Know before you buy
Yes, the Lennon Backpack features a dedicated interior sleeve specifically designed to accommodate laptops up to 15 inches. The sleeve provides a structured space to keep your device protected from other items in the main compartment.
The bag uses a combination of a drawstring cinch and a fold-over lid secured by leather straps and brass snaps. While this system is highly secure, it requires unbuckling the straps to fully open the main interior.
The bag is constructed from a robust 18 oz. Oxford weave cotton canvas, which is naturally durable and dense. While it offers good protection against light elements, it is not waterproof, so you may want to treat the canvas if you frequently travel in heavy rain.
The three exterior snap pockets are designed for quick-access items like a smartphone, wallet, or passport. For added convenience, there is also an interior key clip to ensure your keys remain easy to locate.
Because this is vegetable-tanned, full-grain leather, it will develop a unique patina over time. We recommend occasionally using a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out.
The Lennon Backpack features adjustable straps that allow you to customize the fit to your frame. The weight distribution is balanced, though it is a structured leather and canvas bag, so it will feel more substantial than a lightweight nylon pack.
