The Taavi Tote | Handcrafted Leather Tote Bag
Amazing purchase and it is the perfect size for traveling.
The leather is very high quality, soft, great feel and looks amazing. I would definitely look to Steel Horse Leather for any future purchases!
Bought this for a quick trip through three European countries via plane, train, and auto and it was perfect as a carry - on. looks great, solid construction, and even has that new leather smell!
This place is amazing. I LOVE their products
The Olaf Rucksack | Vintage Leather Travel Backpack
I had an older non-leather camera bag, and recently bought a couple other items and realized how nice and durable leather is.
I went searching for leather backpacks designed to carry camera equipment, and this was one of the ones I found.
When I buy something that is not a commodity (e.g. camera, desk, leather backpack, etc.) I tend to compare features price etc. and decide.
I chose this one - it is extremely well-made, durable zippers, comfortable to carry as a backpack.
Backpack was a gift, for a work bag. Asked a few months in how things were going, and heard that “it’s awesome”. Doesn’t get much better than that.
I love the Taavi tote. It's a unique and beautiful bag, and is unlike the more commercialized tote bags found in department stores. It's also a very functional bag, and a bonus is that the leather smells heavenly!
I ordered this backpack in dark brown. I cannot be happier with my purchase. The bag is sturdy and constructed of gorgeous leather that smells amazing. This bag surpasses designer leather bags that I have purchased and is more unique. Steelhorse Leather is my new go-to for quality leather products. Love!
Pros:
-The leather is very high quality and rugged. It takes a beating on my daily commute but holds up great.
-The zippers are robust and buttery smooth to operate. The zips on my previous backpack were the first to break so this is an appreciated upgrade.
-The Vernon backpack is a compact, rectangular shape without bulges, but can still fit a surprising bulk and take a hefty load. This allows it to easily slip into confined spaces like under airplane seats without getting caught like other backpacks.
Cons:
-The straps can be uncomfortable when the backpack is heavy. They would be more comfy if wider. I'm considering buying some attachable straps to widen their shape.
-The side pockets are too small to fit items like big water bottles or umbrellas. I can't take my larger water bottle with me because of this.
-The laptop pocket, while it easily accommodates the bulkiest of 15" laptops, has a strap that's too short to secure large 15" laptops. I easily circumvented this with a small, 2 inch long piece of double-sided velcro.
Take home:
This is easily the best backpack I've ever owned. I look forward to using it for years or decades to come.
Beautiful product and great customer service!
So excited to have my purchase. Love this bag. I would definitely recommend this item.
