material

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.

The seams sturdiness, leather texture and even the packing protection for the buckles is exceptional. The level of detail in your products is outstanding. Congratulations for your craftsmanship execution!

The bag was delivered very quickly and is also packed in a dust and scratch protection bag inside the box. The bag itself is an eye-catcher that can also be used for other purposes.

At first glance, the bag makes a very high-quality impression. The material feels pleasant, smells pleasant (not an overly strong leather smell, as is often criticized with some bags) and the seams are well finished. It is of course heavier than a simple bag made of canvas or similar materials, but I think the weight is absolutely fine. I hardly notice any color deviations from the product image, which is natural with real leather. For me, that is also a sign of top quality.

There is definitely enough storage space. There are several zipped and slip-in compartments - even two next to the pen holders, which I hadn't noticed in the pictures. The main compartment is also closed with a zip, which was a purchasing criterion for me. I want to keep my laptop, tablet, wallet, etc. safe and not in an open pocket that you can just fold a flap over.

One star is deducted for the laptop bag. According to the description, devices up to 16" fit in. I have a 15.6" laptop that doesn't(!) fit in. The bag is easily 1-2cm wider than it would be for it to fit. The laptop isn't particularly thick (but it's not an Ultrabook, Macbook or similar) and doesn't have an extra bag around it. What a pity...

Otherwise, I wonder why leather bags are so often labelled as men's bags. Don't women need spacious bags for university/work? In any case, I can clearly say: The bag looks good on women too!

First impression: very positive!
From the outside, the bag looks very sturdy, the seams are well made, the quality looks high-quality. The leather feels soft.
There is enough storage space inside for documents and stuff for work/university. A 1.5l water bottle fits easily into the large compartment. The laptop compartment is big enough for a 15" laptop, as long as you don't have a case. It is well padded though. I was pleasantly surprised that the bag can be closed with a zipper.
