Story & heritage
Frank is the house anchor: Ally Capellino describes it as the original iconic waxed cotton rucksack, recognisable for top handles, double pockets, a boxy body and a wide opening.
The silhouette fits the brand’s post-2000 focus on bags: practical, unshowy and built around daily creative work, travel and commuting.
Materials & craft
The official specification combines water-resistant waxed cotton with Italian bridle leather straps, a padded back section, cotton lining and an interior zip pocket. The large format is designed for strength, space and laptop-era utility.
How to choose & style
Choose Frank when the outfit needs architecture rather than polish: it works with chore coats, tailoring, denim and weatherproof layers. Black is the evergreen city version; seasonal waxed-cotton colours make the shape warmer and more outdoorsy.
