Rather Good British Craftsmanship You Can Actually Carry Around
Look, we made a backpack. Not the sort of thing one usually gets excited about, but it turns out when you use proper Scottish leather and spend an embarrassing amount of time hand-stitching it all together, something rather marvellous happens. This is a backpack that looks splendid, feels glorious, and won't fall apart the moment you sneeze near it.
Why Choose Our Handmade Leather City Backpack
Built by hand in England: Each bag is carefully handcrafted using the finest Scottish leather and traditional British methods. No mass production, no shortcuts, just proper care.
Utterly versatile: Wear it as a proper backpack or sling it over your shoulder like you've just returned from something important. It carries laptops and tablets without complaint.
Beautifully finished: Matching stitching, silver nickel buckles, and a black interior combine to create something quite the showstopper. It looks rather good and handles itself with quiet dignity.
Personalise it however you like: Swap the traditional buckle fastenings for magnetic ones if you prefer. Add adjustable strap sliders for improved comfort. Make it genuinely yours.
Product Details
Available sizes: Small (holds tablets and laptops up to 10 inches) and Plus (accommodates up to 13 inches). Choose whichever suits your particular lifestyle.
What's included: Integrated cardholder, adjustable and detachable shoulder straps, silver nickel buckles, and more craftsmanship than one has any right to expect.
Custom colours: Prefer a different shade from our leather range. Contact us about bespoke options beyond what's listed here.
Engraving available: Add your initials or a meaningful message if you fancy making it even more personal.
This is the sort of backpack for people who actually notice quality and don't mind supporting something beautifully made. Given the time involved in making each one properly, these tend not to stick around for very long. If it's caught your eye, it's probably worth acting on that impulse.
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!

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.
