Cut and stitched by hand in Nairobi, this backpack is built from full-grain leather that starts supple and only deepens with use — darkening at the edges, softening at the straps, settling into the shape of the person who carries it. The structured silhouette holds its form whether it's heading into a meeting or onto a long-haul flight, and a boldly lined interior adds an unexpected note of character beneath the quiet exterior. Brass-tone hardware and tight, even stitching speak to the care taken at every seam.

Each piece is cut from a single hide, meaning no two bags will read exactly the same — slight tonal variation and natural markings are part of what makes each one its own.
