Collection: Hand-dyed, hand-waxed natural fibre rucksacks
Our signature minimalist roll-top rucksacks use an innovative and versatile drawstring closure design, allowing us to use minimal metal (2 buckles only) and minimal plastics (we sometimes recycle yoga mats for strap padding - but will soon be phasing out this material use). All are made with hemp, organic cotton, beeswax, plant dyes, and vegetable-tanned leather. The same system comes in three sizes: Shale 7L, Quartzite 14L and Dolomite 18L. We also like producing uniquie variants of this model with materials we have at hand; vintage cotton liners, scraps from a previous project, salvaged suede leather or high-quality upcycled canvas.
