Celine Backpack in Triomphe Canvas and Calfskin
$4,150, via Celine.
The new calfskin backpack from Celine Men can be likened to a lone ranger. It’s got a hardened appearance, thanks to its technical nylon straps and treated calfskin leather body. The details add to it too — its formidability can be observed via its tuc closure and functional drawstring that encircles its main, roomy compartment and the structured compartments that rest on the bag’s outer exterior.

It’s peak function and form in one, which makes a great case for the wheel-around as one’s next great travel buddy. Better yet, those looking to upgrade their current luggage offering may look forward to the new Samsonite trade-in programme, where the brand will take in pre-loved luggage of any brand, size, or condition in exchange for an exclusive 30% off the new Octolite Neo and Nuon™ collections.
