The "Paula" rolltop backpack is a modern homage to the classic courier backpack, which originated in the 1990s – developed back then for bicycle messengers who required maximum flexibility, security, and storage space. Today, this iconic rolltop style is not only functional but also stylish – especially when it's made from high-quality, robust buffalo leather like the "Paula." This gives the backpack not only durability but also a natural elegance that makes it suitable for everyday use and even socially acceptable.
Whether as a companion to the office, university, or on day trips – "Paula" is a versatile leather backpack for men and women that impresses with both style and functionality. The integrated 15-inch laptop compartment (25 x 33 cm) protects your tech, while two zippered exterior pockets and an additional interior compartment keep things organized. The hidden zippered compartment on the back is especially practical – ideal for valuables that need to be safely stowed away while on the go.
Thanks to the expandable roll-top closure, the backpack adapts flexibly to your everyday needs: When fully extended, it offers approximately 16 liters of storage space – enough room for a laptop, notebook, water bottle, and more. The elaborately quilted back with elegant diamond stitching not only ensures a stylish look but also comfortable carrying.
Crafted from natural buffalo leather, each "Paula" backpack becomes truly unique over time. The distinctive patina that develops with daily use tells the story of your life—of adventures, travels, and moments that have shaped you.
»Paula« is not only a practical companion, but a statement for timeless style, sustainable quality and the beauty of life.

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.
