Henry Backpack – Special Edition
The Henry backpack is an elegant take on the classic mountaineering backpack. Inspired by traditional hiking packs and the iconic Swiss Army backpack, this special edition combines a distinctive alpine look with the rich character of soft suede and smooth full-grain leather.
The velvety suede gives the backpack a warm, natural feel, while the smooth leather straps, trims, and reinforcements create a refined contrast. The entire base is covered in durable leather, adding extra protection and helping the backpack maintain its shape through everyday use.
With a generous 30-liter capacity, Henry has plenty of room for clothing, documents, and other travel essentials. The spacious main compartment includes a dedicated laptop sleeve for devices up to 15 inches, measuring approximately 30 × 35 cm. A secure zippered pocket keeps valuables protected, while two external pockets provide quick access to the things you use most.
Comfort is just as important as style. Padded shoulder straps and a carefully quilted, diamond-stitched back panel make Henry comfortable to carry, even on longer journeys. Whether you're looking for a stylish travel backpack, everyday daypack, office or university bag, Henry fits naturally into all of them. Its distinctive alpine character also makes it a perfect companion for traditional Bavarian occasions such as Oktoberfest.
Each Henry backpack is carefully handcrafted from selected natural materials. Reinforced stress points and traditional detailing add strength and help the backpack retain its shape, character, and timeless appeal—even with regular use.
A timeless alpine design, premium materials, and practical everyday functionality—all brought together in one distinctive backpack.
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« Suede Coffee-Brown
Q1. Can I take the “Henry” Edition backpack on a plane?
Yes. The “Henry” Special Edition backpack is suitable as carry-on luggage with many airlines. Its spacious 30-liter capacity gives you plenty of room for clothing, travel essentials, documents, personal belongings, and a laptop up to 15 inches. Keep in mind that carry-on size and weight allowances can vary between airlines and fare types, so we recommend checking your airline’s current baggage requirements before travelling. The backpack’s soft, flexible construction also makes it easy to pack and store in the overhead compartment.
Q2. Is the “Henry” backpack structured or soft?
The “Henry” is a soft-sided backpack, designed to retain the authentic look and feel of a classic vintage mountaineering backpack. The Special Edition combines fine suede with durable smooth leather, allowing the backpack to adapt naturally to what you carry. We have intentionally avoided a rigid plastic frame to maintain its traditional, relaxed character. At the same time, the leather-reinforced base, leather straps, and reinforced stress points provide added stability and durability. When fully packed, the “Henry” takes on its distinctive shape and really brings the vintage design to life.
Q3. Is the “Henry” backpack an original Swiss Army backpack?
No. The “Henry” is not an original Swiss Army rucksack. It is a carefully crafted reinterpretation of classic hiking, military, and alpine mountaineering backpacks inspired by designs from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its leather straps, patch pockets, and traditional silhouette are inspired by a time when backpacks were made primarily from durable, natural materials. For the Special Edition, this timeless aesthetic is combined with modern functionality, including: 30-liter storage capacity Padded shoulder straps Laptop compartment for laptops up to 15 inches Practical design for modern travel and everyday use The result is a backpack that combines the character of a classic vintage pack with the practicality of a modern backpack.
Q4. Is the suede “Henry” backpack suitable for outdoor activities?
Yes, for dry-weather activities. The “Henry” Edition is well suited for travel, day trips, walks, and light outdoor adventures. Because the backpack features delicate suede, however, it does require a little extra care. Before taking it outdoors for the first time, we recommend treating the suede with a suitable, colourless waterproofing spray designed specifically for suede or nubuck leather. This helps protect the material against light moisture and dirt, but it does not make the backpack completely waterproof. For this reason, avoid exposing the backpack to heavy rain, prolonged moisture, or very wet conditions. If the backpack does get wet, let it dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid heaters, direct sunlight, hair dryers, or other strong sources of heat, as these can damage the leather and suede.
FAQs: Frequently asked questions about our Backpack »Henry« Suede Coffee-Brown Coffee-Brown
CAN I TAKE THE "HENRY" EDITION BACKPACK ON THE PLANE?
Yes, the "Henry" Special Edition backpack is suitable as carry-on luggage for many airlines. With its generous 30-liter capacity, the leather backpack offers ample space for clothing, travel documents, personal items, and a laptop up to 15 inches. Since permitted dimensions and weight limits can vary depending on the airline and fare booked, you should check the current carry-on baggage regulations before departure. Thanks to its soft construction, the vintage backpack is flexible to pack and easy to stow in the overhead compartment.
IS THE LEATHER BACKPACK "HENRY" DIMENSIONALLY STABLE OR RATHER SOFT?
The "Henry" backpack belongs to the soft-sided backpack category. This special edition is crafted from fine suede and robust smooth leather, allowing it to easily adapt to its contents. A rigid plastic stiffener is deliberately omitted to preserve the authentic character of a vintage mountaineering backpack. The smooth leather-reinforced base, leather straps, and carefully crafted stress points nevertheless provide the backpack with stability. "Henry" looks particularly striking when fully packed, 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 rucksack. It's a meticulously crafted reinterpretation of classic hiking, military, and alpine mountaineering backpacks from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The distinctive leather straps, patch pockets, and traditional silhouette evoke a time when backpacks were predominantly made from high-quality natural materials. In the Special Edition, this historical design is given a particularly stylish interpretation 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 for up to 15-inch laptops.
IS THE "HENRY" BACKPACK IN SUEDE 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 little extra care. Before its first use outdoors, the suede backpack must be treated with a suitable, colorless waterproofing spray for nubuck or suede leather. This treatment protects the material from light moisture and dirt, but it does not make the backpack waterproof. Even after treatment, you should avoid heavy downpours, prolonged rain, and very wet conditions. In case of unexpected rain, the backpack should be allowed to dry slowly at room temperature. Heaters, direct sunlight, and other strong heat sources can damage the leather.
