Today’s post is part of my on-going partnership with Korchmar.
As summer comes to an end, this means you might be heading back to school or back to work after a long vacation. Having the proper bag to accompany you on a daily basis is crucial. I’ve long been a fan of a backpack as a daily carry. It’s functional, comfortable, and incredibly easy to carry for long periods of time (after all, it’s hands-free!).
The word ‘backpack’ may evoke thoughts of cheap, colorful canvas bags that were jammed full of books in middle school—but if you finesse the design and construct if from a refined leather then, all of a sudden, you have a sophisticated bag that’s stylish enough for the classroom and classy enough for the office. My good friends at Korchmar have the perfect solution for a sturdy, grown-up backpack—the Houston.
The Houston is handcrafted from a premium vegetable-tanned leather with a natural leather interior which means it will age extremely well. It has two exterior front pockets to accommodate small personal items such as a cell phone and laptop charger. The interior holds up to a 15” laptop and also has a built-in iPad sleeve. The design is clean-cut and built for your daily professional life, yet slightly rugged and ready for heavy use. It really mixes the best of both worlds.
I’ve really enjoyed styling the Houston backpack over the past two years. The color is tasteful and timeless which pairs well with almost any outfit. You can check out a couple of my other looks with the backpack here and here.
Thanks to Korchmar for sponsoring this post and providing me with the Houston backpack. All styling is my own!
