envied it's craftsmanship. I told him that he didn't know the half of it and showed him the backpack up close and personal -- all the features I liked. He already knew the leather was very high quality. He loved the green canvas too. So, this is such an incredible find. I'd purchase another in a heartbeat. I thought the blue stripped lining would bug me but didn't. 3 zippered compartments, a sueded compartment, sueded straps, and, the contour of the straps is unique and just right. You've outdone yourself with this. You got this really really right.

I purchased this right after you offered it in green. I needed a bag that had waxed canvas because the spring rains were coming and I wanted it for work. So this bag stylishly fit the bill. At that time, you didn't have a video that showed all the extra details of this bag. Let me tell you, it is a functional work of art. This bag is exceptionally well crafted. The leather is high quality. The handles are substantial in their feel. The 3 zippered compartments are just in the right places. The sueded compartment is a very nice touch and the straps -- they are sculptured (it really makes a difference) and sueded too. I wasn't sure about the striped material on the inside but it really doesn't bother me once in hand. The bag feels good against my body. I purchased it to carry what I need for work: files, paperwork , wallet, phones and cording. It's perfect for that. I can even stash my lunch in it and still have a bunch of room. I've received compliments on it. Even one of my patient told me he eyed it since the day I walked on the unit with it on, and commented how well made it was. Well...then I showed him how well it really was made. He was all gaga and is coming to your site to get one. I'm very happy with this purchase.

First of all, this company has the most fabulous customer service of any I know...top to bottom. I've purchased several pieces, and all are of the finest craftsmanship you can imagine, with elegant touches that make it even more special. This particular backpack is GORGEOUS. It's masculine, but not so much that a woman wouldn't want to carry it, and it's roomy and perfect for overnight packing without needing a huge bag. I'm a forever customer now because of how I've been treated AND because the quality of the product and the people is top notch. Thank you!

I bought this bag to carry my laptop and a couple clothes for a trip to the Netherlands. I wanted to go light and easy so no bag check or dealing with a roller. Had a lot of comments on the beautiful bag.
