Just a few points. Tannage =/= stiffness. You can have vegtan thats extremely soft, and chrometan thats extremely stiff. Calling this vachetta is quite incorrect on their marketing team, its a vegetable tanned leather, but in industry vachetta generally refers to a natural, unfinished leather, which this can't be further from. This have a very pigmented paint finish, and if you look at the side/bottom, what appears to be an even heavier paint for the bottom portion. I imagine they do this so that custers won't complain where a natural /aniline finish would patina, this paint will not patina, but it will crack/peel in 5-10 years no matter what you do, and cannot be easily repaired. The style of backstrap attachment is only okay for very small bags. For medium-large scale bags, you what at least a few inches of space in between that that the straps can come out at the correct angle to rest comfortably over the shoulders, and not dig into your neck. This has been studied GREATLY by anthropometric ergonomists looking at backpack design, particularly for heavy loads for children, there's a lot of great paperwork. Its an interesting execution, but from a design perspective it cuts a lot of corners, which considering the cost... seems unfortunate.
I swing my bag on my left shoulder so I can access it with my right hand. Therefore I assume left-handed people would swing the bag over their right shoulder to access it with their left hand. Would love to hear from left-handed people out there to confirm or deny this :D
Nice vid. I subcribed

Where can a similar pattern be found?
Why do you think that lefthanded people wear backpacks on their right shoulder? Watch - yes, but a backpack on a shoulder? - this is interesting

Female only！？
No, I would very happily use this myself if I had a spare :)
Not at all, in fact, more men buy these types of backpacks.
