Antique 1920s French Cowhide Tornister

Antique 1920s Leather Backpack

This unique leather backpack likely once belonged to a schoolchild and was used to carry books in the early 20th century. The front flap is crafted from durable cowhide, and the bag is equipped with two sturdy shoulder straps, allowing it to be worn comfortably as a backpack.

Its timeless and practical design makes it just as useful today — ideal for carrying a tablet, books, or everyday essentials. Whether used or displayed, it’s a beautiful example of early 20th-century craftsmanship.

After more than a century, the backpack remains in good vintage condition with visible signs of wear consistent with its age. The rich patina it has developed over time adds to its rugged, authentic character. The leather has been cleaned and conditioned with leather grease for preservation.
