material

Pure cotton & fine saddle leather

Our Kimberley collection is made of extra-robust cotton canvas, which is produced in Germany. The production is particularly resource-efficient, as only recycled water is used for the dyeing process, which is then reused in a closed purification process. The dyeing is of course azo dye-free.

Our saddle leather, which is particularly thick and robust, comes from water buffalo and is vegetable tanned. It comes from an LWG silver-certified tannery. Our leather gets its special patina from a special wax that is applied by hand.

Lotus effect: weatherproof cotton for everyday use

This product is water-repellent and perfectly designed for everyday use. We only use 100% cotton, which has been deeply impregnated to achieve a fascinating lotus effect. This means the canvas remains weatherproof and reliably protects your belongings, without the use of plastic.

Pure cotton lining

Our lining is made of pure cotton twill, a soft and natural material. Its special weave gives it a fine, diagonal structure that creates a particularly elegant look. This high-quality lining underlines the luxurious character of our Kimberley collection and at the same time ensures high functionality. This means your valuables remain well protected and you can enjoy the comfort that only natural materials can offer.

The value of a good trip

The story behind the bags

We are Daniel and Christoph and we are living our dream. Although we are both completely different, we share a great passion: traveling. We founded the DRAKENSBERG label because we want to inspire people to recognize the true value of travel and to strive for it. To see the journey as a destination and to grow from it. Because we believe that a good trip can change your whole life. The trip that changed our lives took us across South Africa almost 20 years ago. When we wanted to drive from Cape Town to the Drakensberg. But we never got there.

Henrietta - good backpack (also for men ;-) )

...I forgot one detail earlier: The Henrietta's leather bottom is slightly raised on the back! That's great, because that's a chafing spot that unfortunately often leads to the demise of other backpacks.

Henrietta - good backpack (also for men ;-) )

I searched for a while until I found a backpack without plastic that looked the same and didn't look flimsy.
I think it's a good value for money! I got it yesterday and am curious to see how the canvas will last and look in a few months (I've owned several backpacks over the past 25 years, including loden leather models from other manufacturers).
