Sandqvist · LEATHER Lid Backpack 14"

LEATHER Lid Backpack 14": a leather flap, one buckle, and the 14-inch in 12 litres.

The LEATHER Lid Backpack 14" is a small 12-litre Sandqvist backpack weighing 540 g, in water-resistant recycled polyester ripstop, closed by a buckled leather flap. The 14-inch slides into its inner pocket. Keys and travel card go in the zipped side pocket, which you open without undoing the buckle.

Laptop

The 14-inch has its own inner pocket, held by a tab.

The laptop pocket measures 25 × 30 cm: measure yours before you choose. A press-stud tab holds it at the top, and the flap closes over it.

What fits inside

12L

12 litres that keep their shape, even half empty.

In the main compartment, press studs cinch the bag in when it's lightly loaded: it keeps a clean outline. On days you carry more, you undo them and gain room. Inside, a zipped pocket for small valuables; outside, a zipped pocket on the side.

  • A 14-inch laptop, in its inner pocket
  • Wallet, in the zipped inner pocket
  • Keys and travel card, in the side pocket

To scale

37 cm tall and 25 wide: an A4 sheet stands upright inside.

In the rain

Drizzle on the commute: it runs straight off the ripstop.

Light rain

Water-resistant fabric

Light rain and road spray run off it; in steady rain, water eventually gets through.

This bag

Proper rain

Waterproof fabric

PU-coated recycled polyester and YKK Aquaguard zips: your things stay dry in steady rain.

Heavy downpour: add the cover.

The Sandqvist rain cover, sold separately, goes over the whole backpack and packs into its own pocket: get it out before the downpour.

See the rain cover

Steady rain eventually gets through: slip anything that mustn't get wet into a pouch.

Sandqvist

Bags for the city and for the forest, designed in Stockholm since 2004.

Since 2004

Three childhood friends, Anton, Daniel and Sebastian, founded Sandqvist in Stockholm: they split their time between the city and the forest and couldn't find a bag made for both.

Carried before it's sold

Every prototype is carried by bike around Stockholm, on trains and planes and along forest paths before it makes the collection.

2-year guarantee

Sandqvist guarantees its bags for two years against manufacturing defects: zips, buckles, seams. For a bag bought from Eiken, the claim goes through us.

Eiken's take

Why we chose it
An understated 540 g city backpack that takes a 14-inch and keeps its shape even when it's not full.
Worth knowing
12 litres: the laptop and the day's essentials. For more room, the LEATHER Lid 16" holds 20.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants a small, clean-lined backpack for the office and evenings out, with leather rather than a technical look.

Baptiste, Eiken

Questions

What are the dimensions and weight of the LEATHER Lid 14"?

37 × 25 × 13 cm (height, width, depth) and 540 g empty, for 12 litres. The laptop pocket measures 25 × 30 cm.

Is the LEATHER Lid 14" waterproof?

No, it's water-resistant: the fabric copes with light rain and everyday splashes. In steady rain, water eventually gets through; a pouch for anything that mustn't get wet is all you need.

Is this the old Alva?

Yes: the LEATHER Lid Backpack 14" is the Alva, reworked and renamed.

Does the LEATHER Lid 14" fit under the seat on a plane?

Yes: at 37 × 25 × 13 cm, it fits the free small bag that goes under the seat, on Ryanair (40 × 30 × 20 cm) as on easyJet (45 × 36 × 20 cm). Size limits checked in October 2026: check your ticket.

Is there any leather?

Yes: the flap, its strap and the handle are leather, from tanneries rated Gold or Silver by the Leather Working Group. So the bag isn't vegan. A little leather balm now and then keeps the flap supple.
