The leather bum bag »Mel« (L) is a large belt bag with lots of compartments and is perfect for everyday use. It is particularly practical when travelling, when you want to keep your valuables safely stowed away but always have them to hand. The design dates back to the late 1980s and was made world famous by the Californian skater movement. The "hip bag" is currently experiencing a major revival in street style. With the model »Mel« (L) we have reduced this design classic to the essentials and given it a contemporary and grown-up look with our leather.
The large bum bag can be worn around the hips or across the shoulder or cross-body. The bag is currently available in two sizes (M) & (L). The bum bag can be individually adjusted to the waist (90-120cm or clothing size M-XL). The model has 2 zipped compartments at the front and 1 zipped compartment at the back. The belt is opened and closed with a metal snap fastener.
The bum bag »Mel« (L) is made almost entirely by hand. Only natural and sustainable materials are used. All stress points are additionally reinforced.

material
Full grain buffalo leather
During the British era in India, traditional bag making flourished. The fusion of British designs with Indian craftsmanship resulted in high-quality leather bags made from robust, vegetable-tanned buffalo leather, also known as hunter leather, which is known for its distinctive grain. In our collection we use exactly this special material to create a high-quality and authentic look. The durable Hunter leather develops a beautiful patina over time, which gives each bag a unique and personal touch.
Pure cotton lining
Our lining fabric is made from pure cotton twill, a soft and natural material. For the Outlaw collection, we have developed an inspiring signature print featuring old nautical charts that gives each piece a special touch. This high-quality cotton lining not only offers comfort, but also a stylish addition to our handmade bags.
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.
