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.

frequently asked Questions

How many days of clothing can the leather weekender »David« (L) hold?

The leather weekender »David« (L) offers you enough storage space for a trip of about 4 to 7 days. This of course depends on how efficiently you pack and what kind of clothing and equipment you take with you. This weekender is perfect for short city trips or weekend excursions.

Can I take the leather weekender »David« (L) on the plane as hand luggage?

The leather weekender »David« (L) does not meet the strict dimensions for hand luggage of most airlines, but depending on the airline it is often accepted as such. A crucial factor is that you make sure not to fill the weekender too full so that it remains flexible and easily compressible.

How do I properly care for the leather weekender »David« (L)?

The weekender's vintage look may show signs of use. If you still want to clean it, we recommend the following steps:

1. Remove dust and dirt particles with a brush or handheld vacuum cleaner.

2. Dab stains with a damp cloth and rub gently. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can help.

3. Care for the leather regularly with a suitable care product (e.g. beeswax or carnauba wax). Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

The Weekender David (L) in coffee-brown buffalo leather is solidly made, the leather is soft, smells pleasant and the color looks very classy. The material is thick and partially reinforced, the bottom has beautiful diamond quilting and the handles are a real treat for the hands.
The brass fittings look robust. The size is ideal for trips between 5 - 12 days (as some space can be gained using the adjustable straps)

The bag was neatly packaged, fittings lovingly protected, dust bag & shoulder strap included and shipping was very quick.

Two small shortcomings:

Unfortunately, the zippers are a bit flimsy and detract slightly from the overall mega impression. (I fixed this with a little beeswax)

Furthermore, the inner lining/cotton fabric is only sewn on the outer edges, which results in a suction effect or wrinkles when unpacking the clothing...

All in all, I can highly recommend the bag/Drakensberg. It looks great, the material feels high quality, and the workmanship and quality are just right.

Communication via email was also very quick and friendly.

In today's "strange" times, it is especially important that people focus more on real values ​​and support a corporate philosophy like that of Drakensberg/Equatorial!

Hopefully many more such great "real" leather products will find their way to Drakensberg in the future!

...A very large/robust expedition luggage 100l ++ or a travel bag for dog accessories/food, each made of full-grain leather, would, in my opinion, suit the range very well....

Please keep it up!
