If the leather jacket is the ultimate fashion style statement, then the RŌMFRĒ EDC Backpack is the leather jacket of backpacks. With a full-grain leather exterior (and quilted details), the EDC Backpack has a unique distinction – It’s quintessentially classy enough to go with any outfit, be carried anywhere, and pretty much hold anything you consider an everyday essential.

Most people don’t know this but backpacks are a part of the ‘EDC’ category too. The abbreviation stands for the term ‘EveryDay Carry’, and while most people think that the category just covers tools, wallets, and other pocketable items, the backpack is a classic example of something you carry every day. Where the EDC Backpack differs from other backpacks, however, is in its material and visual appeal, which makes it perfect for work and leisure, indoor and outdoor, and professional and casual use simultaneously.
The backpack’s 100% leather build is perhaps its most visually eye-catching feature. Everything from the bag itself to the straps, handles, and pockets are made from top-notch full-grain leather, available in one of three colors – Cocoa, Black, or Saddle. Aside from the three colors, you’ve also got two sizes to choose from – a Medium with a 17L carrying capacity, and a Large which gives you 22L of storage. Both sizes, however, offer the same classic aesthetic, along with all the features, details, and pockets you’d need to carry your life with you.
The exterior of the bags features quilted panels on both the front and back that give the EDC Backpack its memorable aesthetic. On the front, the backpack has two outer zippers for stashing belongings (with an extra hidden zipper pocket inside the lower compartment), along with side pockets for bottles, D-rings for hanging carabiners and your other gadgets/accessories, and an extra-secure pocket at the back, right between the adjustable leather shoulder straps.
Two zips offer access to a rather roomy interior, lined with a super-durable polyester fabric. A dedicated zip gives you padded storage for your laptop up to 16″ in size, while zips on the front let you access the spacious main compartment of the bag that’s outfitted with pockets, mesh-lined pouches, and enough space to store clothes, gadgets, accessories, and anything else you’d need to carry around with you.
The EDC Backpack’s appeal is in the fact that it’s designed to complement pretty much every part of your daily routine. Unlike fabric bags that look too disheveled for work, or professional-looking work backpacks that don’t translate well to our outdoor travel aesthetic (after all, that monogrammed company logo won’t look good in your holiday pictures), the EDC Backpack fits in and simultaneously stands out pretty much anywhere. The wonderful leather fabric is perfect for work, looks exceptionally great for travel, and sets you apart as a pretty classy dude if you’re using it as a creative for carrying your camera and whatnot. It’s travel-ready, thanks to adjustable shoulder straps, and a sleeve to slide your luggage handle through. It’s also built to last, relying on high-quality materials, durable YKK zippers, and a double-reinforced base that lets you rest your backpack down on any surface without worrying about your bag getting damaged… and the best part? That gorgeous full-grain leather ages as you do, gathering a wonderful patina that gives your EDC Backpack a distinct character that’s unique to just your backpack.
The RŌMFRĒ EDC Backpack starts at a highly discounted $199 (you won’t find a 100% full-grain leather backpack anywhere for that amount) that’s standard across both Medium and Large sizes. The backpacks are supported by a lifetime warranty on craftsmanship and manufacturing defects (the makers will repair/replace your bag for free), and if you’re in for the full-leather lifestyle, $300 gets you the complete RŌMFRĒ travel bundle, which also includes a minimalist leather bifold wallet, and a dopp bag for your essentials.
