A Rather Splendid Backpack That Does Rather More Than You'd Expect
Look, we'll be honest. We've made a backpack. Nothing revolutionary there. Except we've rather gone and made it properly by hand, in England, using the sort of leather that makes you feel like you've made a genuinely grown-up life choice. Gothic grey and black vertical stripes, sturdy silver nickel buckles, and a black interior that somehow manages to be both moody and practical.
Why Choose Our Handmade Leather City Backpack
Beautifully Crafted British Leather: Each bag is handmade to order using the finest Scottish leather and traditional craftsmanship. This means yours arrives rather more personal than the mass-produced alternatives.
Genuinely Versatile: Wear it as a proper backpack, sling it cross-body, or throw it over one shoulder. We've even included detachable straps so you can switch between configurations without looking utterly bewildered.
Fits What You Actually Carry: Accommodates laptops and tablets up to 10 inches, plus one generous internal section and a smaller front pocket for the bits you'd rather not lose.
Customise It Into Something Even Better: Swap the traditional buckle fastenings for magnetic ones if you prefer less faffing about. Optional strap sliders are available for improved comfort and a more secure fit.
Stitched to Last: Matching stitching throughout and proper silver nickel hardware mean this is a bag you'll still be quite fond of in several years.
Product Details

Handmade in the UK: Using the finest Scottish leather with traditional British craftsmanship. Each bag varies slightly due to its handmade nature, which rather makes it more charming than identical factory production

Order yours now. Each bag is made to order, which means you're getting something properly made rather than pulled from a warehouse shelf.
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.
