Hunter-Green Travel Backpack — Bespoke Leather in Vegetable-Tanned Hide
Deep, forest-floor hunter green in full-grain vegetable-tanned leather — 130 hours of hand-craft, saddle-stitching, edge-burnishing, and solid brass hardware.
Hunter-Green — The Colour
Of the four colours in our Executive Travel Backpack range, Hunter-Green has a particular depth to it — a darkened, forest-floor green that takes on different tones depending on the light. In full sun it glows; in shade it recedes to something almost charcoal.
Full-grain vegetable-tanned bovine hide ages beautifully in this colour — developing a patina that only deepens over years of use.

The Making
Every backpack in this range takes over 130 hours to complete across a two-to-three month production window. Both traditional techniques — saddle stitching, baseball stitching, edge burnishing — and modern methods are used in combination.
Detail of the saddle-stitched seam and burnished edge — two marks of quality that distinguish hand-craft from machine production.
