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.

We are Daniel and Christoph and live our dream. We founded the DRAKENSBERG label because we want to inspire people to recognize the true value of travel and to strive for it.

To understand the path as a goal and to grow with it. A good trip means learning. About life and about yourself. We know that a good trip can change a whole life. Our travel bags are intended to remind people of the zeitgeist of the 19th and 20th centuries, when travel was still an adventure and travelers were adventurers.

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.
