I bought the City Backpack for my husband as a work and commute bag last month. The backpack is beautifully designed and crafted. I would recommend this product and brand.
The leather on this backpack is beautiful and great quality. It fits everything you need for work. It was the only leather backpack I found that had a usable, well sized water bottle pocket on the outside. The one thing I wish it had is a pen holder section.
Best backpack I’ve ever had. Exclusive and great quality. However I don’t like ups who delivered the parcel
Day 1 wearing the bag to work. Amazing experience this far.
The Branded Leather Backpack served me well on my first extended trip since COVID. I used it as a carry on and was able to stuff it with lots of items I could not fit in my suitcase! The backpack is well-made and the leather is good quality. Also the customer service was polite and helpful.
love the backpack I ordered! 😍😍High quality! highly recommend!
So far, I really love the backpack. It is sturdy, classic, and high quality. The backpack arrived to my front door in 7 days after purchase. Super fast! I am very pleased with the bag and am planning to order again.
The city backpack is just beautiful. Perfectly made and great quality. I can’t wait to use it. This is now my 4th order with Mahi and in total I have 7 bags from them. I’m a very happy customer. The price/quality is excellent and their customer service is fantastic. Any problems are dealt with very fast and Mahi takes care of its customers. Something most big brands could learn from. Do not hesitate. I’ll be back again soon, thank you Mahi!

The perfect material for backpacks
Our Leather
Full-grain leather is the ideal material for a leather backpack, combining exceptional strength with lasting flexibility. Its dense natural fibres help withstand the demands of daily use, while the waxed and oiled finish resists everyday wear and develops a rich patina over time.
Available in a range of colours and finishes, our leather is chosen for its durability, character, and ability to age beautifully. Whether you're looking for a leather backpack for work, school, college, travel, or everyday carry, every MAHI backpack is handcrafted from premium leather and designed to develop character with use. Sometimes referred to as a leather rucksack or leather knapsack, a quality leather backpack offers a timeless alternative to synthetic materials and looks better with every year of ownership.
Personalization & Gifting
Custom Leather Backpacks
Every MAHI leather backpack can be personalized with initials, a name, or a custom logo — using precision laser engraving or cotton embroidery in black, grey, brown or white thread. Whether you're buying a personalized leather backpack for yourself or as a gift, the result is a piece that's uniquely yours from day one.
For corporate or bulk orders, we work with businesses, schools, and hospitality brands to create custom branded leather backpacks at scale, with competitive pricing on orders of 10 or more. Get in touch to discuss your requirements.
Every handmade leather backpack arrives gift-ready in a cotton dust cover, with free worldwide shipping and duties covered at checkout.
FAQs - Leather Backpacks
-
Full grain leather is the highest quality cut of leather — it retains the natural grain of the hide, making it stronger and more durable than corrected or bonded leather. It also develops a patina over time, meaning the more you use your MAHI leather backpack, the better it looks. All MAHI backpacks are made from 100% full grain or top grain leather, responsibly sourced as a byproduct of local farming.
-
All MAHI backpacks are designed to carry a laptop. The Classic Backpack 3.0 and City Backpack both feature a dedicated padded compartment for laptops up to 16". The Roll Top Backpack, Soho Backpack, and compact Yale Backpack comfortably fit laptops up to 15" alongside documents and daily essentials, while the Classic Backpack offers space for laptops up to 13" in a clean, minimalist silhouette.
-
Yes. Every MAHI leather backpack can be personalized with initials, a name, or a custom logo. Choose between precision laser engraving or cotton embroidery in black, grey, brown or white thread. Personalized orders are non-returnable but covered by our full one-year warranty.
-
All MAHI backpacks are designed as unisex styles. The Classic Backpack 3.0 in Black Nubuck and the Soho in crocodile-embossed leather are particularly popular with women. The Yale is a compact option popular as a small leather backpack or ladies leather backpack for lighter everyday use. All styles are available personalized, making them popular as gifts.
-
Full grain leather is naturally water-resistant — surface moisture beads and runs off rather than soaking in immediately. Our cowhide styles offer even stronger water repellency. That said, leather is not fully waterproof and we recommend treating your backpack with a leather conditioner if regularly exposed to heavy rain.
-
For work, we recommend the Classic Backpack 3.0 or the City Backpack. The 3.0 offers the most storage with 23L capacity, a padded 16" laptop compartment, waterproof bottle pockets, and a trolley strap for travel days. The City is slightly more compact at 20L with a secure double-buckle flap closure — ideal for a clean, professional look on the commute.
-
Yes. We work with businesses, hospitality brands, and educational institutions on bulk orders with competitive pricing. All corporate orders can be custom branded with a logo via laser engraving or embroidery. Get in touch to discuss your requirements.
-
All MAHI backpacks are handmade to order and ship worldwide, fully tracked and insured. USA and Canada: 4-5 business days. UK and Europe: 4-5 business days. Australasia: 5-7 business days. Duties and tariffs are covered — the price at checkout is the final price.
