Isla Leather Backpack – Women – Chestnut

The Isla Backpack by Minori Leather brings together understated elegance and the natural character of premium full-grain oil pull-up leather. Handcrafted in a rich chestnut tone, its compact silhouette makes it easy to carry while offering more capacity than a slim crossbody bag.

Isla's convertible zip-together straps offer two ways to carry. Zip the straps together to form one strap for single-strap carry, or unzip them to create two separate straps for wearing it as a traditional backpack. A top handle adds a convenient option for picking up and carrying the bag by hand.

Designed for both men and women, Isla transitions effortlessly between workdays, cafe visits, travel, and everyday city outings. Natural marks, creases, and tonal variations highlight the authenticity of the leather, which develops a distinctive patina with use.

Built for Everyday Carry

From daily commutes and cafe visits to sightseeing and weekend plans, the Isla Backpack offers an elegant balance of compact deisgn, practical capacity, and enduring leather craftmanship.

Carry with character.

Every Minori Leather bag is handcrafted from premium full-grain oil pull-up leather—the strongest and most natural part of the hide. We preserve its authentic surface rather than covering it with heavy treatments, allowing the leather’s natural grain, markings, creases, and subtle tonal variations to remain visible.

The oil pull-up finish gives the leather its rich colour and distinctive vintage character. When the leather is bent, stretched, or gently rubbed, its natural oils shift within the hide, creating lighter and darker tones. Minor surface marks can often be softened by gently rubbing them with your fingers.

With regular use, the leather gradually softens and develops a rich, individual patina. These natural changes are not imperfections; they are part of what makes every Minori Leather piece unique and ensure your bag becomes more personal with every journey.

We believe sustainability begins with creating products that are made to last. Our bags are handcrafted from durable, traceable full-grain leather sourced from an LWG Silver Certified tannery, where water-conscious effluent treatment and more responsible tanning practices help reduce environmental impact.

By combining enduring materials with skilled craftsmanship and timeless design, we create bags intended to be carried for years—not quickly replaced. As the leather ages, it develops a distinctive patina, becoming more personal with every journey.
