Inspired by the heroic beginnings of mountaineering and the legendary expeditions of the early 20th century, we created our style icon "Henry" in 2014. Due to high demand, we are now following up in 2024 with the children's version "Henry Junior" - developed for young adventurers between 6 and 12 years old.
Just like its big role model, "Henry Junior" also impresses with its lovingly crafted details: lightly padded, adjustable straps that adapt to every growth spurt, and a high-quality quilted, lightly padded back for maximum wearing comfort. The interior of the children's backpack offers a spacious main compartment, ideal for everything that young explorers need on their excursions, as well as a secure compartment for valuables in the front area. The tablet compartment for iPads and tablets up to 11" is especially practical. The side exterior pockets with closures provide additional storage space for small items.
The craftsmanship of "Henry Junior" is in no way inferior to the original. All wear points are externally trimmed with leather, stress points additionally reinforced. The back is not just padded but also elaborately quilted, turning the canvas backpack into not just a practical item but also a small piece of art. The bottom is completely made of leather, giving the children's backpack a sturdy base to master every adventure.
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.

We only use the finest of hides that are subjected to only a minimum of chemical processes to leave them exceptionally smooth and natural in look and feel. Over time, the leather will develop a rich and lustrous patina. Water repellent premium canvas and our cotton lining fabrics, combining with solid brass and copper hardware-materials chosen not only for their character but for their endurance.
