In the search for the original form of the backpack, we inevitably ended up at the beginnings of professional mountaineering. The spectacular first ascents at the beginning of the 20th century cast a spell over us. These expeditions would have been unimaginable without reliable equipment. Our »Henry« backpack is our tribute to the heroes of mountaineering and an authentic replica of these masterpieces of bag making. Backpack »Henry« is by far our most elaborate bag. But it's precisely the many small details that give seriousness to this bag. As a tribute to the eternal heroes and inspiration for new ones.
»Henry« has two slightly padded and length-adjustable shoulder straps. The back of the backpack has high-quality stitching and is lightly padded for more comfort. Inside there is a large compartment in which a 13" laptop or tablet computer can be safely stowed away. In the front area there is also a closable compartment for valuables inside. Outside there are closable outer pockets on the sides.
The backpack is of high quality. All wear points are lined with leather on the outside. All stress points are additionally reinforced. The back is padded and elaborately quilted. The underside of the masterpiece is made entirely of leather.
Perhaps you have already noticed that our bags are different.
The bag made of canvas and leather is almost completely handmade in many individual steps. Our master bag makers and saddlers need years of training to be able to produce bags of this quality.
We value natural and high-quality materials and pay attention to sustainability and the environment. GENUINE BUFFALO LEATHER, 100% COTTON, a high material strength and the complete absence of synthetic fibers in our outer fabrics characterize our bags. Handmade premium quality you can feel!
Leather is a natural material and may have small imperfections. Each leather product is also patinated by hand. This complex process makes our products unmistakable. No bag can be exactly like another. Small color deviations are unfortunately unavoidable and not a sign of poor quality.

FAQs: Frequently asked questions about our Backpack »Henry« w Olive-Green
CAN I TAKE THE »HENRY«, OLIVE GREEN BACKPACK ON THE PLANE?
This backpack is sized for major airlines and IATA. The backpack is the ideal hand luggage for almost any means of transport.
IS THE »HENRY« BACKPACK, OLIVE GREEN, DIMENSIONALLY STABLE OR RATHER SOFT?
Our canvas backpack belongs to the so-called soft luggage and consists partly of soft cotton canvas in olive green. Therefore, the shape changes, somewhat depending on the filling quantity. The advantage is that the vintage backpack can be stowed away better if it is not needed. With our bags, we deliberately do without a plastic lamination, which is required for a firm shape.
IS THE »HENRY« CANVAS BACKPACK, OLIVE GREEN, WATERPROOF OR WATER-REPELLENT?
The backpack made of canvas and leather was designed based on the classic mountain backpacks or hunting backpacks of the 19th century. In order to be as authentic as possible, we have only used materials - as they were 100 years ago - and avoid plastics and chemicals as much as possible. Unfortunately, the standard version of our canvas backpack is not waterproof or water-repellent. However, a short rain shower doesn't bother our bags. Alternatively, the backpack can be impregnated against moisture.
CAN THE »HENRY« BACKPACK, OLIVE GREEN, BE MADE WATERPROOF AFTERWARDS?
The backpack can be impregnated very well afterwards, with a commercial and colorless impregnation spray (e.g. Impregnol). Alternatively, you can also use an impregnation wax (e.g. Dr. Gee's impregnation wax). You should only note that this can change the color and texture of the bag. It is best to test the impregnation on the back.
HOW CAN I CLEAN AND CARE FOR MY BACKPACK »HENRY«, OLIVE GREEN?
We believe that a backpack with a vintage design can and should be seen to see how intensively it has been used. That's how it has to be. If you still feel the need to clean your bag, we recommend three steps:
- Remove dust and dirt particles from the backpack, e.g. with a brush or hand-held vacuum cleaner
- Gently dab and rub away stains with a clean, wet cloth. Consider trying a mild detergent if the stains are stubborn.
- Slightly grease leather from time to time (e.g. leather care with beeswax or carnauba wax). It is best to be careful not to hit the canvas to avoid stains.
WHICH LEATHER IS USED FOR THE »HENRY« BACKPACK, OLIVE GREEN?
We only use vegetable-tanned, full-grain buffalo leather for the backpack. The particularly robust leather comes from India. During production, our leather is also finished by hand with a colored carnauba-based wax, giving it its special vintage patina. A perfect interplay with our cotton canvas.
WHERE AND HOW IS THE »HENRY«, OLIVE GREEN BACKPACK MADE?
Our goods are made in India. Our manufactory is a small family business whose long-standing employees manufacture our bags with a lot of heart and passion. In the meantime, a real friendship has grown from our long cooperation. The production conditions are socially acceptable and correspond to BSCI standards. We convince ourselves of this on a regular basis. Our leather and cotton fabrics are sourced directly locally from India. When dyeing our cotton fabrics, only dyes that are free of AZO dyes are used. Our leathers are basically vegetable tanned, i.e. plant-based and without the use of aggressive tanning agents. Our standards are socially and ecologically justifiable and above average.
Our leather production is LWG certified
Our leather tannery is certified to the LWG standard and we use only vegetable tanning agents for tanning. The Leather Working Group (LWG) is an initiative to make conditions in tanneries and intermediaries more transparent and to bring about sustainable change. To implement its goals, the Leather Working Group has developed an audit protocol for sustainable and responsible leather production.
