I have really expensive taste. It’s both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because whenever my friends need someone to go shopping with them, I’m always their first call. A curse because staying within my budget every month is a real challenge, which is why I rely on Quince’s affordable finds.
Bags are my biggest vice, including my recent obsession with Bottega Veneta’s $4,400 Intrecciato Trail Backpack. Fashioned out of the brand’s iconic interlocking leather, this backpack has been in the back of my mind since I first saw it being used by a fellow traveler when I went to Vermont for my friend’s wedding. So when I saw that Quince quietly dropped a nearly identical convertible version last week, I knew I had to have it.

In addition to the lookalike handwoven design and Italian leather construction, there are other factors that make this Quince Italian Leather Handwoven Convertible Backpack a superior choice for your own handbag collection. I can’t help but love the significant price difference. While the Bottega Veneta costs $4,400, this Quince find is only $178—nearly $4,200 in savings.
The Quince backpack is also more versatile, since you can wear it in two completely different ways. Like some of Quince’s other handbag options, this handwoven version is convertible. In addition to a backpack, you can transform it into a shoulder bag using the included adjustable strap. This simple yet genius design feature makes it the ultimate day-to-night accessory.
The size is also a big bonus. While the Intrecciato Trail Backpack is super spacious—having seen it in person, I can admit that word barely does it justice—it also looks pretty cumbersome while it’s on your back. The Quince convertible backpack features three compartments in the interior, and it comes with a zippered pocket and two slip pockets on the inside. Plus, the Quince bag is slightly more streamlined that the pricier style, giving off the impression that even when it’s nearly bursting with all your travel or office must-haves, it’ll still look compact and sophisticated.
When I take into account its versatility, unbeatable price, and sleek shape, the Quince backpack is a no-brainer for my next bag purchase. Now what to do with that extra $4,200 dollars?
