Description
Alberta Backpack - Symmetrical order in a city format
Compact, safe and stylish.
The Alberta is the ideal backpack for everyday urban life when large backpacks are too bulky. Its slim profile (only 8 cm deep) creates a sleek silhouette on the back, while the symmetrical arrangement of the two front pockets is not only visually appealing but also offers practical functionality. Crafted from vegetable-tanned leather, it combines the freedom of a backpack with the elegance of an Italian handbag.
Well-thought-out layout
Everything has its designated place.
-
Organization: The main compartment offers just the right volume for daily essentials such as a tablet, water bottle and wallet.
-
Quick access: Two separate front pockets with zippers allow for perfect separation of small items – e.g. keys on the left, tissues on the right.
-
Security: A zippered back pocket close to the body and an inner pocket reliably protect valuables from unauthorized access.
-
Interior: The textile lining is durable, light-colored and easy to care for.
Crafts from Tuscany
Like all bupell models, the Alberta is handcrafted in Italy. We use only vegetable-tanned leather (certified with the "Pelle Conciata al Vegetale" seal). This process avoids toxic chemicals and allows the material to breathe and retain its natural structure. An investment in durability and sustainability.

Care & Patina
Leather that lives with you.
Because we avoid artificial sealants, this vegetable-tanned leather is open-pored and breathable. Through sunlight, use, and touch, it develops a distinctive, darker patina. This makes your bag truly unique.
Our care tips:
- Scratches: Small scratches are part of the leather's character. They can often be easily rubbed away with your thumb and a little pressure, as the natural oils in the leather are distributed.
- Care: The leather is robust, but benefits from a little conditioning once or twice a year. Use a colorless leather grease or balm (e.g., beeswax-based) sparingly to keep it supple.

Honest leather. Real values.
bupell stands for conscious consumption and a clear stance against short-lived mass-produced goods. Our bags are made of vegetable-tanned leather – a material that takes longer to process, but is all the more durable. Tanning is carried out exclusively with plant extracts and takes several weeks. This traditional method from Tuscany is not only particularly environmentally friendly , but also gives the leather a distinctive surface. Each bag is handcrafted in Italian workshops – with care, experience, and high standards of quality. This creates long-lasting companions.
