The courier bag “Leon” is a modern interpretation of the classic mailbags of the 18th and 19th centuries. Crafted from premium, vegetable-tanned buffalo leather, it combines traditional design with contemporary functionality. For centuries, bags of this kind have served as reliable companions around the world – proof of their durability and timeless practicality.
The flap is secured with discreet magnetic fasteners, while the main compartment is protected by an additional zipper. On top of the flap, a practical zip pocket allows quick access to essential items and also serves as a distinctive design feature.
Inside, Leon impresses with its thoughtful organization: a padded 16" laptop compartment, one large zip pocket, two open compartments, and three pen holders provide structure and protection for your essentials – from laptop and tablet to A4 documents. On the back, another zip pocket and a convenient trolley strap make it ideal for travel and business alike.
The adjustable shoulder strap ensures comfortable cross-body carrying – classic, casual, and functional at the same time. All seams and stress points are carefully reinforced and finished with leather trims. Even after years of use, Leon remains a refined and stylish companion for your professional and everyday journeys.

Full grain buffalo leather
During the British era in India, traditional bag making flourished. The fusion of British designs with Indian craftsmanship resulted in high-quality leather bags made from robust, vegetable-tanned buffalo leather, also known as hunter leather, which is known for its distinctive grain. In our collection we use exactly this special material to create a high-quality and authentic look. The durable Hunter leather develops a beautiful patina over time, which gives each bag a unique and personal touch.
Pure cotton lining
Our lining fabric is made from pure cotton twill, a soft and natural material. For the Outlaw collection, we have developed an inspiring signature print featuring old nautical charts that gives each piece a special touch. This high-quality cotton lining not only offers comfort, but also a stylish addition to our handmade bags.
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.
