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.

Lotus effect: weatherproof cotton for everyday use

This product is water-repellent and perfectly designed for everyday use. We only use 100% cotton, which has been deeply impregnated to achieve a fascinating lotus effect. This means the canvas remains weatherproof and reliably protects your belongings, without the use of plastic.

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

Can I take the backpack »Charly« on the plane?

Yes, the "Charly" backpack is perfect for air travel. Thanks to its compact size, it usually fits easily into the cabin as hand luggage.

Is the canvas backpack »Charly« waterproof or water-repellent?

The "Charly" backpack is already impregnated and therefore water-repellent. It combines typical vintage elements from DRAKENSBERG with contemporary design. A short rain shower won't bother this backpack.

How can I clean and care for my backpack »Charly«?

We believe that a backpack with a vintage design can and should show how intensively it has been used. That's exactly how it should be. If you still feel the need to clean your bag, we recommend three steps:

Remove dust and dirt particles from the backpack, e.g. with a brush or hand-held vacuum cleaner.

Gently dab and rub stains with a clean, wet cloth. You may want to try a gentle lye solution if the stains are stubborn.

Lightly grease the leather from time to time (e.g. leather care with beeswax or carnauba wax). Be careful not to touch the canvas to avoid stains.

Where and how is the backpack »Charly« made?

Our products are manufactured in India. Our factory is a small family business whose long-standing employees make our bags with a lot of heart and passion. Our long-term collaboration has now developed into a real friendship.

The production conditions are socially acceptable and meet SEDEX standards. We regularly check this for ourselves. Our leather and cotton fabrics come directly from India and are certified.

When dyeing our cotton fabrics, we only use dyes that are free of AZO dyes. Our leather is largely vegetable tanned, i.e. with plant parts. Our standards are socially and ecologically acceptable and above average. However, it is our aim to continue to work on ourselves and to improve our ecological and social "footprint" even further.

As in "Out of Africa"

I was looking for a stylish and practical backpack and found one here. I really like the backpack and it reminds me of the film "Out of Africa", which I really like. I've only had the backpack for a short time, but I'm already in love with it! I would definitely recommend it! I'm happy to be able to support a small company in the Palatinate instead of always buying from the big retailers! Keep it up!!
