Leather backpack purses are back on trend this year. From pop divas to fashionistas, some of the most stylish women have been spotted sporting leather sling bags as well as 1990s style small backpacks. And who can blame them–leather backpack purses offer a sophisticated, everyday alternative to the schoolhouse favorite while providing ample space and easy organization for everything from essentials to high-tech electronics. Plus, a versatile backpack purse keeps hands free from holding a bag (or constantly pushing it back into place). What’s not to love?
With styles ranging from cute to rugged, practical to posh, you may be struggling to find the perfect bag to complement your daily style. If you are, don’t worry. Here are 10 of the best leather backpack purses on the market right now.
