Retro canvas bags combine dense canvas and a vintage look with well-organized compartments for work and school. The collection has three types: crossbody bags, from the small Zenitho Edge for a phone to the 18-liter Penephira RETRO for a laptop up to 16 inches; canvas backpacks of 25 and 28 liters for 16-inch laptops, Platform Pro and The Satin Ultimate Max; and business bags, like the expandable Studio Pro and Desktop, and the 35-liter The Cuban Messel, which carries as a backpack, a shoulder bag or a briefcase. On most of them the fabric repels water.

Canvas crossbody, backpack or business bag?

A canvas crossbody suits everyday use and school: BONANZA Pro 2.0 holds a 14 to 15 inch laptop, and the 6.2-liter Klapa Pro works for the office and a city walk. A canvas backpack spreads the load over both shoulders: the 28-liter The Satin Ultimate Max has a strap that attaches to a suitcase and works as a carry-on, and the 25-liter Platform Pro has three large compartments and a padded top handle. A canvas business bag looks neat in a meeting: the 15-liter Studio Pro and Desktop hold a laptop up to 16 inches and weigh 400 g (0.9 lb).

What to check in a retro canvas bag

Start with the fabric: Penephira RETRO uses 16 oz canvas, and most bags here are high-density canvas with a water-repellent finish. Then check the zippers: BONANZA Pro has heavy-duty #8 and #10 zippers, and Wingate has metal zippers. If you like mixed materials, Tropicana Prime combines genuine Crazy Horse leather and canvas, with vintage-style metal buckles, and holds a laptop up to 14 inches.

How to care for a canvas bag

Brush off dry dirt with a soft brush, and clean a stain with a damp cloth and a little mild soap. Don't soak the bag or put it in the dryer, and after cleaning leave it open to air-dry. On a bag that combines leather, like Tropicana Prime, wipe the leather parts with a dry cloth only.
