Visvim makes great bags and luggage too, as any devotee to the brand will tell you. These latest versions of the Lamina backpack give you a good idea why. It has a lightweight 'Konbu' nylon body, which if it didn't say 'nylon' after it you might thing was a rare animal, and a contrasting base which features a coated Italian canvas.
The other one is crafted from a canvas you might think was woven in the foothills of Nepal but is apparently from Italy,
With the absence of any elk, I'm guessing no animals were killed in the making of these. OK, maybe a sliver was taken for a zip pull.
