WHAT IT IS

This genuine leather travel backpack is a versatile daypack designed for adventurers and urban explorers alike. Featuring a classic rucksack silhouette with modern functionality, this handcrafted bag offers three buckled front pockets for organized storage, a secure drawstring closure with protective flap, and a hidden back zipper pocket for valuables. The unisex design transitions seamlessly from morning commutes to weekend getaways, making it the only backpack you’ll need.

HOW IT’S MADE

Created by master leather artisans in Marrakech’s historic tannery district, each backpack requires 4-5 days of dedicated craftsmanship. The process begins with hand-selecting premium full-grain leather that undergoes traditional vegetable tanning—an eco-friendly process using natural tree bark extracts. Omar’s workshop artisans, with over 20 years of combined experience, hand-cut each panel, precision-stitch every seam with reinforced waxed thread, and carefully attach antiqued brass hardware. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece with natural variations that only genuine handcrafted leather can offer.

WHY IT MATTERS

Beyond exceptional functionality, this backpack represents sustainable craftsmanship and the preservation of traditional leatherworking skills. Your purchase directly supports fair trade artisan communities—craftspeople earn 3-4x Morocco’s minimum wage while preserving techniques passed down through generations. The vegetable-tanned leather develops a beautiful patina over time, becoming more characterful with each adventure. This isn’t just a bag; it’s an heirloom-quality companion built to last decades.
