From a busy day of navigating city sidewalks to the hiking trail, this versatile all-around bag with a rugged look and feel is styled for adventure. The GP2 is an exceptional travel/touring bag, and you’ll love the hands-free freedom it gives you for shopping and browsing around.
You can carry this bag as a shoulder purse, a crossbody, or even convert it into a surprisingly spacious, lightweight backpack. Pockets on the back provide easy access to your phone and keys, and the super soft and comfy strap adjusts from 34-58”. Two large interior compartments.
“There are two things in which I strongly believe… (1) each day should be lived as an adventure and (2) there ‘ain’t’ no future in being ordinary. I designed the GP2 after an antique, Swiss Army Bag I’ve had in my private collection for many years. There’s nothing like it out there, and I can assure you there’s no way you’re going to look ordinary carrying it. It has an eye-catching, expedition, ‘outdoorsey’ vibe that will set you apart from the crowd.”
-Colonel
The body of the bag is made of sturdy No. 8 Khaki cotton canvas and richly textured Tobacco Brown American Buffalo. The GP2 bag is trimmed in Vintage Brown American Steerhide which is hand laced across the front flap. All leather on the bag is edge stitched and edge coated – hallmarks of quality, long-lasting construction. All hardware is solid brass. The bag is appointed with an easy access, brass cinch buckle closure.
When it comes to American Buffalo, Colonel says, “Expect a leather that is unapologetically rugged with more character, nicks, scrapes and variations in color.” Learn more about our American Buffalo Leather.
Leather: Always full-grain, the finest cut of leather. Expertly vegetable-tanned and finished in rich custom colors. Handcrafted exclusively for Col. Littleton by a small local tannery.
Extras:
Designed by Colonel Littleton and handcrafted in our workshop in Lynnville, TN.

GP No. 2 Ladies Convertible Backpack
We are committed to producing quality, handcrafted products that showcase our time-honored standards of excellence and deep respect for the Americana tradition. Col. Littleton products go through rigorous testing and numerous quality inspections before being shipped to our customers. Should you receive a Col. Littleton product that is defective in materials or workmanship, you can count on us to make it right. Our guarantee is limited to the cost of the product itself. It also does not cover normal wear and tear. We feel if you just plain “wore it out,” you got your money’s worth. Also, we cannot be responsible for an item which has suffered through alteration, damage due to improper cleaning, improper use, mishandling or accident. If we made a mistake in personalizing your product or if the product is defective in materials or workmanship, of course we’ll replace it. Otherwise, personalized products are not returnable.
Leather is a passion for me. There are more kinds of leather and leather processing out there than you can shake a stick at. You can mold leather into just about any shape or form. You can make every hide look just alike. You can dye it green, blue or even pink. You can apply a finish, coat it, spray it or make it look slick and shiny. That’s not what we’re about at Col. Littleton. To me the beauty is in the naturalness of the leather. People always comment to me about the special “feel” of our leather and how it becomes even more beautiful after it has some wear on it. It’s all about our leather process. When you buy Col. Littleton leather goods, you’re buying, for the most part, full-grain American vegetable-tanned steerhide that has received a minimum of alteration. We don’t apply a finish to hide character markings. The way I see it, every marking tells a story and covering them robs the piece of its life and character.
I see a real resurgence in the country today for products made in America. Our focus is to design and create products that speak to the time-honored traditions that have made this country great such as handmade craftsmanship, authentic rich leathers and quality workmanship. There’s a nostalgic feel about the products we make . . . most of them could have been made 100 years ago and many are made using turn-of-the-20th-century methodology and machinery. Our products are true Americana; forged as our forefathers intended by people who care and take pride in making a beautiful product.

I have wanted to purchase this bag for some time now. When I realized the leather pockets had been added to the back, I was ready to order. What a great idea! This convertible backpack is superb.
We’re so glad you love the back pockets and hope you enjoy your backpack for years to come!
What an absolutely perfect convertible bag!! Love the design, attention to details, quality and the versatility!! I will mostly use it as a crossbody or shoulder bag. This is my new go to purse! What a great find! Thank you for offering such a wonderful product!
Mariam, thank you so much for your review! We’re so glad you’re enjoying your GP No. 2 Convertible Backpack and hope it continues serving you well for many years to come!
Quality is exactly what you’d expect from the Col. I bought this to use as my back pack because I love a canvas back pack and to that add American Buffalo!! Well, it’s stunning. This bag is not only for the ladies and that’s why I bought it. I’m sure it will get compliments just as my other Col bags. Thank you for the quality you continue to put out.
We’re so glad you love it Dana! Thank you for your five star review and kind words.
