If you’re like me and you’re on the go more than you care to admit, you may not have much time to dedicate to selecting a different handbag for various parts of the day. I personally need a hardworking bag that can stash everything from essentials like my keys, wallet, and phone, plus a bunch of other things that find their way in and out of my day, from sunglasses to readers, tissues to an iPad. I’m currently eyeing Quince’s new Italian Leather Mini Convertible Backpack as the keeper of all the things I need from morning till night.
I’m already a huge fan of Quince’s linen products, including the brand’s summer dresses and luxe yet affordable sheets (I even have their affordable linen shower curtain). So, I already trust that I will get a good quality item when I branch out into their Italian leather handbags. Best of all, this three-in-one leather bag is on sale for just $120.
Italian Leather Mini Convertible Backpack
Quince
Quince is known for having high quality products at a cost-effective price point, and their leather goods are no exception. Made from top-grain Italian cow leather and lined in cotton twill, this mini backpack has an adjustable strap that allows it to be worn with one long strap over the shoulder or crossbody style, over both shoulders as a backpack, or hand-held with the long strap removed. The main compartment has two interior slip pockets ideal for a phone or glasses and one interior zippered pocket. The front zip pocket has three card holders, so it can double as a wallet, plus a key ring holder. There’s a padded tech sleeve that can accommodate up to a 9-inch tablet. It comes with a dust bag for easy, organized storage.
I’m always trying to be more ethical when I shop if possible, and one plus is that the leather used to make this bag is tanned in a LWG (Leather Working Group)-certified tannery. According to Quince, LWG is a nonprofit that promotes sustainable business practices through low energy and water usage, waste management, and the elimination of dangerous chemicals. Quince also notes that the factory that assembles the bag is Sedex-certified, meaning it aims to improve working conditions all along the supply chain. I want to carry a bag that I can feel good about, so this checks the boxes for me–I’m not surprised that the bag has five-star reviews.
Quince’s Italian leather goods are consistently highly-rated by buyers. One reviewer says, “This bag is beautiful. Simple yet perfect. Soft leather, looks great, everything about it is excellent quality. Lining, zippers, handles …just the details are superb! Everything I have [purchased] from Quince has been outstanding.”
If you’re looking for a new catch-all bag that stashes all your needs whether you’re working, traveling, or simply running errands, this luxurious yet affordable convertible mini backpack needs to be your next buy.
