A soft cowhide backpack with a folding front panel, a lower zipper pocket and a strap for luggage handles
The Delyth is a soft leather backpack for women, cut from genuine cowhide with a pebbled grain. Its generous front panel folds into a loose, rounded shape.

A Closer Look
Brown
A warm, glowing chestnut with a soft sheen, with straps and zipper tabs in the same shade.
Black
A deep black with a fine pebbled grain that catches the light along the folds.
Burgundy Lining
Inside, a dark red fabric covers the walls and shows off what you pack.
Leather Tabs
Each zipper pull ends in a slim strip of leather, so it is easy to find and grab.
The Folding Front
The front panel is cut larger than the bag, so it drapes in soft folds. A stitched band marks where the drape ends.
Beneath it, a zipper pocket sits low on the front. A phone or a card holder slides in without opening the main space.
Inside the Main Space
The top zipper opens the front like a lid, so you can see everything at once. Burgundy fabric lines the walls.
Two zipper pockets sit on the inner front wall, and an open slip pocket lines the back wall. A tablet, a notebook and a small umbrella still fit.
| Space | Where | Good For |
|---|---|---|
| Lower front zipper pocket | Below the fold | Phone, cards and keys |
| Back zipper pocket | On the back panel | Passport and cash |
| Inner zipper pockets | Front wall inside | Earbuds and a card holder |
| Slip pocket | Back wall inside | A notebook or a compact |
| Main compartment | Under the top zipper | Tablet, umbrella and a pouch |
The Luggage Strap
A band of webbing runs across the back panel. Slide a suitcase handle through it and the Delyth rides on top of your luggage.
That frees your hands in a station or at an airport, and the bag stays upright while you walk.
Straps and Handle
The straps are wide webbing, topped with leather where they meet the bag, with a metal buckle low on each one.
A leather handle sits on top, so you can carry the Delyth in one 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 |
| By the handle | The top handle in your hand | Offices and cafes |
| On luggage | Back strap over a suitcase handle | Airports and stations |
About the Cowhide
The Delyth is made from genuine cow leather. The pebbled grain belongs to the hide, so small differences from bag to bag are normal.
Real leather softens with use and takes on a gentle glow where your hands touch it.

| Measurement | Inches | Centimeters |
|---|---|---|
| Width | About 11.4 | About 29 |
| Height | About 13.4 | About 34 |

It is a medium pack that sits between your shoulder blades and your waist.
Allow for a slight size difference between bags.
