Alpin Mini Backpack

Navy on a backpack is practical without being boring. The Alpin Mini in deep blue — 19 x 9.5 x 23 cm — is serious enough for a commute and casual enough for a weekend walk. The two removable straps connect through hooks that let you change the carry mode in seconds: both straps for a traditional backpack, one for a shoulder sling, none for hand-carry by the leather top handle. The zip arcs across the top and opens wide. Inside fits a phone, wallet, keys, and a notebook. The navy canvas is nearly black in low light and distinctly blue in daylight — the kind of color that doesn’t call attention to itself but rewards a second look. This is the Alpin for the traveler, the commuter, the person who needs one bag that does multiple jobs.
