Material

Cowhide Suede & Buffalo Leather

An expressive leather composition with fashionable aspirations: velvety velour cowhide meets striking buffalo leather, creating an exciting contrast that immediately catches the eye. The combination appears both soft and powerful – modernly interpreted yet deeply rooted in classic design codes.

Inspired by iconic leather accessories of past decades, in which different materials were deliberately combined, this look represents a new form of elegance: casual, confident, and distinctive. A stylish combination that turns every bag into a true statement piece.

Reine Baumwolle ohne Kunststoff, robust, natürlich und nachhaltig

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 "Henry" Edition backpack on the plane?

Yes, the "Henry" Special Edition backpack is suitable as carry-on luggage with many airlines. With its generous 30-liter volume, the leather backpack offers ample space for clothes, travel documents, personal items, and a laptop up to 15 inches.

Since permissible dimensions and weight limits can vary depending on the airline and booked fare, you should check the current carry-on regulations before departure. Thanks to its soft construction, the vintage backpack can be packed flexibly and easily stowed in the overhead compartment.

Is the leather backpack "Henry" dimensionally stable or rather soft?

The "Henry" backpack belongs to the soft-sided backpack category. The Special Edition is crafted from fine suede and robust smooth leather, allowing it to easily adapt to its contents. A rigid plastic stiffener is intentionally omitted to preserve the authentic character of a historical mountaineering backpack.

Nevertheless, the smooth leather-reinforced bottom, leather straps, and carefully crafted stress points provide stability. "Henry" looks particularly appealing when sufficiently filled, allowing its characteristic shape to unfold.

Is the "Henry" backpack one of the original Swiss Army backpacks?

No, the "Henry" backpack is not an original Swiss Army backpack. It is a loving reinterpretation of classic hiking backpacks, military backpacks, and alpine mountaineering backpacks from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The distinctive leather straps, the patch pockets, and the traditional silhouette are reminiscent of a time when backpacks were predominantly made from high-quality natural materials. In the Special Edition, this historical design is particularly stylishly interpreted through the elegant combination of suede and smooth leather.

Thus, "Henry" combines the appeal of a classic retro backpack with the demands of modern everyday life – including padded shoulder straps, 30 liters of storage space, and a laptop compartment up to 15 inches.

Is the "Henry" suede backpack suitable for outdoor activities?

The "Henry" Edition backpack is suitable for travel, day trips, walks, and light outdoor activities in dry weather. However, the delicate suede requires a bit more care.

Before its first outdoor use, the suede backpack must be treated with a suitable, colorless waterproofing spray for nubuck or suede. The impregnation protects the material from light moisture and dirt, but it does not make the backpack waterproof.

Even after impregnation, you should avoid heavy downpours, prolonged rain, and very wet conditions. If it unexpectedly gets wet, the backpack should be allowed to dry slowly at room temperature. Heaters, direct sunlight, and other strong heat sources can damage the leather.
