The Backpack That Actually Works (And Looks Rather Good Doing It)
Right, let's be honest. Most backpacks are a bit of a mess. They sag, they crease, they make you look like you're heading off on an expedition when you're just nipping to the office. This one doesn't. Handcrafted in England using proper traditional methods and the sort of leather that improves with every scratch and scuff, this is a backpack that genuinely gets better with age. Marvellous, really.
Why Choose Our Handmade Leather City Backpack
Beautifully Crafted Construction: Each backpack is meticulously handmade using superior quality leather and traditional British craftsmanship. The matching stitching and silver nickel buckles create that rather fetching finish that actually holds up.
Properly Versatile Design: Wear it as a traditional backpack for hands-free commuting, or sling it over your shoulder when you fancy a change. One bag, two ways to carry it. Splendid efficiency.
Customisable to Your Taste: Stick with the classic buckle fastenings, or upgrade to magnetic closures for something a touch more refined. Add adjustable strap sliders for improved comfort and a secure fit. Make it genuinely yours.
Compact Yet Capable: The small fits tablets and laptops up to 10 inches. The Plus accommodates up to 13 inches. Both are designed for city explorers who refuse to compromise between style and practicality.

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!
PAYMENT
We're frightfully modern and accept all the usual suspects:
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay
SECURE AS HOUSES
Everything's properly encrypted and secure - your details are safer than the Crown Jewels!

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.
