Thanks to a travelling companion I discovered the Groom microfiber backpack handbags in on Rue Chereche Midi in Paris nearly 10 years ago and have been carrying them ever since. Practical for everyday, this lightweight beautiful design is essential for travel. The company has been producing the microfiber backpack handbags for 20 years. It is a Parisian classic---especially noteworthy in a fashion period where handbags tend toward being elaborate, fussy and overdone.
Featured in Marcy's popular Threads travel article, the Groom backpack bag is now available through Marcy in microfiber and leather as well as other Groom styles. I have a large selection on hand and can take special orders, so watch this site for new colors. These bags are not distributed in the US at this time. Contact Marcy directly for wholesale information or if you would like to host a sale in your area.
I toss my microfiber backpacks in the washing machine (gentle) and air-dry. The leather bags are supple and elegant, a long term wardrobe investment----you'll pass them down to your daughter or granddaughter.
Sorry, no refunds or returns on special orders. No assured arrival date either.
