In order to help fans of the Rihanna-fronted Fenty Puma brand carry their valuables in style, the new 'Mini Sherpa Backpack' was launched.

The bag is primarily made from a durable pebble leather, and is then lined with the soft sheep's fur around the exterior of the bag itself, which is also placed around the straps for a more comfortable fit. These straps can also be adjusted to the wearer's preference. On the front of the main pocket, Puma's branding is featured in a Gothic typeface that adds to the luxurious aesthetic.

Due to the high-end materials that are used, the unique look of the bag, and the brand name that's associated with it, the Mini Sherpa Backpack has a luxury price tag of $350 USD.
