- Catherine Y.

This is far & away the best I've ever owned. The combination of quality, style & function are unmatched. Bottom line: This is an heirloom quality piece that is punching wayyyy above its price. I've had much more expensive bags that aren't half as good as this one. If you're on the fence, get it.

SIZE GUIDE

DETAILS

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.

WHAT IS ‘TRADITIONAL RETAIL’ PRICE?

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.

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!

Exceptional quality. I love it...

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.
