Virtuoso Essential Backpack

Essential Backpack – The All-Rounder in Cactus Leather

If you want a backpack that works from the working day to the weekend trip without looking made for both, the Essential is the right choice. 16 litres, cactus leather, considered equipment – nothing more needed for a backpack worn every day.

Cactus leather – what that means

Like the Minimalist Backpack, the Essential is also made from cactus leather. A material derived from cactus plants that comes close to animal leather in look and feel while needing significantly less water and resources to produce. Durable, hard-wearing and a deliberate choice – without having to justify it.

What's inside

16-litre main compartment, padded laptop compartment for devices from 13 to 17 inches, front pocket for quick access. A trolley strap makes the Essential travel-compatible – attached to a suitcase handle it can be pulled comfortably through airports and stations. An additional top carry handle gives more flexibility when carrying.

Minimalist or Essential – which fits better?

The Essential is the larger model in the Virtuoso collection. Anyone who gets by with 12 litres and wants an even slimmer backpack goes for the Minimalist. Anyone who needs a little more volume and doesn't want to give up their backpack when travelling is better served by the Essential. Both share the same material and the same design language – the difference is in the everyday life they're designed for.

Who is the Essential right for?

For anyone who wants a backpack that looks good enough for the office and practical enough for everything else. The cactus leather gives the Essential an elevated, clean character that suits a considered look just as well as a relaxed outfit. Anyone who values quality and deliberate material choice and doesn't want to compromise between style and function will find the right companion here.
