        @mclaincausey I can't think of any leather totes that convert into backpacks.

        Cote & Ciel did the Moser in black leather, but it seems to be sold out in most places. It's a circular backpack whose straps can be stowed or detached to use as a tote. Havn have one in Melbourne, though I suspect it would be cheaper to source in the US.

        Hardgraft do the 2Unfold, which can be converted between a tote and backpack and various other styles of carry. I had one a while back, and they're really a laptop sleeve more than anything else.

        Kika NY have a few packs that look a bit like a tote but aren't a tote. The Road Tripper is currently on sale.

            Nice one @Graeme re:Frank Clegg. I’ve always wondered how their pieces were in regards to fit, finish, and quality.

              I've seen a couple of pieces, and they're very well-made but on the heavier side. I think that the English Backpack would last a long time (I'd hope so at the price), and could probably be repaired if it got damaged.

                  She got the Portland plus a laptop sleeve for under $200 on a President’s Day sale. She wouldn’t let me spoil her with a fancy option but I think this will be great. Thanks for the assists folks.

                    Carryology are doing a collaboration with GORUCK that's made from a custom 15 oz Sashiko denim.

                    GRXC2

                    There's a write-up of the project at Carryology, and it's worth a read because it is completely insane in a good way.

                    The bags go live at 2 pm Eastern Time on Thursday.

                      Not leather but Bellroy do the following which looks nice

                      https://bellroy.com/products/tokyo-totepack?color=midnight&gclid=CjwKCAiAl9efBhAkEiwA4TorilYBbgUNwn4N4Vb26dkRKDMbUONI29G6R0f6BVjIkCLTQgP17fEdYRoCzEAQAvD_BwE&material=baida_ripstop&shipping_to_country=GB&size=15in&store_currency=80525dfa80b1c4d080ba7d2e9291ff1dd1c8b183#slide-6

                      I bought my Mrs a leather Tumi backpack which she really liked and used for years. Pretty sure it had a laptop sleeve. Might be worth checking to see if they do a 2 way tote.

                      I ain't got time to bleed.

                        @Graeme I can’t find the price on the Goruck collaboration. Any chance I’m missing it or you know what it’s going for?

                          @goosehd I could not see it on design article I read the other day.

                          On the basis the last Carryology x GR1 (Kaidan - X-Pac) I bought was circa $350 incl shipping and their collaborations seem to be getting more expensive (sure the revolting Trakke one was £400 to £500), I am anticipating that this one will be at least $450 for the GR1. It looks very nice and I am sorely tempted, but I will likely tap out if too expensive!

                          I ain't got time to bleed.

                            If the price is too high those are my thoughts as well…

                              Shame. I was genuinely excited by it, then it got to the bit in the article about the patch being made by a samurai armourer and I was like (a) Whilst cool, I could live without it and it will go straight in a box, rendering it pointless: and (b) that will massively fuck the price!

                                I have been eying the GR1 for some time. But this is kind of insane... Let's see what happens tomorrow once it drops.

                                  I have a feeling it’s going to sell out quickly…and I’m contemplating setting an alarm for it.

                                    I'm curious to see what it's going to cost. But the drop is at 6 am on Friday morning here in Australia, and I'll be on a train until 7:30 with no reception, so it'll probably be sold out by the time I surface.

                                      Gonna be upwards of $700 right?

                                      Sounds cool but sounds really heavy too.

                                      Think it, be it.

                                        Really cool collab and details. Sounds $$$. I was guessing higher than 700$ @mclaincausey No more functionality than a regular gr1 and arguably less durable? Is there a secondary market?
                                        Description was a fun read.

                                          Yeah they seem to be setting the stage for eye watering pricing in the copy. I think you’re right the sky is the limit on the price.

                                            $695 for the 21L plus another $80-100 for shipping. I backed out.
