Everyone loves wearing a backpack. It is a convenient way for both men and women to carry around lots of stuff. The problem is, once you graduate college it hard to walk out of your house with a beat-up old JanSport and still respect yourself. If you want to continue rocking a backpack well past studentdom I would suggest buying a leather backpack.

A leather backpack is a fashionable alternative to the student backpack. You can still store everything you need and more on your back but you won’t get guff from your friends and co-workers for doing so. In fact, you will probably get compliments for looking so good.

Now the only thing you need to decide is which leather backpack is right for you. I personally like the Claire Chase Guardian Computer Back Pack. It has a very large main pocket to hold your big ticket items (laptop, change of clothes) and then a lot of smaller pockets for pens, aspirin, and other handy things. The beautiful red leather and antique brass look great.

I also like the Claire Chase Uptown Back Pack, it looks ravishing in grey. The heavy duty fastening loop is a nice touch.
