Of all the things I don´t need, is the KASPARI back-pack by far the coolest item I have bought.
I initially got an ad on Instagram and thought that theit bags were beautiful, I was a bit reticent with the price when I initially saw it, but then I found reviews on the internet and realized that the quality of their materials and work was indeed worth it.
I pre-ordered the green fold top and then figured out I also loved the way this brown bag looked, so I took a chance to order it as it happened to be in stock. Ever since it arrived I've been like a child with a new toy. As a leather bag it has weight to it, but the curved shoulder straps feel very comfortable, the smooth back of the bag also sits great on the back of the wearer. I am tall and, even though the bag has a large capacity, it sits just right, it doesn't look too boxy or clunky. The curved bottom with the double leather layer gives it structure, looks good, and prevents pain from friction as you carry stuff around.
For anyone buying a leather product, well, new leather will have a characteristic smell that will eventually fade, I like it, but if you're sensitive to it, just leave it in a well aired space and it will slowly start to dissipate.
The bag also comes with the info about the closing mechanism, it is tricky at first, but then the material will adapt and it'll become easier to open and close. They also warned about possible clothing stains as the bag is new, so I haven't had any incidents.
It is a solid bag and I do have the feeling it will indeed last me for life, so I believe it was indeed well worth the investment. It is spacious, the top handle feels sturdy, the shoulder straps feel strong, the bag itself is solid and yet shaped in a way that conforms to your body.
I am looking forward to see how it will age and the patina it will take. I saw photos from their social media and I think the leather looks nice as it tells the story of an object that is well used and appreciated, but that is something I will only be able to experience myself in a few years from now.
I also bought their wax, but haven't tried it yet for two reasons, my bag is brand new and the smokiness of it reminds me too much of bacon and barbecue sauce for now, so I don't know how to feel about that, yet.
They are also easily reachable in case you need more information, so my experience before and after purchasing were excellent.
I live in Belgium, so shipping within the EU from Finland took about a week and it was easily traceable.
I loved getting this bag, as you can tell by my lengthy review. If you're thinking of getting one, I hope this will be useful to you.
Well packed and as described.
Olen super tyytyväinen ja täysin ihastunut reppuuni. Kannatti odottaa ja ruskea väri on tyylikäs ❤️. Repun ryhdikkyyden vuoksi se näyttää aina hyvälle. Minulle koko on arkikäytössä riittävä. Yllätyin miten nopeasti sateen jälkeen reppu kuivui. Minun ei tarvitse enää reppua hankkia, paitsi ehkä jokin toinen Kasper tuote jossain vaiheessa.
I simply love my Large Backpack! The quality, the smell, the look and the overall feeling of this masterpiece is simply great. I know it is not cheap but compared to all the other bags I have owned; this is simply the best og them all.
