Kabuto X Thierry Henry BACKPACK

Is there a more perfect match than a premium French brand and the ultimate premium Frenchman, Thierry Henry? We don’t think so. It makes perfect sense that Kabuto would team up with Henry to create a beautiful backpack as part of their travel collection. It is designed for people who travel frequently but still care about style, practicality and thoughtful detail. The collection is also limited, giving owners a sense of exclusivity.

The materials are clearly high quality. Prime micro nylon and grained leather give the bag a glossy, polished finish. On the outside, there are two side pockets with zip closures for items you want close to hand. Near the top sits a discreet pocket for small essentials, although the lack of a secure closure might make you think twice about storing anything too valuable there. The buckles, zips and branding feature silver coloured metal details that add a refined touch.

The adjustable shoulder straps are soft and flexible with generous padding, although if the bag is heavily packed you might want a little extra support for all day wear. The main compartment closes with a strong magnetic fastening, and two additional magnets hold the flap in place for quick access without exposing the contents. A leather drawstring adds compression and another layer of security.

Inside, there is a dedicated laptop compartment (up to 14 inches) with a Velcro strap to keep it secure, as well as a smaller zipped pocket for valuables. The black lining looks smart, though it can make it harder to find items at the bottom. The reinforced base, made from grained leather, helps the bag stand upright unaided and should last for years.

While the fabric is water resistant rather than fully waterproof, and comfort may vary depending on fit, the Kabuto x Thierry Henry Backpack strikes an excellent balance between elegance and practicality. It is ideal for travellers who value craftsmanship, versatility and timeless French style. RRP $299
