Can-do canvas.
Red House’s Travel Backpack is a bigger cousin to their original Waxed Canvas Backpack, sharing the same water-resistent exterior, antique brass rivets and adjustable straps sourced from Horween leather company. We love the updated fold-down top with that leather strap down the front—it’s got an oh-so-very old-school outdoors vibe, like something the first generation of hikers to our national parks might have carried, but would fit right in on a busy Brooklyn sidewalk. It comes with an exterior laptop sleeve (handy for paper notebooks, passports and magazines, too) and 1 interior pocket to keep you tidy inside. In other words, feel free to take it anywhere! This is bag that’s meant to travel.
