Back to School Week: The Daypack by Scholar MFG

So what if we've traded in classrooms for cubicles? There's nothing like a new backpack to kick off fall. A snazzy new Jansport just isn't going to cut it now that we're adults, though, so opt instead for something leather and luxe, like the Daypack by new label Scholar MFG. The sleek, minimalist design features a slim profile and all-leather pockets for your digital gadgets.

The Daypack is handmade in L.A. of premium Italian leather and solid brass Swiss hardware, and it's now on pre-order for November shipping. At $720, it's clearly an investment piece, so keep this backpack off the cafeteria floor.
