Classic kid's backpack in 19th century mountaineering design, an small icon made of canvas and leather
- REAL HANDWORK
- 100% GENUINE LEATHER
- PURE COTTON
- VEGETABLE TANNED
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.
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.
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.
