APPIA XL is made from Italian Lavata calfskin, a soft and supple leather with a natural texture and subtly patinated appearance. The leather is vegetable-tanned and has a naturally textured surface that gives the backpack its distinctive character.
Small variations in texture and colour are natural characteristics of genuine leather. Over time, the leather becomes softer and develops a unique patina.
The main compartment provides enough room for a laptop up to 15.6 inches, A4 documents and other everyday essentials. An interior zipped pocket helps keep smaller items organised.
Three exterior pockets make it easy to access the things you use most often. One of them has a zip closure and is suitable for smaller belongings that you want to keep securely stored.
The main compartment closes with a drawstring and is then covered by a leather flap secured with straps. This traditional construction gives the backpack its distinctive vintage character.
The adjustable shoulder straps make it easy to find a comfortable fit, while the top handle allows you to carry the backpack by hand when needed. The soft leather gives the backpack a natural, supple shape.
APPIA XL is well suited to work, university and everyday city use. The space for a laptop up to 15.6 inches and A4 documents allows you to carry the essentials, while the additional pockets help keep everything organised.

Your leather handbag or backpack is made from high-quality Italian leather, which is a noble and living material – over time, it develops a beautiful, natural patina. With a few simple and regular treatments, you can maintain its softness, shine, and unique appearance for many years.
Thanks to these simple treatments, your Italian leather bag will gain character with each passing year, developing a unique patina that will make it truly personal and timeless.
Our leather products are made locally in Italy, as well as in Madagascar, India, Pakistan and Bhutan. We carefully select our partners to ensure high quality and fair value for our products. They are mainly craftsmen, running small workshops employing 2-3 people, usually from the family. This is important to us, because the craft is perfected and passed down from generation to generation, which guarantees the high quality of the manufactured products.
We strictly adhere to the principles of fair trade, focusing on transparency, honesty and respect in business relations, e.g. by paying fair prices or supporting - where necessary - the local community in difficult times.

Pelle Lavata, also known as Washed Leather, is natural leather that undergoes a special washing and tumbling process after tanning. This treatment gives the leather an exceptionally soft and supple feel, along with a distinctive, slightly aged appearance and natural creasing. It is widely used for bags and backpacks, where its comfort and relaxed vintage character make it particularly appealing.
Lavata leather, also known as Washed Leather, is made by washing already tanned and dyed natural leather in large industrial drums with water and softening agents. The intensive tumbling process softens the leather fibres, partially lightens the surface and creates its characteristic natural creases. The result is exceptionally soft, supple leather with a naturally aged vintage appearance from the very beginning.
A Lavata leather bag feels wonderfully soft and supple from the very first use, making it comfortable to carry every day. Its naturally worn-in look, with distinctive creases and subtle variations in the leather, gives it a unique vintage character that only becomes richer with time. It’s a great choice for anyone who appreciates genuine materials, everyday comfort and leather that develops more character as it ages.
You have 2 weeks to return the bag without giving a reason.
