Vegetable Tanned Leather

The Essenza is made exclusively with vegetable tanned leather from Tuscany. Vegetable tanned leather is extremely durable and has a magnificent patina that looks even better as it ages. Vegetable tanned leather takes three times longer to produce than synthetic, petroleum-based materials, but it will last much longer and is more sustainable for the environment.

Our leather is sourced from tanneries in Tuscany that commit to the highest standards of craftsmanship and sustainability, including:

  • The exclusive use of Tuscan leather, which does not contain toxic substances like azo-dyes, nickel, or chrome VI.
  • A commitment to recycling unused substances that remain after the tanning process.
  • The promotion of the circular economy, in which no animal is killed for its skin. All rawhides are byproducts of food production and would otherwise be disposed.

  • Width: 11.8 in

The interior laptop compartment will hold up to a 14" Macbook Pro.

Backpack Features

Vegetable Tanned Leather Means Unmatched Quality

Our products are made exclusively with vegetable tanned leather from Tuscany. Vegetable tanned leather is extremely durable and has a magnificent patina that looks even better as it ages. Vegetable tanned leather takes three times longer to produce than synthetic, petroleum-based materials, but it will last much longer and is more sustainable for the environment.

A Practical But Refined Interior

Every time you open your backpack, the cotton-lined interior will remind you of its luxurious and durable build quality. And while the cotton lining gives the backpack a truly refined look, the separate laptop compartment is nothing but practical: It's padded on the outside to protect your tech from bumps and has a velvety soft leather interior to protect from scratches.

Designed For Your Body

This Essenza is designed with your health and body in mind. The padded back section provides extra support to maximize comfort when worn. Along with the closable front straps, the padded back reinforces good spinal posture. We've also designed this backpack with easily adjustable side straps so you'll find the perfect fit no matter your body type.

What We're About

  • Supporting Old World Craftsmanship

    When you buy from Lupo and Monti you are supporting the small artisanal factories in Italy from which we source our products. We're proud to support these small-batch producers and preserve the art of Italian craftsmanship, truly the finest quality in the world.

  • Investing In Sustainable Production

    Our leather is sourced from tanneries in Tuscany that commit to the highest sustainability standards in the industry. Our tanneries exclusively use Tuscan leather free of toxins like ado-dyes and nickel, and they recycle unused substances from the production process.
