The Iside Backpack joins the iconic Iside family to bring a fresh perspective, fluid mobility, and design excellence. Here is everything you need to know about our new icon of urban craft.

I is for Iconic

The Iside Backpack is the new member of the iconic Iside family of handbags. Introduced in 2011 as an ode to urban elegance, each Iside in the collection is the epitome of Milanese refinement and whispered luxury. Comprising the distinctive Iside details, including the Iside magnetic clasp and Valextra’s black lacquered Costa edging, it is as familiar to our icon as it is unique in its answer to hands-free sophistication.

S is for Soft Millepunte

The Iside Backpack is crafted from our Millepunte Soft leather, an exceptionally malleable leather that is perfect for our backpack as it adapts to capacity while retaining its structure. The Millepunte Soft leather has allowed our artisans to create an exquisite, draped silhouette for both the mini and medium sizes, achieving a flawless appearance.



I is for Innovation

Every new addition to the Valextra vestiaire meets a unique demand and our exacting standards of excellence in craftsmanship. The Iside Backpack is immediately identifiable as Valextra thanks to its signatures, representing the exceptional attention to detail that is applied to all our leather goods. Specifically, the Iside Backpack has been engineered to sit comfortably at bespoke lengths while effortlessly accessing its contents with ease.

D is for Dynamic

The Iside family is the most dynamic of Valextra silhouettes. Immediately identifiable for its quadrilateral silhouette and rectangular clasp, its signatures imbue it with the ability to be reimagined in myriad forms. The Iside Backpack joins the Iside Medium, Micro, and Mini handbags, alongside the Iside Belt Bag and complementary small leather goods. The Iside family is always evolving to be as collectible as it is covetable.

E is for Excellence

Once we identified the demand and desire for the Iside Backpack, we set about meticulously engineering it in the Valextra atelier. From the pattern cutting to its assembly, its handpainted edges to its internal pockets, its visible and invisible stitching, each element of the Iside Backpack has been conceived and achieved with the highest level of artisanal elegance.
