The Classic is built for the man who wants the structure and character of leather without the full leather weight. Durable canvas body. Rich tan leather accents on the handles, trim, and closures. The combination that ages well and travels better.
Two front flap pockets with buckle closures. A rear zipper pocket. Eight total compartments. Everything organised before the bag opens.
At 1.0 kg it is the lightest bag in the collection. The one you reach for when the day is long and the load needs to be light.
For the man who appreciates enduring design and carries it every day.

Conditioning
Apply a natural leather conditioner — beeswax-based or lanolin-based — every 3 to 6 months. Use a soft cloth, work in small circular motions, allow to absorb for 30 minutes, then buff lightly. The leather will darken slightly and return to its natural colour as it dries.
Cleaning
For surface dirt — a slightly damp cloth, no soap. For deeper marks — a small amount of saddle soap on a damp cloth, worked gently into the leather, wiped clean, then dried with a soft cloth.
Water
East African full grain leather is naturally water resistant. If the bag gets wet — wipe dry immediately and allow to air dry away from direct heat. Do not use a hair dryer or place near a radiator.
The Patina
The darkening, softening, and character development that appears over months of carry is not wear. It is the leather responding to your use. Condition it regularly and it will continue to develop for years. No two bags age identically. That is the point.
Storage
Store in the dust bag when not in use. Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods. Do not compress under heavy objects.
