A rounded leather backpack with crossbody strap, a curved front zipper and a studded tag
The Lisbet is a women’s backpack cut from genuine cow leather with a soft litchi grain. Its dome top and rounded handle give it a neat, compact outline.
A curved zipper pocket arcs across the front, and a small leather tag with nine silver tone studs hangs from its pull. A side slip pocket holds a bottle or a lip product.
Put it on your back, hold the handle, or clip on the long strap and swing it across your body.
It is a little over 11 inches wide and nearly 14 inches tall. That is enough for a tablet, a book and a small pouch.

Backpack, Handbag or Crossbody
The Lisbet changes with your day. Each carry uses a different part of the bag.
| Carry | How | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Backpack | Both padded straps over your shoulders | Walking, stairs and crowded trains |
| Handbag | The rounded top handle in your hand | Short trips and quick stops |
| Crossbody | The long strap clipped to the side rings | Shopping, sightseeing and errands |

Solid Black Cowhide
The Lisbet comes in black only. The leather has a deep, even color, and the pebbled grain gives it a soft sheen.
Black Leather
The body, handle and strap tabs all share one color, so the bag looks clean from every side.
Silver Tone Details
The zipper pulls, studs and slide buckles are bright silver tone. They stand out against the black.
Outfits That Suit Black
| Wear It With | The Effect |
|---|---|
| Oatmeal knits and blue jeans | A soft, casual combination. |
| Camel and cream | Warm layers with a dark base. |
| Gray and charcoal | A cool, quiet palette. |
| Burgundy and plum | Deep colors that look rich together. |
| Striped tops | A graphic print grounded by black. |
The Curved Front Pocket
The zipper on the front curves like a smile. It opens a wide pocket, large enough for a phone, a wallet or a pair of sunglasses.
The studded tag hangs from the pull on a small swivel clip. It adds a bit of edge, and it makes the pull easy to find.
Straps and Handle
Two backpack straps have a leather tab at the top and a woven webbing body. A slide buckle on each one sets the length.
The long strap is flat webbing with two swivel clip hooks. They snap onto metal rings on the sides, and the strap comes off again just as easily.
A rounded handle on top is stitched to the body, so you can lift the bag with one hand.
Where Everything Goes
| Space | Where | Good For |
|---|---|---|
| Curved zipper pocket | Front | Phone, sunglasses and a card holder |
| Slip pocket | Side, open top | A lip product or a small bottle |
| Rear zipper pocket | Back panel, near the top | A transit pass or spare cash |
| Main compartment | Beneath the top opening | Tablet, book, wallet and a folding umbrella |
| Back wall pockets | Inside, against the back | Keys, earbuds and cards |
| Front wall slip pocket | Inside, facing the zipper | A phone while you commute |
Inside the Lisbet
The top zipper has two pulls that meet in the middle. Open them both and the bag spreads wide enough to see everything.
The lining is black fabric. The back wall holds two small zipper pockets, one above the other, and the front wall has a slip pocket.
A tablet slides in against the back, with a book and a folded umbrella beside it.
How the Leather Looks and Feels
Every panel is cut from genuine cowhide. The litchi grain is a fine, pebbled texture that runs over the whole bag.
The surface hides small scratches and fingerprints, and the leather softens with use. The result is a bag that looks better after a few months.
Lisbet Measurements
| Measurement | Inches | Centimeters |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 11.4 | 29 |
| Depth | 5.1 | 13 |
| Height | 13.8 | 35 |
The shape is rounded at the top and boxy at the base, so it stands up on its own when it is packed.
Handmade bags differ by a few millimeters, so allow a small margin.
