Made for the City, Every Day
The Saint-Germain backpack weighs just 600 grams, making it one of the lightest in the Lipault range. Designed for city life, it carries everything you need day to day without ever weighing you down.
Lightweight Enough to Forget You're Wearing It
Six hundred grams. That is all the Saint-Germain weighs empty, making it one of the lightest 16 inch laptop backpacks around. Crafted from our matte rubber effect material in the confident Lost In Berlin aesthetic, it carries your laptop, your headphones, a book, a light spare outfit and your daily essentials with room to spare, all without the weight that normally comes with a backpack of this functionality. The rubber effect material is water-resistant, so an unexpected shower on the way to the station is never a concern. Available in a choice of thoughtfully chosen colourways, from understated neutrals to warmer tones and bolder shades, the Saint-Germain looks as considered as the neighbourhood it is named after.
Functional From the First Pocket to the Last
At 18 litres, the Saint-Germain is compact without feeling restrictive. A dedicated padded compartment keeps your laptop up to 16 inches cushioned and secure throughout the commute. A zipped interior pocket keeps smaller items organised and within easy reach. On the outside, a zipped front pocket gives you instant access to your card, phone and keys. And a rear luggage loop lets you slide the Saint-Germain directly over a suitcase handle on travel days, so both bags move together through the airport without any awkward juggling. Every detail is considered. Nothing is wasted.
The Urban Backpack That Goes Everywhere You Do
The Saint-Germain is designed for the full spectrum of urban movement. Compact enough to carry on a bicycle without catching the wind. Light enough to wear all day on foot without noticing the weight. Slim enough to sit comfortably on a crowded subway without bothering anyone. And stylish enough to take straight from the desk to a café, a gallery or wherever the evening takes you. It is the backpack for people who live in the city and want their bag to keep up with every version of their day.

FAQ
How much does the Saint-Germain backpack weigh?
The Saint-Germain backpack weighs just 600 grams empty, making it one of the lightest backpacks in the Lipault range and one of the lightest 16 inch laptop backpacks available. That lightness is one of its defining features: you can pack it with a laptop, daily essentials and a change of clothes and still carry it all day without noticing the weight.
What laptop size fits in the Saint-Germain backpack?
The Saint-Germain features a dedicated padded compartment designed for laptops up to 16 inches. The compartment keeps your device cushioned and secure throughout the commute, protecting it from the knocks and bumps of everyday city travel.
What can I fit in the Saint-Germain backpack?
At 18 litres, the Saint-Germain comfortably holds a 16 inch laptop in its dedicated compartment, alongside headphones, a book or notebook, a spare shirt or a sports outfit, your charger, and your daily essentials. It is designed around the realistic contents of a productive urban day rather than packing for a trip, so every litre is put to use. The zipped front pocket gives you instant access to your phone, keys and card without having to open the main compartment.
Is the Saint-Germain backpack suitable for cycling?
Yes. The Saint-Germain is specifically designed for all urban movement, including cycling. Its compact format sits close to the back without catching wind or throwing off your balance, and its 600 gram weight means you barely notice it during a ride. The rubber effect material is water-resistant, so a morning drizzle on the way to work will not affect what is inside, and the rear luggage loop stays flat against the back when cycling without getting in the way.
What colours is the Saint-Germain backpack available in?
The Saint-Germain backpack comes in a choice of colourways spanning understated neutrals and warmer, more distinctive tones, so you can find a colour that suits your personal style, complements your existing Lipault collection or simply stands out in the right way. Shades are refreshed over time, so the current selection is shown on the product page, where you can compare them side by side. If a particular colour appeals, it is worth ordering while it is in stock, as seasonal shades do not always return.
Can I use the Saint-Germain backpack for travel as well as daily use?
Yes. While the Saint-Germain is designed primarily for urban daily life, its rear luggage loop means it slides directly over a suitcase handle on travel days, letting both bags move together through the airport with ease. It works as a practical in-flight companion for keeping your laptop, documents and essentials within easy reach throughout the journey. As cabin and personal item dimensions vary significantly between airlines, we always recommend checking your specific carrier's allowances before travelling with this backpack.
