Material
Reclaimed leather exterior (recycled from cowhide offcuts), cotton and polyester lining.
Reclaimed leather begins as real cowhide, so it keeps the grain, weight and hand-feel of leather. It is lighter than a standard hide, sheds water and stains, and needs nothing more than a soft, damp cloth. Nothing goes to waste: every bag is made from leather left over after cutting.
How to Style the Mono Mini Backpack
Mono is the hands-free everyday bag that still looks dressed: it sits neatly over a blazer or a knit. Our personal shoppers pair Black with tailoring, Off White with denim and Camel with cream and olive.
