The "Paula" rolltop backpack is a modern homage to the classic courier backpack, which originated in the 1990s – developed back then for bicycle messengers who required maximum flexibility, security, and storage space. Today, this iconic rolltop style is not only functional but also stylish – especially when it's made from high-quality, robust buffalo leather like the "Paula." This gives the backpack not only durability but also a natural elegance that makes it suitable for everyday use and even socially acceptable.
Whether as a companion to the office, university, or on day trips – "Paula" is a versatile leather backpack for men and women that impresses with both style and functionality. The integrated 15-inch laptop compartment (25 x 33 cm) protects your tech, while two zippered exterior pockets and an additional interior compartment keep things organized. The hidden zippered compartment on the back is especially practical – ideal for valuables that need to be safely stowed away while on the go.
Thanks to the expandable roll-top closure, the backpack adapts flexibly to your everyday needs: When fully extended, it offers approximately 16 liters of storage space – enough room for a laptop, notebook, water bottle, and more. The elaborately quilted back with elegant diamond stitching not only ensures a stylish look but also comfortable carrying.
Crafted from natural buffalo leather, each "Paula" backpack becomes truly unique over time. The distinctive patina that develops with daily use tells the story of your life—of adventures, travels, and moments that have shaped you.
»Paula« is not only a practical companion, but a statement for timeless style, sustainable quality and the beauty of life.

Leather is a natural material and may have small imperfections. Each leather product is also patinated by hand. This complex process makes our products unmistakable. No bag can be exactly like another. Small color deviations are unfortunately unavoidable and not a sign of poor quality.
