A washed denim backpack covered in metal studs, with a tassel zipper pull and a front zipper pocket
The Thessaly is a studded denim backpack for women, made from faded, washed fabric that looks lived in from the first day. Rows of metal studs cover the front, top and sides.
Two panels of large pyramid studs frame the main zipper, and a front pocket with small diamond studs sits below. A fabric tassel hangs from the zipper pull.
Wear it on both shoulders, or hold it by the loop handle on top when you step into a shop or a cafe.

A Closer Look
Faded Wash
Light streaks run through the dark fabric, as on a favorite pair of old jeans. No two bags fade exactly the same way.
Two Blues
Denim blue is a mid indigo with a streaked wash. Light blue is faded and bright, like a well worn pair of jeans.
Pyramid Studs
Squared metal pyramids sit tightly side by side in a dark gunmetal finish with a rough, worn look.
Tassel Pull
A twisted fabric cord hangs from the zipper, so the pull is simple to find and easy to grab.
Studs on Every Side
The studs change size across the bag. Tiny round ones dot the top and the dome, big pyramids fill two panels up front, and diamonds spread over the pocket.
Around the lower sides, rows of pyramids form a band that protects the corners and adds weight to the design.
| Where | Stud Style | Look |
|---|---|---|
| Top and dome | Tiny round studs | Fine, dense texture |
| Front panels | Large pyramid studs | The main focus |
| Front pocket | Small diamond studs | A light, scattered pattern |
| Lower sides | Medium pyramid studs | A rugged band |
Pockets and Inside
The front pocket zips shut and holds a phone, keys or a card holder. A second zipper pocket on the side keeps small items within reach.
Against your back, a zipper pocket holds a transit pass or cash. Inside, a brown fabric lining covers the main space.
Where Everything Goes
| Space | Where | Good For |
|---|---|---|
| Front zipper pocket | Across the front | Phone, keys and lip balm |
| Side zipper pocket | On the side panel | Earbuds and a card holder |
| Back zipper pocket | Against your back | Transit pass and cash |
| Main compartment | Under the top zipper | Books, a tablet and a light jacket |
Straps and Handle
Each strap is made from the same washed denim as the bag. A slide buckle sets the length, and metal rings join the straps to the base.
A fabric loop on top works as a handle, so you can carry the bag in your hand or hang it on a hook.
| Carry | How | Good For |
|---|---|---|
| Both shoulders | An arm through each strap | Long days and crowded trains |
| One shoulder | One strap over the shoulder | Quick trips and short walks |
| By the loop | Top handle in your hand | Short stops and cafes |
About the Fabric
The Thessaly is made from denim fabric with a washed finish. The pale streaks come from the wash, so each bag looks a little different.
Denim softens as you wear it, and the studs pick up a slightly worn look over time.
