A Rather Splendid Striped Leather Backpack You'll Actually Want to Carry

Look, we'll be honest with you. We've made rather a lot of leather backpacks over the years, but there's something genuinely fabulous about this one. Handcrafted in England using the finest Scottish leather, it arrives looking distinctly like something you might have inherited from an impossibly cool relative. Except you won't have to wait for the will reading.

Why Choose Our Handmade Leather City Backpack

Gorgeously Versatile Carrying Options: Wear it as a traditional backpack, sling it across your chest as a crossbody bag, or throw it over one shoulder like you've got somewhere terribly important to be. The adjustable straps mean it actually fits properly, which is rather nice.

Beautifully Crafted with Proper Attention to Detail: Black and white horizontal stripes, matching stitching throughout, sturdy silver nickel buckles, and a proper black interior. It's the sort of bag that looks increasingly marvellous the more you use it.

Safely Stores Your Tech Without the Faffing: The spacious main compartment and handy front internal pocket will keep your laptop or tablet (up to 10 inches) completely secure. Because dropping your device is never part of the plan.

Utterly Fetching Customisation Options: Stick with the traditional buckle fastenings, or upgrade to magnetic closures for something sleeker. We can even hand-engrave your initials if you'd like to get properly fancy about it.

Product Details

Exterior Dimensions: 10 inches wide, 11.5 inches tall, 4 inches deep

Interior Dimensions: 22 centimetres wide, 26 centimetres tall, 8 centimetres deep, with a front pocket measuring 18.5 by 20 by 2 centimetres

Strap Reach: Crossbody strap adjusts from 50 to 70 centimetres drop from shoulder for a rather comfortable fit

Materials and Craftsmanship: Handmade in England using finest Scottish leather with traditional British construction methods. Each bag is entirely unique because, well, that's what happens when skilled humans make something rather than machines.

What's Included: Detachable and adjustable backpack straps plus a separate detachable and adjustable crossbody strap, so you're never short of carrying options

A word of gentle assurance: because each bag is handmade from real leather, measurements may vary very slightly. Consider this part of the charm rather than a flaw.

This is the sort of backpack that actually improves with age and use. The leather develops character, the patina deepens, and you'll find yourself reaching for it again and again. Rather good value for something this beautifully made, if we do say so ourselves.

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.
