The Executive Travel Backpack — Four Colours, One Vision

Back to Journal

Introducing our Executive Range of Bespoke Leather Travel Backpacks — handcrafted over 130+ hours in full-grain vegetable-tanned leather, available in Tan, Pinotage Red, Hunter Green, and Marine Blue.

The Executive Range

Introducing our Executive Range of Bespoke Leather Travel Backpacks — locally designed with a focus on originality, comfort, ergonomics, and durability.

Each backpack is handcrafted using the finest full-grain vegetable-tanned bovine hides for the exterior and suede for the lining. The entire production process spans over 130 hours, taking two to three months to complete.

We employ both traditional leatherworking techniques — saddle stitching, edge burnishing — alongside modern methods using sewing machines and high-quality adhesives. Our local team of skilled artisans creates each backpack from start to finish in our studios in Cape Town, South Africa.

Dimensions: 52cm (H) × 42cm (W) × 21cm (D) · Weight: 2.5kg

The Colours

The Executive Range is available in four signature colours, each dyed and finished by hand:

  • Tan — the classic, warm original
  • Pinotage Red — bold, deep, distinctly South African
  • Hunter Green — earthy, refined, versatile
  • Marine Blue — cool, confident, coastal
