Don’t let the name fool you: there isn’t a thing “bitter” about this stylish backpack. As regular Bag Snob readers may know, I’m all about a roomy backpack for fall. I think it’s a stylish complement to casual wardrobe options and a fabulous juxtaposition to a well-cut suit. As Tomas Maier designed this, he clearly thought of luxury and utility as key components. I love the smooth all-around leather of the deconstructed backpack–trimmed ever-so gently with the brand’s trademark intrecciato woven leather along the pocket flaps and lined in cotton. This backpack is also lightweight and has a global appeal to it that’ll resonate with stylish gents from L.A. to London.
