3 Luxury Backpacks to Know This Fall

The kids are back at school, the lunchboxes are packed, and the morning rush is officially underway. Now that they’re sorted, how about turning some attention to your own everyday carry? Because when it comes to backpacks, there’s no reason to stop at the schoolyard.

The humble backpack has had plenty of time to grow up, too. From Celine’s oversized take to Louis Vuitton’s cool-girl hardware and Loro Piana’s quiet approach, these luxury designs bring supple leather, considered construction, and elevated details to an everyday essential.

Celine - Big Backpack

Celine isn’t exactly playing coy with the name. The Big Backpack is, well, big – and that’s precisely the point. Introduced by Michel Rider for Spring-Summer 2026, this elongated design is crafted from supple lambskin and measures an impressive 13.8 × 19.7 × 7.1 inches. At these proportions, the Big Backpack is not exactly a subtle addition, particularly on petite frames. A flap front fastening is adorned with the signature Triomphe, while a drawstring closure underneath keeps the main compartment secure. Inside, there’s one roomy compartment to accommodate a laptop, while three exterior pockets provide easy-access storage, each secured with a press-stud fastening.

With hands-free styling as its forte, the Big Backpack comes with two adjustable leather shoulder straps, with a drop ranging from 13.4 to 16.5 inches. A top handle with a 3.5-inch drop also makes it easy to grab and go when you’d rather carry it by hand. Choose from four neutral shades – Black, Chestnut, White Cotton, and Soft Tan, each paired with gold-tone hardware. Celine’s Big Backpack retails for $3,750.

Louis Vuitton - Off Duty Vibe Backpack

Louis Vuitton’s Off Duty Backpack brings a little downtown attitude to the backpack category. Part hobo, part backpack, this style from the LV Vibe collection is crafted from supple lamb leather, with only a hint of Monogram at the top handle. Instead, the spotlight falls on the jewel-inspired silver-tone chain, punctuated by the signature LV Circle. Measuring 9.4 × 9.8 × 3.9 inches, the open top secures with a magnetic fastening, while the interior features a flat pocket and room for your smartphone, earphones, compact wallet, sunglasses, keys, and lipstick.

It’s not just a backpack, either. The adjustable strap lets you transform the Off Duty into a chain hobo. Offered exclusively in Black lamb leather, the Off Duty Backpack retails for $3,950.

Loro Piana - Extra Pocket Backpack L23.5

Loro Piana takes its coveted Extra Pocket Pouch in a hands-free direction. The Extra Pocket Backpack reworks the iconic style into a compact, square silhouette that tapers toward the base, crafted from lightly hammered calfskin with a naturally soft, subtly textured finish. Measuring 9.1 × 8.3 × 3.1 inches, it’s finished with a flat leather top handle and adjustable shoulder straps, while the double-slider zip closure is adorned with My Charms for a signature touch.

Available in a sophisticated lineup of neutrals, the Extra Pocket Backpack comes in Whisper White, Warm Mastic, Dark Chocolate, Azuki Beans, and Blue Navy, paired with Sun Gold or Antique Silver hardware depending on the colorway. Loro Piana’s Extra Pocket Backpack retails for $3,900.
