Latvia 27L Waxed Canvas Backpack – Made for Full Days and Unplanned Weekends Some days simply need more than a slim commuter bag. The Latvia Waxed Canvas Backpack offers 27 litres of space for a laptop, books, lunch, an extra layer and all the smaller things that tend to accumulate along the way. There is enough room for a busy workday, a long day on campus or a light overnight setup, without the technical appearance of a hiking pack. Its character comes from the materials. The waxed cotton canvas has a textured, slightly weathered finish, while the Crazy Horse leather flap and antiqued brass hardware give the bag its unmistakable heritage look. It feels substantial rather than delicate, and the surface will gradually pick up the marks and variations that make each bag more personal. Under the leather flap, a drawstring opening gives you a wide, flexible main compartment. The magnetic buckle fastenings keep access quicker than their traditional appearance suggests—useful when you are reaching for a charger on the train or adding a jacket at the last minute. Latvia is the kind of backpack that looks better once life has started leaving a few marks on it. 27 Litres That Give You Room to Change Plans Latvia sits between a daily backpack and a compact travel rucksack. Its 27L capacity gives you noticeably more freedom than smaller models such as the Dublin or the Calgary, especially when your day involves more than a computer and a few essentials. The main compartment can hold your work setup alongside a sweatshirt, headphones, books, a wash bag or a small change of clothes. The drawstring top also makes packing less rigid: tighten it for an ordinary day, or loosen it when an extra layer needs to come home with you. At 1.3 kg, this is not an ultralight backpack. The weight comes from its generous dimensions, dense canvas, leather detailing and metal hardware. In return, Latvia has a reassuring, durable feel that suits its rugged design. Storage That Keeps the Useful Things Within Reach A large compartment is helpful, but only if smaller items do not disappear at the bottom. Latvia combines its roomy interior with several exterior pockets, making it easier to separate the things you use repeatedly during the day. The zipped front pocket works well for keys, cables, a wallet or travel documents. Two side cargo pockets can hold a compact bottle, umbrella or small accessories, while the rear anti-theft pocket keeps valuables close to your back in stations, airports and crowded streets. Inside, the padded laptop section helps separate your computer from the rest of your belongings, with additional organiser pockets for smaller pieces of tech and everyday essentials. Why Latvia Stands Out More room without the technical look: the 27L format handles busy days and short trips while keeping a classic rucksack silhouette. Traditional outside, convenient underneath: the leather flap and vintage-style hardware conceal practical magnetic buckle fastenings. Frequently used items stay organised: a zipped front pocket, two side pockets and a discreet rear pocket reduce rummaging. Your computer has its own place: the padded interior laptop section helps keep work or study equipment separate. The materials develop character: waxed canvas and Crazy Horse leather naturally soften, mark and gain a richer patina with use.

Yes, particularly if a compact daypack often feels too small. Latvia has room for work or study equipment alongside a jacket, lunch, books, headphones and other daily essentials. Bear in mind that its 1.3 kg construction feels more substantial than a lightweight nylon commuter bag. + Is Latvia larger than Dublin or Calgary? Yes. Latvia has a 27L capacity, compared with 18L for Dublin and 16L for Calgary. The extra space is useful for carrying additional clothing, books, tech accessories or a compact overnight setup. + Does Latvia have a laptop compartment? Yes. The interior includes a dedicated padded laptop section. Because laptop dimensions vary even between devices with the same screen size, compare your computer measurements with the backpack’s overall dimensions of 45 × 40 × 15 cm before ordering. + Is the backpack waterproof? The waxed canvas is water-repellent and can handle light rain or occasional splashes. Latvia is not seam-sealed or fully waterproof, so electronics and other sensitive items should be placed inside an additional waterproof sleeve during heavy or prolonged rain. + Can Latvia be used for hiking? Latvia works for countryside walks, relaxed day trips and light outdoor use. It is not designed as a technical hiking backpack, however, and does not offer the ventilation, waist support or load-adjustment features normally found on dedicated trekking equipment. For a more hiking-inspired canvas model, consider Uppsala. + Can the Latvia backpack be personalised? Personalisation is available on selected variants. When offered, the option will appear directly on the product page and can be selected before adding the backpack to your cart. + What warranty, return and payment options are available? Latvia is covered by a 2-year durability warranty and a 30-day return period. Payment may also be divided into 3 or 4 instalments when the corresponding option is available at checkout.
