Seventeen inches tall and six deep makes this a genuine backpack rather than a fashion gesture, with the capacity for a laptop, a change of clothes and a day's worth of everything else. Monogram Shadow embosses the pattern into soft black calfskin, so the bag reads as plain dark leather until the light finds the motif. Soft construction means it flattens against the back when lightly loaded instead of standing off it. Padded straps and a wide top opening do the practical work. A front zip pocket handles the small items that otherwise disappear into a deep main compartment. A backpack in embossed leather is the rare piece that works for a flight and a meeting on the same day. Maison de Beaubigonne authenticity guaranteed.
