BARI is a versatile backpack made from soft Italian Lavata calf leather. Its two adjustable straps allow it to be worn on the back or over the shoulder, while the top handle provides another option when carrying it by hand. The classic shape, naturally textured surface and subtle vintage finish give it a timeless character.
Measuring approximately 31 × 32 × 11 cm, it offers a practical balance between size and capacity. The main compartment fits A4 documents as well as a small laptop or tablet up to approximately 13 inches. Its flexible design makes it suitable for work, study and everyday use.
Italian Lavata calf leather is particularly soft and supple. Its special treatment creates a lightly crumpled surface and a subtle vintage finish. Small variations in grain, creases and colour are natural characteristics of genuine leather and contribute to its individual appearance.
The material is vegetable tanned using tannins of plant origin. This traditional method gives it a natural feel and allows the surface to change gradually with use.
Over time, the leather becomes softer and develops a distinctive patina. Its appearance therefore evolves naturally and gains character with regular use.
For people who are sensitive to certain tanning agents, vegetable-tanned leather may be an alternative. This method uses tannins of plant origin rather than mineral-based tanning agents.
Anyone with a known leather allergy or contact dermatitis should nevertheless take their individual sensitivity into account. Vegetable tanning does not automatically mean that the material is suitable for everyone with an allergy.
The cotton-lined main compartment provides room for documents, an agenda and a small laptop or tablet. A zipped pocket keeps valuables organised, while the open pocket is useful for smaller personal items. The front pocket and zipped back pocket provide additional storage for essentials that you want to keep separate and easy to reach.
BARI is designed primarily to be worn on the back, but the adjustable straps also make it possible to carry it comfortably over the shoulder. The leather handle on top offers a convenient alternative when you prefer to carry it by hand.
BARI is made in Italy from Lavata calf leather with vegetable tanning. Its soft feel, natural grain and subtly vintage appearance define its character. As with genuine leather, slight differences in texture and colour may occur from one piece to another.
For minor dirt, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning products, solvents and prolonged contact with water. Before applying a leather-care product, test it first on a discreet area.
Is BARI a genuine leather backpack?
Yes. It is made from 100% genuine Italian Lavata calf leather with vegetable tanning. The natural characteristics of the material may result in slight variations in grain, texture and colour.
Can it also be worn as a shoulder bag?
Yes. The adjustable straps allow it to be worn on the back or over the shoulder. The top handle can also be used when carrying it by hand.
Is vegetable-tanned leather suitable for people with allergies?
It may be an alternative for people who are sensitive to certain tanning agents. However, vegetable tanning does not guarantee suitability for everyone with a leather allergy or contact dermatitis. Anyone with a known allergy should take their individual sensitivity into account.
Can a laptop fit inside?
The main compartment can accommodate a small laptop or tablet up to approximately 13 inches. There is no separate padded laptop compartment. A suitable protective sleeve is recommended for additional protection.
Will it hold A4 documents?
Yes. The main compartment is suitable for A4 documents and papers as well as everyday essentials.
How should the leather be cared for?
Minor dirt can be removed with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh products, solvents and prolonged contact with water. Always test a care product on a discreet area before applying it to the entire surface.

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.
