Gift for Daughter
My youngest daughter was going back to grad school and loves things from indigenous artists. I thought this expressed her uniqueness. The pattern and colors on the backpack are unique. It was also very sturdy to be able to hold books. She uses it and makes it an integral part of her everyday use of it.
The Perfect Travel Bag
This stylish, roomy bag is perfect for those long domestic or international trips. It’s sturdy, but really well designed from both an aesthetically and functional perspective. The straps are comfortable, the interior has lots of pockets for glasses, tablets and other necessities... and yet its not too big, making it the perfect “dualie� - great for both formal events and other activities where a less dressy bag is more appropriate!

Very well designed -- good quality leather. Great size for small person
The "Mysterious Traveler" backpack is well designed to use as a small brief case or day pack. And it's *just* the right size to fit comfortably--and be snug against my back. I'm 5'4" and often a backpack will be too big to fit well, so this is an important point for someone small. Adjustable straps make it fine for someone larger. The "currant" color leather is very nice, tho I found the leather a bit harsh to the touch. Novica's excellent customer service said it's top quality leather that would soften with use. But that I could exchange it for the black leather version. I did request the exchange, and the black leather is soft from the start. A new design element in the black version is a bright plaid lining that--compared to the original dark lining--makes it easy to find things in the pack. This sturdy backpack will serve me well for a long time. Thank you João Carlos Silva!
