Rosario

27 L : enough for a week's worth of clothes, books and the accessories that follow you. A set of slit and zippered pockets keeps the contents tidy while you fill and empty the bag. If you regularly pack for longer, the ASUNCION large leather holdall is the roomier cut of the same idea.

Yes. A padded compartment holds your laptop, closed by a strap and velcro fastener, so your technology travels protected in the middle of your clothes.

Both, as the day demands. The Rosario offers a double leather handle reinforced with stainless steel buckles and a removable, adjustable shoulder strap. Switching from one carry to the other takes a few seconds.

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.

Yes, that is what the 5 protective rivets under the bag are for. They keep the leather off the surface, so a station platform, a pavement or a gravel path will not mark the base.

If you haul wet sports gear or need a bag you can throw around without a thought, a technical weekender in modern fabric such as the Sandqvist Stream Weekender will serve you better. The Rosario is 1.6 kg of full-grain leather that earns marks and character as it ages: it looks better at year five than on day one.
