The Vanguard Backpack

The Vanguard Backpack

Designed for those who lead the way, The Vanguard Backpack combines modern functionality with a sleek, refined design. Crafted from premium full-grain vegetable-tanned leather, this backpack reflects both sophistication and practicality. It is ideal for daily commutes, office use, and global travel, allowing you to carry essentials in effortless style.

Handcrafted by master artisans, the leather develops a unique patina over time, ensuring that each backpack becomes one-of-a-kind with use.

Each of our bags is made to order, requiring approximately 2 to 3 weeks to be meticulously handcrafted and shipped. If your piece is ready earlier, you’ll be notified by email.

This wait is not a delay; it is a quiet promise. A promise that your piece is not mass-produced; it is patiently shaped over 18 to 32 hours by artisans who honor tradition and precision. Every stitch is intentional; every fold, personal. Over time, your bag develops a rich patina; a graceful transformation that makes it unmistakably yours.

Our vertically integrated, local operations reduce unnecessary transit and emissions while allowing us to maintain uncompromising quality. And with limited production runs, your piece remains as rare and refined as the care behind its creation.

Care Guide: Suede

• Use a professional suede cleaner for routine maintenance.
• After cleaning, allow your piece to air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area; avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Refrain from using stiff brushes; instead, gently wipe to maintain the integrity of the nap.
• Keep away from oil, water, and harsh chemicals, as these can permanently stain or damage the material.
• Always store your suede item in a moisture-resistant, breathable space.
• Note: Suede may naturally shed or fade over time — we recommend avoiding contact with light-colored garments.

When not in use, preserve its shape and finish by storing it in Levant’s dedicated dust bag.

Care Guide: Leather

• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust or residue.
• Avoid direct sunlight and prolonged exposure to heat, which can cause drying and cracking.
• For minor marks, use a slightly damp cloth with a pH-neutral leather cleaner.
• Never submerge in water or machine wash.
• Condition every 3–6 months using a high-quality leather conditioner to nourish and protect the leather.
• Store in a cool, dry place — and when not in use, always tuck it safely inside Levant’s dedicated dust bag.
