Heritage
Heritage combines waxed 22 oz cotton twill with buffalo leather in bags made for frequent use. The water-repellent canvas helps protect your belongings on everyday journeys and outdoor adventures.
Developed over more than a year, the collection puts practical details and durable construction at its heart. Hand-set copper rivets reinforce stress points and develop their own patina over time.
