The beloved Essential Backpack is back in Waxed Canvas only.
The Essential Backpack's streamlined design and smart detailing have always made it popular with customers who want a minimalist aesthetic. Previously available in ballistic nylon only, this special-request waxed canvas version is a result of overwhelming customer demand sent to HeyGary@sfbags.mom.
*Some images and the video are of the original ballistic nylon version, but only the canvas version is being offered. The features are still the same.

FEATURES
The Essential Backpack can fit devices up to 14.5" x 10". These devices can fit in your Backpack:
It’s bigger than the Sutter Slim but not too big. I can carry a couple of laptops plus a tablet in it And it’s got the two water bottle holders.
The contoured back fits your frame for ultimate comfort. The sloping top is ergonomic and looks elegant on your back.
We added dense, lightweight foam inserts on the front, back, and bottom to give the Essential Backpack structure, provide added protection, and help distribute the weight evenly.
Whether your bag is full or empty, it will maintain its sleek, minimalist profile.
The Essentials Collection is a line of lightweight bags with a streamlined design, smart detailing, and features that focus on each bag's functional essence. The minimalist design delivers high impact.
For durability, we use our custom-made abrasion- and water-resistant ballistic nylon which stays looking new for many years. It withstands prolonged sun exposure so your bag will stay looking fresh and new.
These multi-functional, everyday bags are available as a Duffel, Messenger Bag, a Backpack and Crossbody Bags in three different sizes for the 11-inch iPad Pro, iPad Mini, or iPhone.
We're proud to offer American-made gear built for the long haul. All our products are designed and made in our San Francisco workshop, where rent is high, labor expensive, and competition intense. We wouldn't go anywhere else.
