The "Paula" rolltop backpack is a modern homage to the classic courier backpack, which originated in the 1990s – developed back then for bicycle messengers who required maximum flexibility, security, and storage space. Today, this iconic rolltop style is not only functional but also stylish – especially when it's made from high-quality, robust buffalo leather like the "Paula." This gives the backpack not only durability but also a natural elegance that makes it suitable for everyday use and even socially acceptable.

Whether as a companion to the office, university, or on day trips – "Paula" is a versatile leather backpack for men and women that impresses with both style and functionality. The integrated 15-inch laptop compartment (25 x 33 cm) protects your tech, while two zippered exterior pockets and an additional interior compartment keep things organized. The hidden zippered compartment on the back is especially practical – ideal for valuables that need to be safely stowed away while on the go.

Thanks to the expandable roll-top closure, the backpack adapts flexibly to your everyday needs: When fully extended, it offers approximately 16 liters of storage space – enough room for a laptop, notebook, water bottle, and more. The elaborately quilted back with elegant diamond stitching not only ensures a stylish look but also comfortable carrying.

Crafted from natural buffalo leather, each "Paula" backpack becomes truly unique over time. The distinctive patina that develops with daily use tells the story of your life—of adventures, travels, and moments that have shaped you.

»Paula« is not only a practical companion, but a statement for timeless style, sustainable quality and the beauty of life.

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.
