Marine-Blue Travel Backpack — Bespoke Leather in Vegetable-Tanned Hide
Deep Atlantic blue in full-grain vegetable-tanned leather — the Marine Blue is the most versatile of the range, moving seamlessly between boardroom and weekend travel.
Marine-Blue — The Colour
The Marine-Blue sits at the deeper end of the navy spectrum — not a bright blue but something closer to deep water, with an almost green undertone in certain light. It is the most versatile colour in the range, moving cleanly from boardroom to weekend travel.
In full-grain vegetable-tanned bovine hide, the blue develops a patina with use — lightening along stress points and fold lines in a way that is entirely natural and unique to the individual bag.

Styled for Travel
The backpack was designed around the needs of the travelling executive — a padded laptop sleeve in hand-felted merino wool, card and phone pockets, and a key-chain holder for quick access. The shoulder straps use foam-padded inserts enrobed in leather for all-day comfort.
