material

Pure cotton & fine saddle leather

Our Kimberley collection is made of extra-robust cotton canvas, which is produced in Germany. The production is particularly resource-efficient, as only recycled water is used for the dyeing process, which is then reused in a closed purification process. The dyeing is of course azo dye-free.

Our saddle leather, which is particularly thick and robust, comes from water buffalo and is vegetable tanned. It comes from an LWG silver-certified tannery. Our leather gets its special patina from a special wax that is applied by hand.

Pure cotton lining

Our lining is made of pure cotton twill, a soft and natural material. Its special weave gives it a fine, diagonal structure that creates a particularly elegant look. This high-quality lining underlines the luxurious character of our Kimberley collection and at the same time ensures high functionality. This means your valuables remain well protected and you can enjoy the comfort that only natural materials can offer.

The value of a good trip

The story behind the bags

We are Daniel and Christoph and we are living our dream. Although we are both completely different, we share a great passion: traveling. We founded the DRAKENSBERG label because we want to inspire people to recognize the true value of travel and to strive for it. To see the journey as a destination and to grow from it. Because we believe that a good trip can change your whole life. The trip that changed our lives took us across South Africa almost 20 years ago. When we wanted to drive from Cape Town to the Drakensberg. But we never got there.

frequently asked Questions

Which laptops fit in the retro backpack »Henry«?

The retro backpack »Henry« offers a padded laptop compartment that is optimized for laptops up to 13 inches in size. However, narrower models up to a maximum of 15 inches can also fit in it. Thanks to the authentic design, your laptop stays safely and stylishly stowed away.

Can I take the canvas backpack »Henry« on the plane?

Yes, the "Henry" backpack is perfect for air travel. Thanks to its compact size, it usually fits easily into the cabin as hand luggage. In any case, it complies with the IATA and hand luggage regulations of the most common airlines.

Is the retro backpack »Henry« water-repellent?

The "Henry" backpack is not water-repellent by nature, but like the "Archie" backpack, it can be made weatherproof with a standard waterproofing spray. Alternatively, you can treat it with wax, as the cotton fabric absorbs the wax well. Please note that the fabric will darken slightly as a result of the waxing.

Is the backpack »Henry« an original Swiss army backpack?

No, the "Henry" backpack is not an original Swiss army backpack. We were inspired by the classic mountaineering backpacks of the 19th century when designing it. The backpacks of famous adventurers such as Heinrich Harrer or Luis Trenker might have looked something like this.

I've been looking for a long time...

... for a simple, robust backpack that could replace my ancient army backpack (CH). Now I have it. Perfect size, high-quality materials and workmanship, great looks. Absolutely justified price. The only thing I would like is an option to attach hiking poles or a tripod to the outside. Immediate delivery, even to Switzerland. Thank you very much!
