What is a leather backpack?

A leather backpack is not just a storage space for your personal belongings, but a symbiosis of durability, aesthetics and comfort. The material used, often high-quality buffalo leather, stands for robustness and a long service life. Originally developed in the outdoor world and for adventurers, the leather backpack has established itself as a multifunctional companion for a wide variety of areas of life. Be it a walk through the city, a hiking adventure or as a fashion statement - the leather backpack combines functionality with stylish elegance.

What size should a leather backpack be?

The ideal size of a leather backpack depends on your specific needs and intended use. For everyday activities such as going to the office, college or for day trips, a main compartment with a volume of between 15 and 25 liters is often sufficient. This size offers enough space for a laptop, books and other everyday items. For longer trips, specialized outdoor activities such as hiking and camping, or larger purchases, a larger model with a capacity of 30 to 50 liters is recommended. These leather backpacks offer advanced features such as additional compartments and pockets and are perfectly tailored to the needs of adventurers.

Can a leather backpack be taken on a plane as hand luggage?

Yes, in general it is possible to take a leather backpack on a plane as hand luggage. However, it is important to comply with the size and weight regulations of each airline. These guidelines can be found on the airlines' websites and should be checked before travelling to avoid any additional costs or problems.

In addition, it is important to ensure that no prohibited items, products or articles, such as liquids over 100 ml or sharp objects, are carried in the leather backpack. Thanks to the flexibility and robust construction of leather backpacks, they can easily be stored in the overhead compartments or under the airplane seat.

Why are leather backpacks so practical?

Hands free: One of the most obvious advantages of leather backpacks over other types of bags is the freedom of your hands. Whether you are shopping at the supermarket, riding your bike or just taking a walk, leather backpacks allow you to have both hands free.

Weight distribution: Compared to shoulder bags, a backpack distributes the weight evenly across both shoulders. This minimizes the strain on the back and makes carrying it more comfortable, even with heavy loads. The straps should be adjusted evenly and matched to the size of the wearer for maximum comfort.

Quick access: Many leather backpacks have well-designed compartments and pockets so that you can quickly access important items such as keys, laptop, smartphone or wallet.

Mobility: Whether you're rushing through the city or taking a walk in the park, a leather backpack for men and women is the ideal companion. It allows maximum freedom of movement and is therefore particularly suitable for an active lifestyle.

Flexibility: A leather backpack is versatile. You can use it for the way to work, for sports or for a short trip at the weekend. The flexibility to transport different items safely and comfortably makes it particularly useful in everyday life.

Order and organization: The versatile interior and exterior compartments make it easy to organize your items. From your laptop to your water bottle, everything has its place and you always have an overview.

Security: Unlike a handbag, backpacks are harder for pickpockets to open, especially if they have additional security features such as hidden zippered pockets.

Fashion conscious: A high-quality leather backpack for men and women is not only practical, but also a stylish accessory that gives your outfit an elegant touch. We have a large selection of models for men and women in various colors, sizes, categories and shapes. Your favorite color is definitely in our range.

What is special about buffalo leather and why is it so suitable for leather backpacks?

Robustness:

Water buffalo leather is known for its high tear and abrasion resistance. This makes it extremely durable and resistant to the rigors of travel or outdoor activities.

Natural look:

Unlike many other types of leather, buffalo leather retains a natural and original texture. This gives leather backpacks an authentic and at the same time elegant look.

Flexibility:

Despite its robustness, this leather is flexible and adapts to the shape of the objects carried in it. This not only offers comfort but also better use of space inside the backpack.

Breathability:

Water buffalo leather is naturally breathable, which reduces the formation of unpleasant odors inside backpacks. This is an important aspect, especially if the backpack is worn for long periods of time.

Uniqueness:

Each piece of buffalo leather has its own individual grain. This means that every backpack made from this material is unique.

Easy-care:

Water buffalo leather is comparatively easy to care for. Minor stains can often be removed with a damp cloth, and the material ages in an attractive way, giving the product additional character. Ideal for all vintage lovers.

Sustainability:

When produced in a socially responsible and correct manner, water buffalo leather is a sustainable resource. The durable nature of the material promotes sustainability, as products need to be replaced less frequently.

Are DRAKENSBERG leather backpacks water resistant?

Our leather backpacks are generally not waterproof, but the high quality of the leather and the workmanship means they can easily repel light moisture. If greater resistance to water is desired, the product can simply be treated with a suitable waterproofing spray. Corresponding products can be found under the IMPRÄGNOL brand. This waterproofing can also be applied to other bags in our range.

Why are DRAKENSBERG leather backpacks special?

DRAKENSBERG focuses on authenticity, quality and sustainability. Unlike many other brands that rely on artificial materials and inferior leather, we only use full-grain buffalo leather and 100% cotton for our products. This gives each backpack an incomparable feel and durability. Our leather backpacks are made without the use of foam reinforcements or cheap filling materials. This means that the original, natural material is preserved in its purest form. At DRAKENSBERG you are investing in a truly unique item that is both practical and stylish. Our products are handmade to ensure the highest quality and are produced in a socially acceptable and sustainable manner.
