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.

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.

frequently asked Questions

Is the “Arthur” backpack suitable for everyday business use?

The business backpack »Arthur« offers a perfect balance of style and functionality. With the practical technology compartment at the front, the padded 16" laptop compartment (29x36cm) and a well thought-out space concept, it enables organized and safe storage of all necessary work equipment. Particularly practical, the backpack can be fully opened at the back.

Is the canvas backpack »Arthur« waterproof or water-repellent?

The laptop backpack is modeled on classic courier backpacks from the 20th century and is made of natural materials such as canvas and leather. However, the standard version of the backpack is not waterproof or water-repellent. A short rain shower will not harm it, but we recommend waterproofing it in heavy rain. The backpack can be waterproofed very easily afterwards using a commercially available and colorless waterproofing spray (e.g. Imprägnol). Alternatively, you can also use waterproofing wax (e.g. Dr. Gee's waterproofing wax). You should just be aware that this can change the color and texture of the bag. It is best to test the waterproofing on the back.

Can I take the rolltop backpack »Arthur« on the plane as hand luggage?

Yes, the business backpack »Arthur« is IATA compliant and can be taken on the plane as hand luggage. With its well thought-out dimensions, it meets the hand luggage requirements of most airlines.

How can I clean and care for my backpack »Arthur«?

The vintage look of the backpack may show signs of use. If you still want to clean it, we recommend the following steps:

1. Remove dust and dirt particles with a brush or handheld vacuum cleaner.

2. Dab stains with a damp cloth and rub gently. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can help.

3. Care for the leather regularly with a suitable care product (e.g. beeswax or carnauba wax), but avoid the canvas to avoid stains.

Quality:
Very high quality workmanship.
Strong, sturdy material. I would say it's indestructible.
Areas subject to greater wear and tear (base, straps, closure) made of thick, solid buffalo leather.

Optics:
I like this adventure look! The combination of leather and strong cotton looks great and promises long-lasting joy on every transport/trip/adventure

To use:
Lots of compartments and loops to store all your notebook or general technology accessories and have them quickly at hand.
Thanks to the separate zipper, you can access your notebook directly and without detours.

A small note about the Drakensberg video on Amazon: The backpack is of course also ideal for a MacBook (Pro) and Apple accessories.

In terms of style/quality etc. it goes very well with the Mel bum bag from Drakensberg, which I bought together with this backpack.
