The leather looks textured in one photo and smooth in the others — which is right?

The Shanghai backpack is soft full-grain leather. It is a naturally supple hide, so the way it catches the light varies between photographs, and it softens further with use.

How many outside pockets does it have, and do they have zips?

There are three pockets besides the main compartment: an open pocket on the front, a second front pocket that zips, and a zipped pocket on the back panel.

Can it be worn crossbody?

It can be worn across the body — the shoulder strap extends to a maximum of 80.00 cm.

Can I wear it over one shoulder rather than as a backpack?

Yes. The strap has a zip that lets you convert it, so the Shanghai can be carried on one shoulder or worn as a backpack.

How wide is the opening at the top of the bag?

The zipped opening across the top of the Shanghai backpack measures approximately 26 cm.

What are the internal dimensions of the Shanghai backpack?

Inside, the Shanghai backpack measures 22.00 cm long, 9.00 cm wide and 19.00 cm high.

If the main compartment has a zip at the top, what holds the two sides together when I wear it as a backpack?

The main compartment opens from the top, between the two handles, and that opening sits against your back when the bag is worn — so it stays closed against you. The zip on the rear panel is an external pocket only and does not reach the main compartment.

Where is the Shanghai backpack made, and is there a logo on the outside?

The Shanghai backpack is made in Tuscany from soft full-grain leather. There is no logo stamped into the leather itself — you will only find it on the zip puller and inside the bag.
