Beautifully made, strong yet light weight and should last for years, an absolute delight.
This pack has been carefully crafted by hand, using British leather and premium waxed organic cotton from Halley Stevenson. It is designed to age beautifully, gaining natural character and colour along the way from everyday adventures. It'll never look new again, and all the better for it!

To keep your pack looking as beautiful as possible, please follow these care instructions:
– Hand wash only, in cold water 30 degrees or cooler.
- Dab, don't scrub any patches of dirt.
– Do not tumble dry.
– Do not iron.
– Do not bleach.
– Do not dry clean.
When your pack inevitably gets soaking wet on those soggy rainy days (and don't worry, your kit inside will stay nice and dry), just leave your bag to dry in a warm room. Don't towel dry and don't place on direct heat, or anywhere close to a fire. Easy peasy.
To ensure that your pack remains highly waterproof, we recommend re-proofing every 9-12 months, using our fluorocarbon-free transparent Eco Reproofing Spray. Simply spray your pack lightly and then leave it to dry in a warm room.
How to care for a waxed cotton backpack. Our packs are made from waxed organic cotton by Halley Stevensons, which, as they explain, is naturally breathable: the wax softens in warm weather and stiffens in the cold to block the wind. With use it picks up creases and marks that give every bag its own character. To keep it weatherproof, brush off dirt once dry, wipe with a cold damp cloth and never machine wash. Re-proof every 12 to 18 months, or whenever water stops beading, with a waxed cotton reproofing spray or wax. The natural leather will darken into a rich patina over time.
