The Backpack That Actually Works (And Looks Rather Good Doing It)
Right, let's be honest. Most backpacks are rather forgettable affairs. This one, however, is properly handsome. Handcrafted in England from genuinely quality leather using methods that would make your grandfather nod approvingly, this is a bag that gets better with age and won't fall apart the moment you sneeze near it.
Why Choose Our Leather City Backpack
Beautifully Crafted Heritage: Each bag is made by hand using traditional English craftsmanship. No shortcuts, no mass-production nonsense. Just splendid, fabulously made leather that develops character as you use it.
Two Ways to Wear It: Sling it over your shoulder like a messenger bag, or wear it as a proper backpack. Marvellous versatility for the indecisive among us.
Delightfully Stylish Details: Matching stitching and silver nickel buckles combine to create something rather fetching. The kind of thing you'll actually want people to notice.
Make It Yours: Swap the traditional buckles for magnetic fastenings via the personalisation menu. Optional strap sliders are available too for improved comfort and a secure fit. Bespoke without the bewildering complexity.
Product Details
Size Guide: Small fits tablets and laptops up to 10 inches. Plus size accommodates up to 13 inches. Choose based on what you actually need to carry.
Colour: Marsala Red. A gloriously warm shade that sits somewhere between wine and mahogany. Rather stunning with everything, truth be told.
Material: Premium handmade leather in Marsala Red with silver nickel hardware.
Customisation: Fancy a different colour from our range. Get in touch and we'll make it happen.
This is the sort of backpack that makes you feel like you've got your life together, even when you absolutely haven't. Quite the showstopper.
SHIPPING + RETURNS
THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
