Behind the seams – making our backpacks

From the rolling out and cutting of the waxed organic cotton, to every seam sewn – each one handmade in Britain and designed to withstand the test of time.

We focus on slowing down, celebrating traditional skills, and individuality. Carefully created from start to finish in a humble workshop by Lesley – our master seamstress.

Lesley brings our designs to life and has honed her skills with waxed cotton, leather and the various tools of the trade for over 35 years. Her attention to detail is evident in every backpack she creates for us, making each one a true embodiment of British craft(wo)manship. 

.

We only use the finest materials available that would withstand the hardy British weather. From waxed organic cotton made in Dundee to recycled wool padding made in Yorkshire, we source natural and sustainable ingredients that will vintage beautifully over time. Leather free options are also available to be custom made.

When you invest in and carry one of our backpacks, you're not just carrying a bag; you're carrying a piece of artistry and a story of craft. It's personal. The way we think clothing should be.
