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.
FAQs: Frequently asked questions about our Briefcase »Noah« Forest-Green
IS THE BRIEFCASE "NOAH" IN FOREST-GREEN WATERPROOF OR WATER-REPELLENT?
The men's briefcase is water-repellent due to the wax layer on the canvas. Water beads off and does not penetrate the material's interior. However, the bag is not completely waterproof and should not be submerged in water. The briefcase reliably protects its valuable contents from rain and splashes.
IS THE BRIEFCASE "NOAH" IN FOREST-GREEN STRUCTURED OR RATHER SOFT?
Our new Heritage collection is made from heavy 22oz cotton twill that is additionally waxed. As a result, the products have a natural structure and stability. The most significant advantage is that this effect is achieved without the need for additional plastic lamination. We love this look!
DOES THE BRIEFCASE "NOAH" IN FOREST-GREEN MADE OF WAXED CANVAS HAVE A LAPTOP COMPARTMENT?
The canvas briefcase has a padded laptop compartment suitable for laptops up to 16 inches in size.
HOW CAN I CLEAN AND MAINTAIN MY BRIEFCASE "NOAH" IN FOREST-GREEN?
We believe that a casual vintage-style briefcase should show signs of use, reflecting its history and character. However, if you still wish to clean your men's briefcase, we recommend three steps:
- Remove dust and dirt particles from the briefcase, using a brush or a hand vacuum cleaner.
- Gently dab and rub stains with a clean, damp cloth. If stains are stubborn, you may try a mild detergent solution.
- Occasionally, lightly apply leather conditioner (e.g., beeswax or carnauba wax leather care). Be careful to avoid applying the conditioner to the canvas to prevent stains.
DOES THE MEN'S BRIEFCASE "NOAH" IN FOREST-GREEN NEED TO BE RE-WAXED?
The wax is permanently incorporated into the canvas material, and the waxed cotton should retain its water-repellent effect and material properties for at least 10 years. However, if you still wish to re-wax the bag, you should only use designated textile waxes (e.g., Dr. Gee's waterproofing wax) for this purpose.
WHAT TYPE OF LEATHER IS USED FOR THE BRIEFCASE "NOAH" IN FOREST-GREEN?
For the briefcase, we exclusively use vegetable-tanned and full-grain buffalo leather. This particularly durable leather originates from India. During production, our leather is additionally hand-treated with a colored wax, sealed, and thus acquires its unique vintage patina, creating a perfect interplay with our waxed canvas.
WHERE AND HOW IS THE BRIEFCASE "NOAH" IN FOREST-GREEN MADE FROM CANVAS AND LEATHER?
Our products are crafted in India. Our manufacturing facility is a small family business, and their dedicated employees passionately create our bags with great care and craftsmanship. Over time, a genuine friendship has developed from our longstanding collaboration. The production conditions comply with socially acceptable standards and adhere to BSCI criteria. We regularly visit the facility in person to ensure compliance. Our leather and cotton fabrics are locally sourced directly from India. When dyeing our cotton fabrics, we use only dyeing agents that are free from AZO dyes. Our leather is fundamentally vegetable-tanned, meaning it is treated with plant-based tanning agents without the use of aggressive chemicals. Our standards are socially and ecologically responsible, surpassing average norms. Nevertheless, we continue to strive for improvement, aiming to enhance our ecological and social impact even further.
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.
