oh wow silver backpack!! wow! I ordered Cammello, I am besotted by that color. The bucket bag that I have in it is just pure love for how it patinas and to be honest I've always wanted a simple classic cross body tan bag that patinas too. I was waiting to see which brand or which vintage shop would supply it. So it was easy to get it in Cammello too.

I have just purchased the large backpack in black saffiano from barneys and am wondering if any of u has experience with the saffiano backpack? At first I was going to wait for the next relaunch to get the brandy/avion combo but when I saw the bag on barneys, I also took into consideration that saffiano leather maybe more durable and the return policy of barneys... I hope the size won't be too large!!! (excited!)

Hi! I have the silver saffiano backpack! I haven't carried it around too much yet, but from my experience it's very durable, so I don't worry about scratches or things like that. I also don't imagine it softening up too much, so it'll defjnitely hold its shape. It's great to carry around, it's just a little tough tightening the strings and getting the backpack to close due to the stiffness. I'm hoping it will get easier with wear, but I don't see it softening up too much. I'm rough with bags so it's kinda nice to be able to toss it around haha (as bad as that sounds!)

Finally got around to writing a review and taking some pictures (sorry for the poor quality). The review ended up being kind of long, so if anyone is interested in my ramblings, I posted it here:

Here is how the backpack looks on someone who is barely 5 feet tall...

Good review! By chance do you carry your laptop in the bag?

Mine is the mini! I've always leaned towards smaller bags so it's a good size for me :) I don't tend to carry a lot with me but I can fit quite a bit in there - a wristlet, water bottle, a small pouch and few other things. The tie stays secure, so I don't worry too much about it!

I've been thinking a lot about getting the mini backpack (if I can ever get my hands on it). It's just so attractive in Cammello/Rosa! I have a couple of questions though.

Does the tanned leather become soft and slouchy after a while, particularly the base? I feel like it might look too structured on me, I want something more relaxed.

How does the flap close exactly? Is it magnetic? Does it stay secure if you have too many things inside?
