Buying Guide
Choosing a Travel Backpack
It can be more difficult than you might think to find a backpack that can fit all these items and deliver the comfort that you require.
You may need a laptop sleeve that’s big enough to accommodate a 15” laptop and securely protect it from all the other items in your backpack.
As travel bags tend to be placed on the ground and slung around frequently, it needs to be particularly robust if you expect this will happen to yours.
More and more people are now working remotely, which means many of us are now taking our “offices” with us wherever we go.
This is one of the reasons we decided to look for the best travel backpacks for women. If you’re no longer working at a permanent desk, you’ll most likely be carrying a wealth of items around with you such as books and chargers.
Backpacks don’t tend to be incredibly stylish, with comfort and functionality often being regarded as equally as visual appeal.
Some people prioritise practicality over style. Your bag needs to fit all your essentials and not be too difficult to carry around with you.
In this guide, we’ll look at a wide range of backpacks including soft leather options, mini backpacks and bags that are also ideal for the gym.
Each backpack in the list is ideal for remote travel and work.

Von Baer was founded because I wanted a unique and high-quality laptop bag for myself, without paying for an unreasonably overpriced designer brand. I've spent over 500 hours testing 1,000s of leather products over 11 years to help you get a better product.
I'm proud of the luxurious leather goods we've created since 2014, and I'm sure you'll love them too. Read more about our story here.
We strive for the highest editorial standards, and to only publish accurate information on our website.
How Is Von Baer Leather Different?
Not all leather is the same.
Since 2015, we at Von Baer have dedicated ourselves to high-quality real leather.
Here's a 30-second summary of how to choose a better leather product:
- Leather comes in different grades: full-grain, top-grain, and split/bonded - which represent how much of the original product is used (less product used = cheaper).
- Full-grain is the best grade of leather you can buy: exceptionally durable, developing an elegant patina, and having that beautiful real leather smell.
- Cheaper grades are less durable, age poorly, and don't have that authentic scent.
- Leather is processed through "tanning", which makes it durable and water-resistant.
- The two main methods for this are "vegetable-tanning" and "chrome-tanning".
- Chrome tanning uses harsh chemicals that are bad for the environment and produce a worse quality leather.
- Vegetable tanning is the best method, being more eco-friendly, and producing leather with a better patina and scent.
That's why here at Von Baer, we only use full-grain vegetable-tanned Italian leather, sourced from the finest tanneries across Tuscany, Italy.
It ages beautifully over time, developing a unique patina, making it more durable and luxurious than lower-quality leather.
It's also why we developed the leather standards trademark Cuoio Superiore (meaning "superior leather" in Italian).
