If you are a student and carry lots of heavy books and files or if you are just one of those people who ends up carrying around almost everything with them except for the kitchen sink, then we may have the perfect solution for you. Wearing a messenger style or across the body bag filled with heavy items will undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on your joints and the uneven distribution of this pressure could lead to short-term discomfort and over a longer term, unbalance your posture thus causing further back problems. Always holding a briefcase style or grab bag in the same hand could have a similar effect. However, if you wear a backpack the weight will be evenly distributed, seeming lighter and sparing you much discomfort. Over the past decade rucksacks have primarily been associated with schoolchildren and tourists and have not often graced the shoulders of the fashion conscious but now is the timed for their big comeback. Backpacks, especially those made from leather, have been spotted on catwalks and on the backs of celebrities all over the world.

The fantastic thing about leather backpacks is that they are extremely practical as well as being stylish and on-trend. They are comfortable to wear, leave you hands free and are very durable. At Just4Leather we have a wide range of backpacks in different sizes, styles and colours to suit your personality and the demands of your day to day life.

Why not check out these unisex leather backpacks (£139.99) from the Rowallan of Scotland Baltimore Collection, new to Just4Leather last week. They are made from thick, oil-tanned Buffalo hide leather and are cavernous making them great for day trips, shopping, going to the gym or even work. Despite this they are extremely lightweight. These backpacks also come with a padded bag, perfect for protecting a netbook or iPad.



These brightly coloured backpacks from Auchamo (£112.99) are made from fine Italian leather and so would look great with smart-casual outfits. They come in green, red and tan are perfect for injecting some colour into your summer wardrobe.  Pair them with contrasting coloured shoes, tops and bottoms for that fashionable colour block look.



If you are looking for something a bit different, why not go for a Mywalit backpack? Their sleek, contemporary style makes them stand out amongst all the other leather backpacks available on the market. Mywalit backpacks (£149) are made from soft, black nappa leather with a flash of bright colour underneath the messenger-style flap. They feature countless zipped pockets and so are ideal for keeping organised.
