Okla

A bag that borrows the codes of the old school satchel: a rounded leather flap, clip pockets, a drawstring opening hidden underneath, and carries them on the back. The Okla cuts that vintage silhouette in full grain cow leather, in two tones: a dark brown and a lighter coffee brown.

Both. The rounded curves and minimalist design sit well on many morphologies, and the unisex 35 cm x 29 cm x 16 cm format stays balanced on smaller frames as on larger ones.

Yes: the interior includes a laptop compartment that keeps your machine flat against your back, next to the zippered pocket, slip pocket and cell phone pocket. The 16 L main space does bookbag duty without complaint; if you want a dedicated schoolbag format, the DÔME black leather bookbag was made for exactly that.

Two front clip pockets keep the everyday within reach, and a secret pocket on the back, against your spine, takes the wallet and papers you would rather not advertise. Inside, a set of slit and zippered pockets splits the rest.

The material is water-resistant, not waterproof. It can withstand light rain and splashes, but avoid heavy or prolonged rain and immersion. Protect electronics separately, wipe off moisture and let the bag dry naturally away from direct heat.

Hikers. At 16 L with a vintage cut, the Okla belongs in cities, classrooms and short trips, not on technical trails. If you need a daypack that takes dust and pack weight, the Topo Designs Rover Pack Classic is the better tool.
