The Rather Marvellous Backpack You Never Knew You Needed

Right then, let's be honest: finding a proper backpack that doesn't make you look like you're about to abseil down a cliff face is frightfully difficult. This one, however, is rather splendid. Handmade in England using the finest Scottish leather and traditional craftsmanship, it's the sort of bag that quietly announces you have your life together, even if you absolutely don't.

Why Choose Our Handmade Leather City Backpack

Beautifully Crafted in the UK Stitched by actual humans using proper Scottish leather, not assembled in some faceless warehouse by robots who frankly don't care about your commute.
Gorgeously Versatile Wear it as a backpack or sling it over your shoulder. It's rather good at adapting to your mood.
Chrome Grey Interior with Silver Nickel Buckles The finer details matter, and these little touches make the whole thing utterly fetching. Integrated cardholder included because we know you've lost your cards before.
Properly Handsome and Practical Safely carries laptops and tablets without collapsing like a sad tent. Two sizes available to suit your particular computing needs.
Endlessly Personalizable Opt for magnetic fastenings instead of traditional buckles. Add strap sliders for improved comfort. Even custom engravings available if you fancy it.

THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS

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.

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!

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.
